I'm setting up a lan with vlans. Now I'm wondering a couple of things that I have not found any answer to. I know that I untag access ports and tag trunk ports but when do I tag vs untag a bridge? I would like to know the general rule of the above but can also supply my setup: isp---rb3011---cap ac ...

After a reboot of the computer the upgrade worked.

Hi, I'm setting up a cap ac XL. I was trying to netinstall the latest Long-term release of routeros but ended up with getting stuck. I whaited for 30 min but I was stuck: One thing I have not found any infromation on is the "boot port" of the cap. I could not find any info on https://help....

Johannes33

Ok thanks for the information

it is good to know.

Johannes33

Interesting, There are two different programs you can get depending on the version you download. From the official documentation: download.mikrotik.com/routeros/[VERSION]/netinstall-[VERSION].tar.gz But what is [VERSION]? Normally the version that runs a task does not have to be the same as the vers...

Johannes33

I have no netinstall-cli.
The wget from the official netinstall page downloads "netinstall" not "netinstall-cli".
I think you have an old download that might correspond to the old guide.
In that case the guide perhaps worked.

Johannes33

The problem is the dependencies of netconfig. There is no mention of dependencies on the official page . If you do not have them or know which they are then you can not run the program. If someone made a working program by defining the dependencies and put it in a repository I'm happy to use it sinc...

Johannes33

Hi, So how to netinstall from a linux machine to a routerboard device. 1. Install netinstall a) See if you have netinstall in any repository so you can install it with a package manager. If you do that you will pull the necessary dependencies and make the program work. For me on manjaro with the abi...

Johannes33

Hi, First, Is there a way to have a stable connection to a routerboard through mac. I remember when the rb3011 was new, I think I could use the mac connection indefinitely. Now after I remove the default settings I get thrown out and after that I can connect using mac. But I can only stay connected ...

Johannes33

I have seen a lot of complaints about the speed and range of mikrotik wifi equiptments. Is it not better to use tp-link or asus? What about the coverage in a house with walls, how many meters/feet is it's range for decent wifi for streaming netflix and playing low graphics games (roblox)? I will pro...

Johannes33

Hi, My home wifi ap just broke down. It was a unifi ap ac lite. I was not totally happy with the ap, it was a little weak and did not cover good in my house. I live in a stand alone wooden house with a concrete blocked basement and has little wifi interference from houses around. The house is 8x12 m...

Johannes33

sorry but my mikrotik knowledge is a little rusty, I did the setup some 4 or 5 years ago and have not been configuring anything for that time. What do would you like me to change for it to work? I see that you added drop multicast in "Drop tries to reach not public addresses from LAN" and ...

Johannes33

Hi, I'm trying to get UPnP working but my torrent client reprots the listening port for incoming connections to be closed at all time. I have tried to disable the software firewall so what is left is the mikrotik 3011. I do not know what is wrong.... # jun/09/2021 17:06:41 by RouterOS 6.48.3 # softw...

Johannes33

Thanks a lot, my router now distributes 1.1.1.1 as dns-server to all my devices. For optimum throughout put is it wise to use the router as DNS server. When I enabled "allow remote requests" and checked at the speed against a server it seemed as if the speed in the beginning of the test, i...

Johannes33

Here is the file: The dns server 1.1.1.1 is something I tried to add to make all work and I did not know how to remove afterwards. I would like to load webpages fast so I think that means that I would like to let my RB cache dns queries. Also I would like to be able to set dns server on my RB and th...

Johannes33

Hi ho, on you as well :) I have since before a route: DAS Destination address:"0.0.0.0/0" Gateway: "100.65.42.1 reachable ether 1" Distance: "1" traceroute shows that I reach 100.65.42.1 as first hop after my routers ip, when I see what hops I do when I go for an intern...

Johannes33

Hi, I just changed my isp. Before the change connections via wifi and ethernet to the internet for computer and phones worked flawlessly. Now only if I use a public dns server like 1.1.1.1 on computers or phones, internet work. The DNS servers given by dhcp from my isp work. If I connect directly, b...

