Re: Cat6 LGH LTE Super bad performance

Hi Guys, So I've started to deploy LHG LTE6, LHG cat4 and tried the SXTLTE6. I can definitely say the LTE6 hardware is just a lot more money for no reason. *the cat4 does exactly the same job and provides the same speed* Not much comfort for you but at the advice of a UK supplier we started using a...

Looks like band 20 is the only one I can use with the R11e-LTE, I cant unfortunately tell what band the dongle is running on...

Re: Need help, certain websites stop working after EOIP

Sounds like MTU issue, post anonymized version of the config (between code bracket) here for someone to look at
You are correct, Matching the MTU to 1500 on EoIPs at both ends solved my issue,

Re: EoIP tunnels randomly fail

I cannot suggest what is wrong with the EoIP tunnels, but if you have Mikrotiks at both ends of each tunnel, and unless you need VLANs to run through the tunnels and at the same time be tagged/untagged on the endpoint Mikrotiks, you can use the L2 tunneling capability of L2TP itself.

Re: Bonding Suggestions Hosted MK to Multi FTTC onprem

So I see a couple of threads from a few years ago saying you need individual ip address within the hosted cloud router and that if a line drops the whole thing is goes unstable unless you drop that line out the bond.

Im guessing that if that's the case its maybe not the best idea to peruse?
