So all they do is test if it boots with the firmware? Testing only "on a stick" is pretty useless.

Or just use some WiFi scanning app to see how lovely the WiFi frequencies are and set your AP on the cleanest channel. 5ghz should give you choices here.

They appear to have listed 1506 as MTU in their wiki

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Maximum_Transmission_Unit_on_RouterBoards

With a faster-ish CPU and 512MB of RAM it seems like it would make a better SLA or monitoring device since it does have a serial port and temperature sensor. Toss one somewhere and maybe run Dude on it or something.

You're probably joking a bit, but that's not right at all.

With Cisco and Juniper you stick with the same OS train and only get bug fixes, not features. Sure there's the occasionally bug introduced mid train but overwhelmingly it's bug fixes.

RouterOS just does whatever they want and won't offer support unless you're on the latest version, which is always broken in numerous fun ways.

I need to learn IPv6 sometime but dear god do I want to keep putting it off forever.
Go do he.net ipv6 certification thing. Much of it is a borderline joke but if you want to reach 'sage' level (free t-shirt zomg) at least it forces you to do lots of v6 things that are useful In practice.

You have to have two radios in a router if you want to have it be an AP and also bridge back to another.

The amount of bugs they have is incredible. I will presume there are still that list *100.

So, I adjusted my P2P link with 2 RB SXT G-5HPacD units over 500ish feet and set the TX gain to 17(which btw am I going to hurt something?) . NV2.. achieved 80-90MB/s sustained throughput or basically 800-866mbps over 2 windows file servers realtime file transfer. Frankly my face just fell off and flew away. I had no clue this stuff was possible now. TX/RX CCQ on my end is 93/99% baby, 45db signal.

You can probably turn the tx down as low as possible (below 0) and still get a good rate. You likely want to mess with the channel width at 30 or 40mhz too if you haven't already.

Anything in the 50db range is good. The lower signal with good rate will work just as well or better and won't be blasting the airwaves with unnecessary signal.

Yeah there's a Champion One CWDM mux off to the side, so likely a few CWDM optics into the channels, then line side out of mux.

I haven't used Mikrotik in years, but chimed in on a thread / opened a ticket for an ospf3 bug back in 2011 which effectively makes it impossible to setup IBGP ospf3 with loopback addressing. Anyway, this thread inspired me to see if it's fixed yet

https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=51124

.. of course it's not.


Also, anyone remember that time that RouterOS caused a significant internet outage because the OS allowed some Czech provider to prepend 47868 times?

Are you vlan tagging management network? If so they're probably native ips now.

Add a secondary IP to your machine on that subnet and connect to it.

Although I thought the Mac telnet stuff on tik worked in these situations. Are you going to the correct mac?

One has vlan tags on the ips, the other doesn't.

P sure a bug reported >6 years ago still exists where ospf3 won't install a /128 loopback address making your igp useless anyway.