Johannes33

I can not see any information there, newer versions crypt the file. I will not be able to log in to the mikrotik RB before the installation since my win7 installation is screwed up and do not have any network. Can I just export addresses.wbx and then when I have clean installed the new OS load addre...

Johannes33

I just want a username and password that I know since I will be removing the HDD and make a clean install on a new m.2 drive.
Perhaps you have a better suggestion for my migration schema.

Johannes33

Ok. good.
So after that I just create a new administrator with a new password and kill the old one?
Thanks for the help.

Johannes33

Hi I have winbox installed and wanted connect to my router (RB3011UIAS-RM) and I get a message that my version of winbox is to old (v3.11). I do not remember my password and will format my hdd so I wonder if there is a way to get my password back to access the router. my current winbox-installation ...

Johannes33

Ok. The problem is that since I'm a newbie I do not trust my skills to do a config myself. I think all my saved .rsc files are from configs I did. I mean I got hacked because I did not have any restriction in my config about winbox access from wan. So I would like to use the default settings and bui...

Johannes33

> /import file-name: test.rsc failure: already have interface with such name >/import file-name=test.rsc failure: already have interface with such name It did not work. Did I do something wrong? Ok perhaps I need to factory reset without default settings then add the settings. rsc is like a script f...

Johannes33

Ok thank you for the correction.
I'm still a newbie since I did not touch the router since I set it up a year ago.
It is my home router and I do not work with routerOS on a daily basis.

Johannes33

Hi nomis. Yes I was considering to send an email but I bought the HW a year ago so I did not know if my question would be accepted. Well about the command: I have tried two ways: The GUI right click file and restore and /system backup load name=filename password="my admin login password". ...

Well here is where I'm right now. system: RouterBOARD 3011UiAS ROS v. 6.43 Firmware v. 3.41 firmwaretype ipq8060 problem: Can't connect to Netflix when connected to the mikrotik. This has been the problem since I got hacked. And it persists. Can not use .rsc files to restore the system I get a error...

Johannes33

I did the whole process offline: where I did the netinstall, changed password and username for the admin account and so on using the " https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Securing_Your_Router " guide. I used the default settings, the rest I got fresh from the internet. I think it is fish...

Johannes33

Hi, The essence of my question is if hackers, having access to my router, could put malicious code in the default configuration or routerBOOT which I later use to build a new configuration on? I got hacked with the mikrotik.php. I did a firmware update to the latest firmware (/system routerboard upg...

Johannes33

I think I need to do something. I'm still hacked I think. netflix reports me as being behind a vpn or proxy. but when I bypass the rb 3011 I do not have that problem. As you can see from previous posts I reseted the router and used factory default script. problem is perhaps it was hacked before when...

Johannes33

Hi, Thanks for the help. I removed the mirkotik.php that was a known sign of being hacked I used the howto and I tried to follow your comments Steveocee. I'm still a little bit unsure about if all is well with my system or not. I still have the error message that Netflix senses that my traffic is be...

Johannes33

Hi. I'm no longer able to log in with winbox to my router (RB3011). When starting netflix they say that my traffic is being proxied or VPN:ed. So I'm starting to think I have been hacked. Since I'm not so knowledgeable I do not really know what this mean in terms of security breaches. Any way. I was...

Hi thanks for the time you take in answering my questions :) I'm not really familiar with all the things to be done but I will show you in a diagram how my setup is now to not cause any confusion.

Hi, I'm currently having an rb3011 connected to wan, an unifi AP and an "ethernet lan", all up and running well on different networks. Now I wonder if it is possible to have the ethernet lan and the devices connected to the AP on the same network? I would like to cast from my computer on t...

Hi. I dont know if this is possible but I would like to use my windows7 computer as a workstation and a fileserver. I would like to handle access to the fileserver with permission that people on one subnetwork would get access to some files and the other subnetwork should have total access. I was th...

Johannes33

Thanks for the replies. I will look in to changing mac address on the unifi if it is not to hard. But I still think it is strange. we checked the location on google maps on 2 iphones and 2 android devices, all was connected to the same wifi-network, shouldn't all have connected to the same library?....

