anyone can guide how to make setup pihole as DNS server in mikrotik device ?

Hi Sifu, I used to use pfsense for more that 10 years. But I am going to turn off my VM to reduce energy usage.
Please recommend me an entry-level of Mikrotik router to achieve function below. I am subscribing to 300Mbps Tm UniFi.

1. Site-to-Site VPN to Surfshark with destination route for certain websites via the VPN tunnel.
2. Road warrior VPN, prefer OpenVPN/Wireguard.
3. Block access to certain websites at certain hour.
4. Working well with TP-Link Deco X20 AP Mode.
5. VLAN separation for IoT/Security devices.

Thank you. 

What is your budget? If below rm1k then get the latest new model RB5009 equipped with 10Gbps SFP+ FTW. Otherwise you can get a hEX S, or hAP ac2 or hAP ac3. But it would be a waste since you already got your own Deco AP, get an RB5009 instead it is using native RouterOS v7 already and support WireGuard and ZeroTier also!

Why would you use DHCPv6? Isn't unifi provide IPv6 using stateless SLAAC mode?

Getting RB5009 soon. Later I check how to configure IPv6 or why it doesn’t work. I also follow the guides previously posted.

Anybody know where I can get RB5009 rackmounting kit (K-79).  I asked Subtel but they were showing me the wall mount plugs that came in the box....

I also don't see any in Synchroweb.

Hi. I am new here... just recently got a RB5009.

So far all wonderful, got it working and network runs well.

Only thing I dont get to work somehow is ipv6 with Time Internet.

I get an ipv6 from Time, however my clients dont get an ipv6 and cant connect to any ipv6-address on WAN.

I looked for some kind of tutorial for setting this up, can someone hint me into the right direction or even give me simple instructions?

Would be very much appreciated.

Home use. Wireless feature unnecessary as I wire-backhaul to 2 Deco M9 Plus.

I am looking into automated failover from primary (1) Unifi (dial out PPPoE) to secondary (2) Huawei B618.

Questions:

(1) I see all Mikrotik 5-port routers have dedicated 1-port WAN. Does this mean I cannot use additional port (s) to achieve multi-WAN?

(2) Mikrotik routers can handle fibre vlan? (already have tp-link vlan switch to (un)tag vlan500 if necessary)

(3) Mikrotik routers can handle DHCPv4? DHCPv6 and/or similar?

(4) Mikrotik routers can do DDNS to any provider? (i use cloudns)

(5) Mikrotik routers have firewall to prevent intrusion from outside?

(6) Mikrotik have access to command line? Is it linux? Can install packages? to run any command?

(7)n Which Mikrotik router is capable of handling 1Gbps fibre? (for future-proof). The Hex?
(w/ tp-link vlan switch, i was already able to use huawei b618 to prioritise  dial to unifi and failover to lte-a network. however i was disappointed that the gigabit wan and lan port on b618 was only able to max 171Mbps regardless fibre or lte-a. all cables used during test are CAT6e. replacing b618 back to tm-supplied router was able to get back ~500Mbps as subscribed, so test wasn't influenced by wifi speed.)

anyone already try RouterOS 7.1 stable release?
Or better stay at LTS 6.48.6

btw, i want to upgrade my old rb2011, is hex good enough for 800Mbps without enabling fasttack?
this rb2011 cannot get full speed without enabling fasttrack, maybe because hardware too old already 

sorry interject here, since my RB3011 died because of port flop, plan to buy RB5009 but out of stock, so I bought ER-12 while waiting RB5009 become available

Which CCR are you recommend?

CR2004-1G-12S+2XS is good?

I like to use SFP XPON ONU Stick, some router have compatibility issue.

not really, but doing 10GbE networking is nice tho, 1GbE hardly over-saturated SSD NAS.

Indeed SFP run hot even SFP XPON ONU can reach 61°C, Realtek SoC + Laser is very hot, pumping ~3dB back to TM OLT,

quadcube Gaara92

Yesterday I went and buy RB5009
[attachmentid=11106066]

after finish configure
[attachmentid=11106067]

that USB cable is Maxis 4G Dongle

problem with 7.x DCHPv6-PD not working, it keep searching...

Thing I have tried


both not work, someone said downgrade to v6.49.4, I not tried it yet

RB 5009 very hot when operating. Is this normal?

Hi... im using Hap ac2, dun have any idea to apply ipv6 public and private ip?

no idea to setting...but still stuck at ipv4 public.. and didnt found to fast track ipv6
