KNOT Questions (Indoor Location related)

I've been trying to evaluate the KNOT for a BLE gateway application and keep running into some hang ups. I should start off by stating the application is indoor location tracking but unlike what I've seen most setups, our is a live tracking solution (accurate down to ~2 m depending on how many beaco...

CAPsMAN with Dynamic VLAN

I am attempting to get dynamic VLAN working in CAPsMAN and am not currently having any luck. I can get the wireless client to authenticate using EAP but the VLAN is not currently being assigned correctly by CAPsMAN. Running FreeRADIUS 3.0.17 and MariaDB 10.3.17 on CentOS 8. In terms of the CAPsMAN I...

RB912 Lite Offering

Might there be a possibility of a RB912 offering without an integrated wireless radio in the near future?

Ideally looking for a RouterBOARD option which keeps support for Mini PCI-e radios but is otherwise fairly stripped down.

Decline of Mikrotik?

At one of my sites has a lot of stray RF from a piss-poor low power FM station install. I agree that this sometimes can be a problem, but I am not sure it can be blamed on MikroTik. We use MikroTik routers in broadcast towers (kilowatts of transmit power) and in amateur radio repeaters (e.g. in the...

Re: Decline of Mikrotik?

I have even been asked to replace brand new Mikrotik wireless AC units with >3 year old 2.4Ghz UBNT wireless hardware because they like the way it performs better. (Capsman is only ok. Getting kicked off your AP to join another AP is archaic if your not used to it. It feels like a step backwards. Y...

Re: Decline of Mikrotik?

The main question Is mikrotik developing synchronization and/or mu-mimo antenna system? If yes when we can hope to have an ETA? I think a trasparent answer to this question from mikrotik is one step ahead to decide to stay with them or to choose other vendor. Cambium seems to work great in PtMP, Ub...

Re: RB450G Brick or Can recover?

A Null-Modem (crossover) cable will be needed. Otherwise the computer/adapter's TX line will go to the Routerboard's TX line and the RX line will go to the RX line. You need the TX of one device to be matched to the RX of the other.

OnBoard Serial

Please…excuse the unintended pun on the title. Long story short I was curious as to whether or not any of the newer routerboard 802.11ac capable boards have serial ports on board (even if it's just TTL) that can be setup in a serial server configuration. I know I could do it with USB…Just isn't prac...

Re: Need help picking hardware for a mesh network

I'd build a DAS with the AC lite's using a router of ones choosing for the head. RF Elements makes a nice little ceiling enclosure to put the hap inside of (run the cat5 in the attic and limit the wall penetrations for network drops if applicable). Use something like a Wifi-Texas PoE injector Netoni...

Re: hAP lite for commercial broadband use

When the customer asks for a router for their home I generally have provided hAP lite's in the past. Their CPE's are generally UBNT Nanobeams, Rockets, or Nanostations. Those have always been billed at cost with me. Now I'm starting to migrate away from that and move over to the regular hAP for PoE ...

Re: multiple subnets one wireless link

Sounds like an opportunity for VLANs. However, what does the hierarchy of your network look like currently?