Johannes33

Yes. there are multiple ways to give google maps info on location. The funny thing was when I disconnected the ap the phone found the right place. So somehow something was transmitted from the network to make it think poland instead of sweden. So I wonder how could this be. The ip for my isp is show...

Johannes33

Hi all.
I have a mikrotik rb3011 with a unifi ap ac lite connected. The ap has a setting for sweden, on the rb I set sweden stockholm as time zone. but when one of our mobile android phones get connected it shows that we are in poland when using google maps.
Any suggestions?

Johannes33

Thank you!!!

Johannes33

Hi,
Is it possible to switch on or off the Poe with regard of the clock?
I.e. I would like it to start at 7am and shut off at 1am every day.

Johannes33

It was the firewall. I modified the firewall to be the same for both the ethernet connected computer and wifi. I'm puzzled about what is not correct with the firewall since the computer works and got internet connection but the wifi does not. here is the modified file that does not work. /ip firewal...

Johannes33

Thanks a lot. That helped. I just removed the variable and no more assignment problem. :) I have a bigger puzzle for you if you are up for it. Just posted a setting that does not work and I can't for my life understand what is wrong. except perhaps that it is a little strange that I can use the mast...

Johannes33

Hi. Im quite new to routeros.
I have read most of "routeros by example" and now I would like to set up the AP for the router and I don't have a clue.
I would just need basic functionality.
my hardware is rb3011 and a unifi ap ac light.
Thanks.

Johannes33

so it will probably be better to install one ap and accept bad reception or is the problems small enough to get two ap:s and good reception everywhere?
what would you recommend?
Or perhaps use a hap ac or wap ac witch has more power?
and there what is the pro/con with wap vs hap ac?

Johannes33

If I install 2 ap:s that overlap partially. Is there a problem if they overlap?
Is roaming when moving from one ap to the other?
how does my client behave when using mikroik ap:s that is not roaming?

Johannes33

I searched the net and found a solution.
When using Network connection Host-only and then sharing the network with wmware ethernet connection in windows I don't have a problem with my firewall blocking winbox.
I got it from this youtube video.

Johannes33

Hi all. I was thinking of learning routerOS by setting it up in wmware on my computer. I got it running, I can connect to it by using it's mac address. I used arp-a and angry ip scanner to get all the used ip addresses. When setting it up with 192.168.33/24 in winbox and trying to connect to it usin...

Johannes33

I could buy 2 hap lite and putting them over the cellar then I think they could penetrate. What is the difference of hap lite RB941-2nD-TC and RB941-2nD (classic) and cAP lite RBcAPL-2nD (poe)?

Johannes33

Hi Im building a home network based on a 3011. I also need an AP or two. The house is about 95m2, 8x12.5m with basement. The house is of wood but the walls in the basement is of concrete stones. I mainly use 2.4 ghz, but I would like a good throughput. There will be 2-5 devices connected to the wifi...

Johannes33

The 3011 sounds like a good option, but why use a two controller chip setup? Is there some pro/con with the two controller chip setup? Is there a way to connect the whole 10 gigabit connections to one network and maintain good through output (bridge the two controllers internally)? I was looking for...

Johannes33

Yes the price of the cloud core routers is a little steep. Why I was thinking of mikrotik is because I like to have bang for buck and a stability and problem free system ones it is set up. I would like the budget to be about 200 EUR or 240 Dollar. It would be nice if the price where about 150 EUR. P...

Johannes33

Haha... yes I can see your point. "Is this possible to make with one server and one router/switch?" should be "Is it possible to do this with one server and one router/switch?" I was thinking that I could run multiple VM:s on the server one for webserver and one for file server p...

Johannes33

why not a MikroTik RouterBoard CRS109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN can't it manage duplex on the wifi side? Then I could have the gigabit network on my ethernet connected devices. Is the wifi not as good as the Hap AC or is the router and firewall capabilities not as good? About my layout. Now I have a router with...

Johannes33

So I would like to get my network up and running. I just got fiber installed to my house.
