How do you connect by Mac address in winbox 3.13? it only shows address and there is not the ... that older version had by the connect to box to search by mac address if you did not know the address.
I have a customer running ROS 5.19 that has been working fine. Today he has a strange problem. His RB connects to our tower fine. I can winbox to his cpe. I can see him in the arp list with a ip address. I can't ping him from winbox by ip or mac. He can ping the gateway 192.168.88.1 but not the wlan...
I have several different clients cpe that I can't get into, the password has changed somehow. How can i fix it? How can I run nexinstall to reload ROS? most are rb711 and 911 boards. Most Ros are 5.xx. I don't want to have to climb the towers to take the cpe down to i can push the button and try to ...
i take screen shots of the different tabs especially the wireless tab. after you set up new card don't forget to click on ip and address they will be red change interface to new card. check ip routes too.
I am using Eth port 1 through the POE. I have boot from eth set and it tries to boot from ethernet but the notebook running netinstall never sees it. Usually when i do a netinstall the RB is somewhat working and I can get in and set ip address to a known address. I then tell netinstall the ip addres...
I have formated nand. I have notebook pluged into poe and have notebook ip address 192.168.88.7 with 255.255.255.0 netmask I have told netinstall to try 192.168.88.1 and .2 but it just keeps rebooting when it can't fine netinstall. Somehow a ip address needs to be put into the RB. without one how ca...
I have a rb433AH that wont boot up. I can see on the serial port it say nand bad. I can go into setup and tell it to boot from Ethernet. I don't know what the ip address of the board is so it won't talk to netinstall.
Ok I have changed tatics. I am trying to use quickset in ros 5.26 and reset up the SXT's. 我已经设置了主元桥但是当我尝试to use quickset on the slave it won't let me change it from cpe to ptp bridge. So I am stuck again.
I must be dumb. I can't figure out how to get ip address from dsl router on "master" side to ethernet on "slave" side. I have tried turning dhcp client on "master" ethernet and it get a address. I have set static 10.10.. address on wlan interface on both master and slav...
I have 2 SXT setup as a bridge. I used the many online examples and got it to connect. I can MAC ping from one to the other but can't figure out how to get an Ip address from one side to the other. I don't have any bridges in my network. All my towers have APbridge and the cpe are station. I need to...
I have a customer with a RB411 running 5.19. They hav ben running fine for months. I can winbox into their cpe on the Wlan interface from my tower. everything looks fine. the arp list shows the ethernet computers ip address. I can't ping it from the cpe. firewall is normal. defaut route is correct. ...
I have at least 1 router board that is sending out traffic even though nothing is connected to it. Most of the traffic source is port 1080 socks and many of the dest port is 25 smtp. this is causing my network to be attacked from outside and I am geting a lot of email about abuse from outside people...
I use simple queues to set bandwidth for my customers. This is set in each towers AP. RB433AH. I need a way to give 1 customer priority on his towers AP. I looked at the wiki on tree queues but it is greek to me. can anyone give me a sample script to give him first priority on bandwidth? He is set t...
I don't think so. now several of my towers are doing the same thing. floor drops to 50's for a while the goes back up for some time. it seems random and the up time may be minute or less or 12 hours especially at night.
I am getting a specturm analyzer to see if I can find anything out.
I have a 150' tower which has been working fine for 5 years. In the last 2 weeks I have been having problems with the 900 mhz on that tower. The noise floor usually has been in the mid 90's. Now it drops to 50's for a few seconds then returns to mid 80's or higher. Yesterday it worked almost all day...
I don't see a sucessful business model in your case. We charge our customers $250 to $350 installed for CPE and antenna. They are glad to get the service. We are a rural ISP and only have satellite (which we sell too) and cell phone 3g as competitors. Our monthly cost is based on speed they choose a...
my best guess is your upstream provider where you got your ip address had swiped it for a customer and did not clear it when they assigned to you. Ask them to also check their arpa file.
I need help in choosing the best SXT for my setup. I need to replace a fiber backhaul between my office and my mail tower. Distance is 2.25 miles. I am looking at the specs foe the 5 ghz SXT and can't decide which to get. The lite5 has the 600 mhz processer and 64mb ram the 5HPnD has a 400 mhz proce...
Need more info. I assume 1 card is setup as an APbridge or you don't have any signal for the other card to see. what version ROS? please show configuration of wirless
I have a Motel Customer which has several RB411AH Ap's. and the password on the lan side is lost. I don't want to have to re-program all the AP's. I guess I can hook up serially but it will still ask for password. Is there anyway to get in and change the password with out wipeing it out and starting...
