Thanks again for everyone's input.

I purchased this li-ion battery from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016BJCRUO/re ... UTF8&psc=1

Will provide feedback on how long it actually lasts in the field.

So if we have a USB battery that can deliver 2.4A at 5 v = 12Watts. The basebox 2 requires max of 10 watts. So from a power perspective it should be ok. But can the Basebox2 handle 2.4 A?

Thank you all for your responses. I was hoping to use the main grid to power the devices and when the power went down shift to the usb battery. So we would not need to be charging the batteries and using them at the same time. It looks like we could use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/40...

We are using Basebox2's and rb951's in an areas with unreliable power. It's expensive to set up full solar power stations in some of these areas. It'd be great to use an external battery with usb outputs. I was thinking we'd use this type of battery: https://www.amazon.com/Battery-AKEEM-Portable-220...

@RogerWilco, what speeds are you getting for up and down using the PPP on the 7304?

I recognize this thread has been dormant for a while but we recently purchased some sierra mc7354b's to use in our RB912UAG-2HPND. We've been able to get working using ppp but the LTE interface is not automatically loading. We're using the most recent firmware (SWI9X15C_05.05.66.00). We are set to m...

Thanks @savage. Two follow-up questions: 1. Would you recommend 60 degree, 90 degree devices? Or the omnitik? I'm looking at the OmniTIK 5 PoE ac, SXT SA5, mANTBox 19s. Any specific recs? 2. We will be using tablets in the clinics to access the wifi. Do you think we will have issues from the device ...

Dear All, I help to run the IT department for a large HIV care program in western Kenya. We have installed basebox2 and wifi access points at 24 remote clinics to support an electronic medical record system which connects to our headquarters via 3g connections over sstp to a CCR1036. We have become ...

Thanks for the clarification. Is this 4000 kb limit per queue? per request? per ip? Say I have a vlan with 10 users and an allocation of 5Mb/5Mb in the simple queue, and say all 10 users are downloading large files at the same time, what will this look like with regards to the pcq's if configured th...

@dgnevans, thanks for the quick response. This seems to be what we need. A question: If a VLAN has a simple queue set to 5 MB / 5 MB, what is the point of then setting pcq-total-limit=4000KiB in the pcq definition? Will that total limit be constrained by the 5MB on the simple queue? Is it necessary ...

Hello, we've set up set up simple queues for each VLAN on our network after upgrading to a CCR. This has added a lot of stability to our network but we now have a problem where individuals within the queue max out the allocated bandwidth. Is there a way to set a limit within the queue such that no u...

Most commonly required key-usages are set by default if not specified manually. so there is no need to explicitly specify key usages, unless you need something very specific. Hmmm. Just recreated the certs and you're absolutlely right. Each cert has digital signature, key encipherment, data enciphe...

I'm creating this post for other potentially frustrated users following the instructions from the wiki on how to create certificates and use for SSTP tunneling (see http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Create_Certificates). We attempted to do the following: /certificate add name=ca-template common-n...

We are able to install on xen-server but the disk is read-only so we can not save any settings. Any advice on how to make disk writeable?

Thank you both!

We are trying to build a registry of all MAC addresses and associate with individual users. It would be great to be able to export the ARP list into a csv file we could load in a spreadsheet. Winbox will allow me to select all the arps in /ip arp but it will not let me copy and paste. Any ideas how ...

I did. But got an error when trying to reboot. More importantly, I'm wondering how others are using thedude as a syslog server. Where do you write the logs to if the primary disk has very little space? Hello, On mentioned site ( https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/installing-mikrotik-ro...

Hello, we are relatively new to routeros. Trying to install thedude as a syslog server on a XEN virtual machine. We used the cloud hosted router vmdk image. It started no problem but the disk is readonly. Any ideas why this might be happening? Also, we set up a test version using digitalocean using ...
