Strange routerboard behavoir
by Paul Julian 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hi guys, we have a large hotspot site which is doing some funny things and I was just wondering if anybody may have seen similar behaviour before. We have a 5Ghz backhaul network which runs flawlessly, running with a mix of SXT's and Omnitiks from a central AP out to a number of CPE's. Off the back of each CPE we run a 411 with a 2.4Ghz radio in it and an omni antenna, plugged into ether1 on each device. What happens sometimes is that we lose sight of the AP connected to a CPE, we can't ping it, however the AP shows in the neighbours list on the CPE and the Ethernet port shows as running, for all intents and purposes everything looks fine, however when you try to telnet from the CPE to the AP you can't connect, when you try and mac-telnet from the CPE to the AP it disconnects and doesn't work. After a varying period of time the connection just starts working again, the uptime of the AP is normal, i.e. it hasn't lost power or rebooted and everything just works OK....until the next time which could be hours or days, no pattern seems to exist. Has anybody encountered such issues before at all ? I have so far replaced the Ethernet joiner between the radios and also replaced the power pack and POE injectors which feed the radios. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Paul

BFD + OSPF + ROS and BFD + BGP + ROS
by Alex Samad - Yieldbroker 01 Feb '15

Hi I have asked this question on the forums but got no reply I want to run BFD and OSPF together. I have a few routers that have multiple legs of OSPF, but I can't run BFD on some legs, because I have some legacy cisco equipment that doesn't do BFD (ASA5520 8.5). Can I limit BFD to specific legs of OSPF determined network interface Can I limit BFD support on BGP by specific peers even if I have multiple peers on the same interface, last one can I have multiple BGP + BFD peers on the same interface ???

Why not just get a mAP-2n, an RB951G-2HnD or an RB951Ui-2HnD? All of those models have ethernet so you can attach your existing RB951, all of them have USB so you can use a 3G/4G dongle in them (though you can do that already with your existing RB951), and they all have wifi, so they can associate with the hotel wifi or with your Telstra 4G puck. Not sure about the mAP-2n, but it might even be able to power your existing RB951, in which case only one plug-pack would be needed. Plus, when you are not actually hotelling, you have a general-purpose router available for doing all sorts of things with - not just a single-purpose wifi dongle. All that said, I'd still like to hear how you go with adding a wifi interface via a dongle, if that's how you choose to go. In particular, can you use them as access points, or only as clients?

RouterOS USB Wifi support?
by Damien Gardner Jnr 27 Dec '14

Hi Folks, Away for christmas at the moment, took an RB951 with us, and have REALLY enjoyed having it plugged into the iinet cable at the apartment we've stayed in for the week. It comes up on one of our SSID's from home, brings up an encrypted PPTP tunnel back to our home network and routes all traffic across it (not bad either, tunnel from ballarat to Syd, it only dropped the 50/2 iiNet cable to 45/1.8, so the PPTP isn't adding much overhead) - means no reconfiguring all our devices, and everything is still nice and private. Got me thinking I want to use this any time we go away - but most places we stay only have Wifi available, not ethernet. And the RB951 only has one radio interface. Any suggestions of USB Wifi adapters which might be available which work with RouterOS? (That way I can also have it connect to our telstra 4g hockey puck when we're not using hotel wifi) I had a look in the Wiki, but it doesn't mention much for usb Wifi.

Windows7 crazyness
by Daniel Hoffman 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

Hi All. I have a RB2011 running an ADSL link via PPPOE and the modem in bridge mode. I have 4 macs, handful of Linux machines and androids all on the network. All working fine. I have one windows machine that has full speed local LAN but almost no internet less than 1k. I put this down to MTU but my mss adjust is in and working. I am able to browse fine if I use the web proxy in the RB but that's not a solution. All other machine/devices just work. I've tried lowering the mtu on windows, adjusting and tweaking the mss mangle rule but nothing has worked. Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts? Sent from my iPhone

wifi interference - solutions?
by Karl Auer 22 Dec '14

22 Dec '14

Dunno if this list accepts attachments, but if it does, a scan and a spectral-scan are attached. The scan shows senders on 2412, 2417, 2427, 2437, 2457 and 2462. The spectral-scan shows - well actually I'm not sure what it shows :-) What's the best way for me to get decent wifi for people associating with this router? At the moment, it's pretty patchy. I was thinking maybe change to a 10MHz channel width and aim for one of the channels not seen, like 2452, but I don't really know what I'm talking about so was hoping for a clue from someone more, er, clueful.

Is the RouterOS Trial limited to 1 physical Interface?
by Damien Gardner Jnr 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Hi Folks, Wanted to save a drive to Sydney, so thought I'd just install up RouterOS in a VM in XenServer, then if it worked, buy a license. (Otherwise it'll be a drive to install an RB951). Having an issue though, I just can't get it to see more than one interface. Is that a limitation of an unlicensed install, or is it RouterOS not liking XenServer?