How old is the RB411? If you power cycle the 24 volt power supply does the RB411 reboot? Or do you have to switch to 12 volts to get it to reboot? If the RB411 is several years old look at the Caps. Many of the older boards had bad caps. If the are greenish and not brown they are probably the bad on...
With LOS it should work fine. If the offshore is stationary then a grid or yagi should be great. If it is movable like a boat then a sector or Omni would work. Any Mikrotik Router board would work. Make sure you get one with a AP license Level 4 for the shore side. The best solution would be have a ...
Thanks. I want to upgrade some of my cpe to 5.14 not 5.18. They come with 5.9 and I want the have the quick configure feature which 5.9 does not have. I am not ready to jump into 5.18. I have had good luck with 5.14 and will use it for the cpe. I am still using 4.17 for all my AP's and am happy with...
I wish I could but she is 90 and barely can use her computer. I guess road trip. I will remember to fix the firewall in the future I was in a hurry and forgot.
I just replaced a RB711-2hn and forgot to enable the firewall so i can get in remotely. In 4.17 the firewall allowed Winbox, telnet and windows to connect. Anyway I don't want to have to drive back out to customer and reprogram it. I can ping it but telnet and mac telnet from winbox won't let me in....
first I would upgrade to 3.30 that was a good version. if your license will allow go to 4.17. after you upgrade reply and we will see about helping you configure.
I use RB433AH with 3 radio cards in each. Usually 1 2.4 and 1 900 and 1 5ghz with no problems. Some have 2 5ghz and 1 2.4 with no problems. I use to have some with 2 2.4 and did not have problems that I traced to the radios.
do you have dhcp setup in the RB493 on both ethernet and wlan? I bet if you set a static dns address in your notebook you can surf and ping by domain name. I have not played much with bridge mode I use ap-bridge for my towers and station for my clients. you might try setting ip dhcp on the rb411. al...
900 should work. I would use the Xagyl XC900M which is a great 900 card. It cuts down the noise floor and is powerfull. I am replacing my XR9 cards with them.
I use winbox but cli would work too. first click on system on left and chose clock. set your time zone. don't worry about date or time. then click on system and ntp or sntp. now click on enable then unicast. the address boxes will open up and you can put in you NTP server ip address or a ntp site on...
Anyone know how to set tower heights in Google maps. I use the elevation profile all the time and it would be great to have the correct height to see any problems.
Just wondering if anyone has looked into this? Is Mikrotik going to do anything with this? The existing exuipment is VERY expensive $4200 usa for AP and $600-$700 for CPE. Don't see how anyone can sell this at those cost.
I always thought it was for a second antenna. I have some towers that I have hooked the antenna to the aux port. I have NOT hooked 2 antenna at once to the card.
I just got in several RB411L boards to install into CPE. 1 worked ok. The other 2 had problems. They would not communicate with my notebook. My notebook says it is connected but winbox does not show ip address or mac address. I tried to Netinstall 4.17 and they took it. but when they reboot they jus...
你有什么RB ?如果你可以运行winbox click on ip on left side of screen. Then click on address. click on red + sign upper left corner. input the information you just posted and choose ether1 or what ever you call the interface. click on ip dns and fill it in. you may need to set up routes...
I had a simular problem with RB433Ah and R52 card. I replaced the dish and lmr 400 still had bad signal. could not see any radio in scan mode even other radio on tower. But the other side could see it. Turned out that the RX side of the R52 went bad. I replaced the card got it working then later rei...
from winbox open queues on left side. click the + sign on upper left of screen. type in a name for this user. BE SURE to pit the ip address in target address space or all users will be set to this speed. set the limit in the blocks for target upload and target download. if the speed is not listed in...
它应该工作,但你是加2分failure. It is usually always better to have just 1 ethernet cable. Is the coupler inside? If it is outside then weather will kill you after a few months of exposure. Is it where it can't be triped on disconect? In summery it is better to replace wi...
