I don't think so but the only temp I can monitor on the ax3 is CPU temp and that's around 50-59c. Load 0-5%. It's not routing, just basic AP config and 2 containers.

The wifi problem happens both AM and PM so I think not temp related. Will continue to monitor.

Update:
Not related to the wifi hanging but I noticed that with my ceiling fan on, hAP ax3 temp is 50C. Celing fan off, 59C.

Will do once I figure out how to backup the ax3 and its containers & data.

But I only Unifi 800/200 so that's the max I can test. The only pppoe server I have is on a tiny mAP Lite.

Wanted to change my hap ac2 router which have been very good to me.Have not decide yet to use mikrotik from end to end exclusively or getting other brand WIFI AP.Been eyeing on wifi 6e ap for less noise.

hAP ax3 is really hopeless. Wifi keeps hanging. Later check if I did anything stupid in the config but as far I remember, mostly defaults.

I have ac2 also. Was using before I changed to Deco x20 and then ax3. Now the ac2 just running as switch and The Dude server.

My hapAC2 working great however i disable the wifi inside it and it's running 24/7 no issues at all.

I use Huawei AX3 Pro as WiFi AP connected to this router

Was thinking to change to HAPAC3

yah why Mikrotik wifi but speed sure slower than consumer stuff

how about Ubiquiti Access Point Wifi i doubt wifi speed slower then consumer brand tp link asus etc wifi speed faster

No wor, ax3 faster a bit than Deco x20. But 1 ax3 = 1 x20 2-pack with a lot of change..

Actually ax2 is a fairer comparison with x20. ax2 specs closer to x20. Price still bit more expensive. Anyway ax2 oos forced me to buy ax3 but now I'm glad that happened. I really like ax3 because got USB port for thumbdrive to run containers. The container feature is really good. Especially because I don't have Raspi or other device running 24/7.

Can't say anything about Asus or Ubiquiti which I don't use.

What thumbdrive you are using?

I was thinking to get a ssd to play with containers on RB5009. (Although i have a RPi 4 running 24/7 too)
Because pendrive is not design for long operating time,and the overall performance and life cycle is lower than ssd.

I’m using Sandisk Ultra Dual Drives. 2 older models with the white and clear casing instead of the current black one. I almost never use these so may as well stick it somewhere. I got too many thumbdrives.

64GB on the ax3 (containers and logs)
32GB on the RB5009 (just logs)

Also the ac2 has a Kingston USB2 2GB.

Mikrotik 2011 replacement

Hi guys, I tried to setup pihole on my Mikrotik, everything done according to this link.

https://www.bgocloud.com/knowledgebase/76/h...kroTik%20router.

However, I'm not able to access to PiHole admin page.

As I have two bridges, could it be due to the 2 bridges I created?

My bridge:
Bridge1
-> consists all ethernets interface (eth2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7 ,8 ,9)
-> gateway 192.168.0.1

dockers
-> setup for pihole (veth)
-> ip 10.0.0.2
->gateway 10.0.0.1

I did configure dstnat 192.168.0.1 port 4443 to 10.0.0.2 port 80.


Could anyone advise how to set it up correctly please? I tried to search around google but no luck to find anything.

You need srcnat masquerade rule for the container subnet.

See here. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/...r-Createnetwork

Can you Ping the container bridge? Can you Ping the veth?

Alternatively, which is what I do, just put your container veths on your existing subnet, no need for another bridge or subnet.

Thank you for the link. I'm able to ping the bridge but not the veth using console in WinBox.

Now I have configured my container veth on my existing subnet, but still no luck to access admin panel.
I checked the link that you provided, I did the same as the link except I configured container veth on existing subnet.
Besides that, at first I thought my firewall rules blocked it but I tried disabled all the rules and try again, no luck as well.

For your ori setup, did you add the veth to the container bridge?

Easier if you just post /export.

Yes, I did add veth to the container bridge.

Sure thing,

Here you go - sorry I cannot upload the whole command here, lyn keep stopping me to post

Can you remove this and try again. I had a quick look and the container config looks ok.
/ip firewall nat add action=masquerade chain=srcnat src-address=192.168.0.0/24

You only need the 2nd masq rule if you have a separate subnet for the containers.

At first I removed that masquerade NAT rules, but its still not able to work. I redo everything and restart it and it works for now. Thank you for the help.

No problem. Glad you got it working.

Dammit, I think my RB5009UG ether1 port dieded. Still troubleshooting.

how possible easy died port 1

i know Mikrotik router look like Enterprise router not Consumer router

i shock easy died Port

i don't know how quality other brand ubiquiti
