State of 3G/4G fallback on MikroTik?
by Karl Auer 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

We need to quote to a client for two routers capable of running a VPN between two sites - easy, that's a MikroTik. But they want a fallback to 3G/4G so that the site that falls back keeps Internet access AND so that the VPN keeps running. What's the state of MikroTik 3G/4G fallback? Last I looked it seemed very roll-your-own, and supported only a few very specific dongles... Ideally it would work like the (vastly more expensive) Merakis and just fail everything over to the secondary link if the primary fails, where "fail" would be either a ping test or interface down. That said, I'm OK with a solution that needs more work, as long as once done it is set-and-forget. Any pointers?

Axiom Cyber Shield
by Philip Loenneker 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

Hi all, After seeing their presentation at the Melbourne MUM, we've been having a look at Axiom Cyber Shield. Is anyone on here using it and happy to provide some feedback, on-list or off-list? It certainly sounds like a good product, but I only seem to be able to find sales pitch information, not unbiased reviews.

Perhaps try winbox> terminal then: /system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes and start from scratch. You can copy and paste sections of your config to make the rebuild faster if it helps.

Roger, If you want to play around and do some “lab” experiments you might want to try an EC-25 modem in your lte mikrotik unit instead. Be aware that whilst the EC-25 and your desired Mikrotik LTE unit are licensed for use independently when combined they are not. I’ve mucked around a little with this so if you want some info feel free to get in touch. You’ll need to communicate directly with the modem via the at chat protocol to lock it to band 28. You can do that via the command line within one box or via ssh.

CCR 1036 PSU
by Andrew Gilbett 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Hi Brains Trust, I have a CCR 1036-12G-4S whose psu has gone on the fritz. From What I can tell it is a 24V 4A Supply. I have a CCR1016-12S-1S+ It appears that there is a minor revision between the part numbers, as per Duxtel's website. WT2400400R3 -CCR1016 WT2400400-R6 -CCR1036 Does anyone know what the differences are and whether I can swap it out with the 1016 psu as a temp solution.... I got the 1036 going again so its back in service so looking under the hood is a little risky atm and I have a few minutes to peacefully come up with another solution :-) Any thoughts would be appreciated. Regards Andrew

LTE6 and B8 and B28
by Jason Hecker 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Has anyone managed to get any of the LTE6/CAT6 Mikrotik routers working on B8 (900MHz)? I have an LTE6 dish to try out but doesn't do B28 (700Mhz) and all the towers I want to try it in this remote location only have B28 (Optus and Telstra). The Chateau of course does B28 just fine, but it's not in a dish. :) There is one tower in the region with B8 proposed but not yet operational according to RFNSA's site. The LTE6 stuff is a bit strange, they support B17 which is 700MHz (and not used in Australia) as well but can't seem to do B28. I did try the Chateau in another remote location connected to a dual-cable directional roof antenna set up for a Telstra B618 and it Speedtested a stonking 129Mbit at 18km range. It used B3 (20MHz) with CA of B3 (10MHz) and B7 (20MHz) on Optus. Telstra only worked on B28 with 32Mbit tests which is a bit faster than the B618.