3.30 was a good ROS. I upgraded to 4.17 and everything worked the same or better. Still not sure on AP using 5.x unless it is a new tower not a upgrade. If 5.x will work with all existing customers with out having to change them i may upgrade. Does the any setting really work? will the ap see 802 an...
i use 10mb width with the standard 4 chanels. The XC900M has a jumper that allows you to use 5 channels. I use Nstream with best fit and 512 as size. On my AP's I use RB433AH Ros 4.17 and currently use RB411 for cpe. I am looking at the Rb411L to save money. All are Ros 4.17. Again I see horror stor...
i have several XC900M and they are GREAT! The noise floor with the XR9 bounced around from -50 to -80 something. With the XC900M the floor is steady in mid to high -90's. Beside replacing the AP's XR9 am using the XC900M in all new CPE and will replace some in existing CPE. We have a lot of interfer...
Why 3 RB411 and not use 1 RB433AH? I use them for all my AP's and the RB411 for the cpe. The Rb411AH is a good card but you need 3 for your setup and 3 power supplies.
I may have not been clear on what I need. When I say snapshot I do not mean a picture. All I want is a text report of the noise floor and the tx and rx at the moment the reading was taken. I would like it to be done once a hour and 24 hr a day. then email it to me like the voltage report is done now.
Is there a way to take a snapshot of the noise floor and signal strength say every hour and email it? I already have the script to take a voltage reading once a hour and email it each night to me. I just want to see the Variation of signal strengh and the noise floor over the day.
if you can get in with winbox go to the files tab on the left and open the box. then you drag and drop the mikrotik version of the ROS you want. In this case 3.30. once the file is copied to the file box you go to system on left tab and click packages. you then click on downgrade. it will reboot and...
I have a customer who's cpe is sending out hundred's of port 1080 (socks) to different ip address. I had them unplug or shutdown their computers and it still shows up. It bogs down the link so much it is hard to connect to it. I finaly was able to login and disabled the ethernet interface and the tr...
here is what I got from Mikrotik support after I emailed support.rif
Hello,
a lot of changes in the wireless driver has been done between those versions. I would suggest to migrate to Atheros chipset card or stick with v3.30 for now.
I had and still have in a box on my bench many NL-2511MP PLUS card which use the prism. They worked great in my ap's and cpe with 3.30 ros but did not work with any higher ros like 4.17. I asked Mikrotik and they said prism is not supported and go back to 3.30. so I have most of my network running 4...
I am in Tyler Texas about 30 degree. I have a 190 foot tower running on solar. I have 2 RB433AH one with 3 radio cards and 1 with only 1 radio card. I have 2 190' cat5 run down the tower and powered by 24Volt DC. I do NOT use a POE I power off the plus and minuse of the power regulator. I have 4 bat...
I have a tower that lost connectivity. The tower that feeds it can see it but can't connect. what bothers me is at the bottom of the page in winbox it says disabled even when the interface is enabled and can see the "down" tower. At the bottom of the page it kas 4 places with words in them...
thanks 1 last question. I can telnet and winbox now but not ssh to it. I looked at services and telnet and ssh are enabled. also tools and wireless in winbox don't have ssh as an option. from my unix server i can't ssh to it.
thanks it works!. I guess the new boards come with filter rules that block incoming from wlan port. I never had that problem with boards that came with 4.x ROS.
i even down graded one of my live 711-2hn in the field to 4.17 and it does the same thing. it works fine but you can't ping or telnet to it. i still suspect some setting stayed the same even after I down graded it to 4.17. I need to see what setting is causing this.
I just got my RB711-2Hn and thay are running ROS 5.6. I set them up the usual way. I have my entire network running 4.17 and have good luck with them. With this new board and Ros I am having problems. I can't ping the CPE (711) or telnet or connect with winbox. I don't know if it is the RB711 or the...
I just replaced the Caps on 3 RB411 boards with bad caps (the green/tan ones). Now i have 3 working boards. I plan to burn them in for a while before using them in a working CPE.
i have tried to use radiomoble but can't figure it out. i wish google earth had a way to put tower heights in so the elevation profile would better show the path.
not sure what you are asking. but you can click on interfaces on left side of winbox then click on the radio you want then click on TX power tab at top of winbox. This will show the transmit rate and the output db for each speed.
I have never seen a SXT but understand it is a standard RB type. So standard winbox command should work. if so click on ip on the left side and pick address in the drop down box. click the + sign and enter the ip information. then click on ok. nexy click on ip again and then routes click on add and ...
all 3 of the cap which are tan/green are from a bad lot. if they say 560uf and 6.3 volt and are the tan/green be ready to replace the caps. Microtik says the supplier had counterfeit product and they changed suppliers. the new caps are NOT green/tan. I can't say why they fail but I have a lot of RB4...
what model is the board and how old are they? I have many RB411 and RB433ah that are showing the same thing. I think in my case the caps are bad. are yours green and 6.3 volts and 560 uf. if so that may be your problem too.
