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?

Updated Firmware for the Proscend 180T SFP VDSL2 Modems?
by Damien Gardner Jnr 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Does anyone know if there is an Updated firmware available for the Metanoia/Proscend VDSL SFP's? There is a note from NBNCo relating to them being made unusable in the next three months due to incompatibility with new features being enabled on FTTN DSLAM ports. THe note seems to suggest by 'older' firmware that maybe there is a newer firmware available? Anyone know? Would be nice if I could keep using mine :) "A Metanoia SFP device with older firmware failed to negotiate synchronization at all once SOS and ROC was enabled on the DSLAM port. RSPs with services identified with these devices (approximately 700 network wide) will be notified to coordinate an update or replacement of these devices before network SOS/ROC deployment occurs."
