Tqvm for sharing

I think i got this issue with maxishit fibre

set the asus as AP mode,SSID and password, n u r set,

mikrotik u dont need to configure any wireless setting

Hi all i have issue connecting to tm using the mikrotik hexS. I followed the step by step guide to setup mikrotik for tmunifi

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Mikrotik_and...y_arpee/soonwai

Below is my topology:
Modem > hexS > laptop

These are the steps i did
1. Plugged wan cable to port 1
2. Via quick set configured ppoe - username/password
3. Set vlan500 to interface 1
4. Set ppoe-out1 to vlan500

By now the guide said i should have internet. It didnt... I checked the logs it shows the router trying to connect and disconnect immediately. Im not sure how to furthee trace...

So right now i revert back to the unifi router they gave me. Not sure which part i missed out..

lol that page is incomplete! Many people buy mikrotik router before even study the setup first...

You have to set Firewall -- nat rules . You also need to set dns settings.

Please follow this https://klseet.com/213-tm-unifi/unifi-mikro...setup-for-unifi

The setup are similar since all mikrotik router use same routerOS.

Ignore the masterport settings , since mikrotik removed masterport and slave port since routerOS 6.41 in Dec 2017

Yeah, i find the quick setup guide not working for me for my 2nd mikrotik (hap ac2) . I end up going back to my notes (from klseet also), and make some amendment due to changes in some setting after so many years. And it work again.

Tq masta... I have many more to learn.

Hi all,

Need your advice.
Currently using Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN.

Upgraded to turbo 800mbps . Plan to replace my route to

1. RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN
or
2. Asus AC5300 china set

which one you guys would recommend.

my priority is wifi coverage & speed

I will vote for no 1

For AP you can use Mesh AP :-)

Or use Amplifi HD instead

from my research my old mikrotik router have better 2.4ghz dbi compared to RB4011. furthermore it have internal wifi antenna. im afraid the coverage will not be as good as before.

I have experience 2 pcs of RT-AC5300, from taobao Asus 旗舰店。Both end up wifi issues, sometimes just dont response to connection. This particular model only. Others like RT-AC88U, RT-AC68U from Asus 旗舰店 still function till today.

thanks for the input bro. have u tested ac86u?

Tested for ? 800mbps?

I don't have 800mbps , I am using 300 mbps only. 300mbps makes me download things/movies till nothing to download RM139 package , cheap what..


If you meant testing and using AC68U, then yes, it is still in very good condition. I have too many routers to take turn...so seldom revive it back nowadays

Managed to get it working? The guide kinda works. Just have to make sure "use-peer-dns" is checked. There's also one here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4202122/all

The one on Mikrotik's wiki won't/can't be updated since Mikrotik disabled non-staff access to it.

Assuming you used QuickSet, a few things to note. I'll update the guide one of these days.
1. As mhwee said, ignore the master/slave stuff.
2. If you're getting connect/disconnect, check that you have set vlan500 interface vlan-id to 500. Common oversight.
3. Incorrect username/password will also cause this, log shows auth error, but I'm sure no-one here will make that mistake.
4. In pppoe-client, check use-peer-dns. Previously default was checked but not anymore.

So:
1. If you did #4, you don't need to set DNS.
2. If you used QuickSet, the correct NAT (srcnat) rule will be set.
3. If you didn't use QuickSet, make sure you have proper firewall rules to the input chain. A common result of not having these is that your router will be participating in a DNS or other amplification attack in a matter of hours or days.

I'd choose the RB4011 as a router only + a cheap wifi AP. Currently I'm using an RM149 Aztech FG7008GR which is basically 5HacQ2HnT.

Am able to get sustained 850Mbps using 3-chain wifi to LAN locally. Dun have a 4-chain device.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4543383/all

The sustained 850Mbps using 3 chain wifi is from aztech touter?

Yeah, using the Aztech router. MBP shows link speed as 1300Mbps ie: 433x3
Unfortunately the Aztech can't see any link info.

MBP <--wifi--> Aztech <--Gbe--> Server

Mind you, it's just an artificial iperf3 test.

Hi soonwai

I followed your steps in the post. Checking the logs i can see the unifi is authenticated and connected. But im not getting data thru. Its very strange, i did a ping to the gateway x.x.88.1 is responsive but when ping to google or major site.. seems like no data is coming out.

I left the firewall rules as the default configuration. Could it be dhcp?

When i checked the peer dns. It auto assigned the default unifi dns
And the nat is masquerade and bind to the unifi-internet interface

By now the laptop at port 2 should have access to internet. But its not so.

Can you post "/export compact hide-sensitive" ? Just dump the whole thing , it's not too long. Remove any sensitive info. No need to do any guesswork if you can do this.

Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from PC? If no, probably masq is set wrongly.

Can you dig or nslookup google.com and get an IP address? If no, maybe DNS set wrongly.

As for DHCP, is your PC getting the correct ip, mask, router ip and DNS? DNS should be the router.

Since you were having prob earlier, did you start from scratch? 1. Reset to defaults 2. Use Quickset for initial settings?