Thanks foe the info. Just to clarify. I am look at a new site. A water tower 100' at the catwalk. I thought a panel would be best since the dome of the water tower would seperate the signal from each antenna. So it looks like using a RB433ah with 3 cards and 3 120 degree sectors would be best. Then ...
Thanks for help. I have tried with a solder station and wick and a solder sucker (spring loaded vaccum pump) Even though I have the heat set to full I can't seam to get it hot enough. I did not wan to try a gun because I thought the heat would be too hot and the tips are so big. The tips on the sold...
I always used RB433Ah with 3 radio cards. Usually 1 for 5ghz backhaul, 1 for 2.4 Internet and 1 for 900 Internet. i now want to use sectors in the 2.4 bandwidth. Can you use 2 to 3 antennas on one card say a R52H? What about interference and power loss to the antennas? It would be easier to just rep...
I have the new 6.3 volt 560 uf caps but I am having a hard time getting the old caps out. I use to do board level repair and never had this problem. I guess since I have not done this in a fer years the technique is forgotten.
我是一个newbe。我猜你有当地的国际米兰ference on the B side. Not sure what you are saying about -80 and -100. If you are talking about the noise floor the higher -100 the better. If you are talking about signal strength then -80 and above -100 are not very good signal strength. lower is ...
I have several RB411 with green/tan that are puffed up. But they read 560 uf 6.3 volt they also say SJ on them. What size should I replace them with? All these boards are just over the 1 yr warranty.
what RB are you using. I have several RB411 that are dead. But if you look at the lights they all light up if powered by poe. But they don't boot. no ethernet or console output. But I have one that is dead by POE but works fine if powered by onboard power connector. see if you get any lights and try...
Thanks for the info. when I ping some of the clients the ccq does go up higher. What is a level that should be the minimum and still have good Internet connection?
Why does the signal strength not seem to have no relationship with ccq? I have several customers connected in the 60 to high 70's with ccq in the teens and 20's and some on the same tower with sig strength in the 80's and ccq in the 70's. All are using RB 411 on client and RB 433AH on tower. All are...
Does anyone know where I can get RB fixed? Or where I can get service manuals? My distributer says they don't have any and never heard of it. I hear they are easy to fix but I need schematic's.
I have a RB411 that just quit. After taking it out of the case and testing it I have found it works if the voltage is plugged into the board but I get no power if I use POE. I have tried several power supplies and different cat5 cables. Where can I get service manuals? I know these boards are cheap ...
433 was powered by poe. i have it on the bench now with new ps. ethernet still won't work. my notebook says it is connected at 100 but winbox does not see it. no mac address or ip address shows. serial console works fine.
Does anyone know the status of whitespace in then old TV freq? The FCC back in Sept. 2010 opened the white space up for unlicensed wirless. Does Microtik have any radio cards to use it?
I can't get into the RB with winbox. I can get into part of RB with console cable but it keeps rebooting. that is why i was trying to reload with netinstall
no the closest one is in the same direction (east)as the other 4 that work fine. he is just about 1.5 miles further. the other one is south west about 7 miles out.
I am using a RB433AH with a XR9 card set to 2427. I have 6 clients on that radio. 4 are less than 1 mile from tower (190') and have great speed and db in the -68 range. 2 clients are much farther. 1 is about 3.8 miles and the other is about 7 miles. Both of them had great speed 3 months ago even wit...
we will replace the box on the tower with the Rb433AH tomorrow. I am also going to run a ethernet cable from Ethernet2 to hook up both Rb433AH to each other as a backup. I am playing with it here in the shop. I can't figure out how to bridge the two RB on Ethernet2. The interface show it is connecte...
I read a post yesterday describing some settings on a P2P setup. It mentioned several things like setting HW retries to 14. I can't find the thread to try some of the settings. Does anyone know where the link is or relist the suggestions?
I want to thank everyone for there suggestions. The tower is grounded. The other Rb433AH is on the tower and works fine. Both use direct burial Cat 5e but have no drain wire. I will replace the failing RB433AH board this weekend. I am thinking about drilling a small hole in both cases at the bottom ...
I Just got back from tower site. I power cycled and also left unpowered for a few minutes. The box powers up and the radio works but if the ethernet is down it can communicate with the other RB433AH in the other box on the tower. I have had several problems with Microtik boards Ethernet ports. They ...
The ethernet port is down again. I am going out to the tower and power cycle the Rb433Ah. I hope it fixes it but don't have a lot of hope that it will.
I have a similar question. I have a bunch of NL-2511MP Plus cards and I loved them. But since I upreaded to OS 4.11 they no longer work. I don't want to have to buy R52H cards. I was wondering why they stopped supporting them?
the ethernet port is now working. I have not done anything since it quit. is there a command to see system uptime? I can see wireless users connect time but don't see anything for ethernet uptime.
I wonder why most problems I have had with routerboards is Ethernet port related? I have new (2 months) RB433AH on a 190' tower that is working wirelessly but the ethernet port has stopped working. I have power cycled it several times but the ethernet won't work. I need it to work since it connects ...
I have several towers running RB433AH and 4.11 OS. when I check the size of memory and "hd" I get big differences on some. most show about 60 mb for the HD size and 124 mb ram. But some show 520 mb hd and 124 mb memory.
the voltmonitor script shows 22 times and the voltreport shows 1 i just set them up yesterday. I have not gotten any email yet but i did force one and received it yesterday when i tested it.
I have read there was a problem is OS above 411 so I have not upgraded yet.
thanks I have added several diodes in series and so far all is well. I am NOT getting any email from RB433ah so I have something set up wrong. However I have another tower with RB433ah runing 411 OS. it does not show voltage in system health. all my other tower show voltage usually around 23 volts b...
thanks surfertim I have setup the script and other things like you said. i have test email from RB411 and got it. I will see if voltmonitor works. i went back out to the tower and hooked up rb433 to 12 battery and it is working for now. I sure wanted the 24 volt to work. It did for 5 months with no ...
I have a similar problem. I have a tower that is solar powered. I have 4 12 volt batteries. the voltage is 29.5 voltes and never discharge. I am using a RB433ah with 4.11 os. It has been working since September fine. today it died. I have 28+ volts coming from the batteries. I tried hooking to ac so...
no the antenna and cables have been on for a few months. the 5ghz backhaul works fine only the 2 2.4 ghz have problems. it seem to occure about every 10-15 minutes. I wanted to attach a screen shot but can't figure out how to copy it to this post.
I had not done anything before the problem started. Since then I have upgraded the RB433AH from 3.30 to 4.11 and all the clients to 4.11. It did not help.
I have a existing Tower that has been in service several years. I have a RB433AH with 3 R52 cards. 2 are used for 2.4 wireless AP Bridge and 1 is 5ghz backhaul. I am having problems with the 2.4's. the signal strength usually is in the 70 to low 80's. the floor use to be 95 to 100. I the last 2 mont...
I have just set up a remote site using RB433AH on both ends and rh52 cards. I am using 5260 as the freq. using the tools it is a clear channel. I have a -52 signal strength on both ends. BUT the TX/RX rate is 54mps 6mps I need to figure out why the receive is so low on the remote site. with just 6 m...
We have always set the bandwidth in simple queue the same up and down for each customer according to speed they bought. my Competitors have split speeds like 512k down and 128k up. does setting the upload speed lower really save bandwidth on the backhaul? I have 10 mb and want to see if lowering spe...
I have several RB 200 r3 boards and want to upgrade OS to 3.30. Most are running 2.8.24. I tried to drag 3.30 to the files folder but it would not let me. I down loaded the 3.30 from MikroTik I could not find an earlier version. Do you upgrade the older RB200 differently than the newer 100,400 or 50...
I need to Clarify the above post. The tower is my original tower. The 532 is old but the 411 was just put up this month. the 532 has 3 wireles cards two for 5 gh backhauls and 1 for 2.4 gh for customers. The 411 is used for 900 mh with an XR9 card. It is hooked up to the 532 by way of the poe on bot...
I need help on a new tower. I have a old tower using a 532 current firmware 2.8 upgradeable to 2.9 the version on winbox shows 2.9.46 I have it connected with an Ethernet cable running down the tower to a switch and back up the tower to a RB411a with an XR9 card in it. it's version is 3.22 on winbox...
I have several Microtik access points most are RB433ah and a few RB532. I want a way to save the configurations so i can reporgram a replacement when one of them dies. The way I have to do it now is take screen shots from the winbox and print it out. I hope there is a way to save the configuration a...
I need to set user bandwidth I do it by setting it in a simple queue on the RB\433 we use as access points. I can set any speed up to 1 M but there is no setting higher other than 2 M.
