If you can ping 8.8.8.8 then routing should be OK. Maybe DNS problems? Can you ping, say, bbc.com (or choose a website that you haven't been to before) from your PC?

I don't use Astro IPTV but I believe it uses vlan 823. That's all I know, sorry. Maybe try setup like HyppTV but use 823 instead of 600.

What are you trying to achieve actually?

It's correct, for 192.168.0.0/23 network, address range is 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.1.254.

Don't remember exactly what the defaults are but bridge-local is typically used to bridge the 2 switches and the wlan on the RB2011UaS-2HnD. That's how mine is configured (everything is on the same network). Except ether1 which is my wan port and ether10 is for iptv.

This is what I do to monitor traffic for an IP address.



You will need to know the IP address that you want to monitor which you may be able to discern from the DHCP Lease table if static IPs aren't allowed.
I have rules for 10.0.1.2-10.0.1.254 but they're disabled until I need to look at them. Having all the rules enabled increases CPU usage significantly.

Another way is to enable /ip traffic-flow and use a Netflow client on your PC to observe.

192.168.1.0/23 is an IP address not a network. The network for 192.168.1.0/23 is 192.168.0.0/23, range is 192.168.0.1-192.168.1.254 (which includes 192.168.0.255 and 192.168.1.0).

If you want 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254, the correct network is 192.168.1.0/24.

For DNS, just set use-peer-dns=no for your pppoe-client and it won't use TM's DNS.

You can use 192.168.2.0/23 for 192.168.2.1-.3.254. That'll give you the same size network.

When your mask is 23, you can't use 192.168.1.0/23 as a network because the first bit of your 3rd octet is not in your mask. In other words, you can't use an odd value for your 3rd octet.

When in doubt, check with ipcalc.

As for use-peer-dns, did you reboot the router after disabling it? I'm quite sure that works here. I have it disabled for ipv4 and enabled for ipv6 and getting only the ipv6 DNS from TM.

From the ROS terminal:

Disable this and see what happens.

/ip firewall nat
add chain=dstnat comment="Web Port Forwarding" dst-port=80 in-interface=bridge1-local protocol=tcp

or change your webfig port to something else, maybe 8080.

Just got my Unifi 30mb activated. RB2011UAS. Speedtest from dining room, middle of the house downstairs,. Router is located at the back room upstairs next to the back window. Distance about 25 feet diagonally through floor and walls. House is 20x67 terrace intermediate. Not too bad, I guess. Hopefully it'll give you an idea of the Mikrotik's wifi performance but if you're living in a mansion then all bets are off. :-)


Dining Room

And a few more tests.

Living Room (Sitting on sofa, it's faster if I stand up)


At the gate outside the house.

Haven't speedtested upstairs but the worst is the front toilet which has 3 walls between the router and where I sit. :-)

Surrounded by wifi. Back of the house is not the best place to locate an access point. The -54 is my neighbour's router which is practically right next to my router but on the ground floor.


Even more tests


Stock TM RG4332. Tested with neighbours router. About 7 ft from router separated by one wall.


Speedtest Ethernet

Mine's the other way round, router upstairs to downstairs, 30mb no prob. I think mine would be better if I had located the router in a more central position but as things are, it's at the back of the house. The RB2011 that I'm using has external antennas though I don't know how much of a difference that actually makes. You're using RB951 right?

I'm using 500mbps Powerline from Aztech to run HyppTV from my router down to the TV. If your house is single phase electricity, should be no prob. I did a speedtest for the powerline when I first set it up and the speeds were very good. I didn't save the test results but I think I got around 300mbps.

Guys, I'm thinking of adding 5Ghz wifi. What do you think are the best options for Access Points?

I guess my requirements would be:
1) Not too pricey. Say budget RM300.
2) 5Ghz (doesn't have to be dual-band)
3) AC preferred but at least N
4) GB Ethernet

So far, I've found:

DLink DAP-1665: around 280, fulfills all my reqs.

Xiaomi Mini Router: around 110, so cheap! Biggest con is it only has 100mb Ethernet.

Mikrotik/UBNT: not sure what's available locally.

Thanks very much man, made the purchase. Never heard of Gemfive before this. Came up to about RM200 after the discount. Awesome deal. The cheapest I could get from LYP was RM260. TT on me if we ever meet-up IRL.

I also asked about the UAP-AC-Lite, MX510 here quoted me RM510+GST. Where did you find it for 450+? Landasan.com.my has the Groove or GrooveA 52HPn for RM400 but it's not AC. Hopefully Mikrotik will come up with cheap cAP 5N. The cAP 2N is only USD50.

Thanks for the info. Will bookmark uwave for future ref. The DAP-1665 shipped today from Gemfive. Can't wait to give it a try.

Update: Received the DAP1665 this noon (4/12). Just in time to try it out this weekend.

Configured my new DLink DAP-1665 for 5GHz N & AC and added it to my home network. working well so far. It's at the opposite end of my RB2011UAS-2HnD so the whole house should be well covered now. Some quick tests giving me about 250mbps from iPhone 6S to my Mac.

Mine is set as access point connected to my gigabit switch. Fortunately I have a network port in the living room.

So far 5ghz downstairs coverage is good. once I go upstairs, signal drops and my phone usually but not always will switch to 2.4ghz.

Update: iTunes WiFi Sync is a lot faster.

Seems to be working well.

Pros:
Supports Unicode for Wifi SSID.
It works for 5GHz. PC, Apple devices no probs.

Cons:
No SNMP.
Status page for Wifi connections does not show connection protocol nor speed.
Unit a bit big for what it does. Wish it was smaller.
Transmit power not that high.
Has to reboot after almost every freaking change.

Conclusion
Real cheap way to add 5GHz AC to your network.

Competitors:
Xioami Mini: Half the price. Dual-band, AC but 100mbps LAN.
Airport Express: Almost the same price. Dual-band but N only & 100mbps LAN.
UBNT UAP-AC-Lite: Double the price but awesome.

There're a few WTS here for the Xiaomi Mini at RM120 but its LAN port is only fast ethernet.

IMHo, the best option for now with a Gigabit ethernet port is the DLink DAP-1665 RM278 on gemfive.com.my with a 30% discount = RM195.

I'm sure they'll come out with an RB952G-5ac2nD or maybe an RB2012UiaS-5ac2nD. Wishful thinking.

I registered but not 100% sure going or not yet. Though if I'm going, will probably cough up the USD30 for the ROS license and lunch. Worth it right?

Xiaomi Mini is good value. I was considering it when I was looking for an AC AP but the fast Ethernet port is no good if you're planning to transfer stuff from a PC. Same goes for the RB952U-5ac2nd.

The RB3000 series looks awesome 10xGb ports n USB3 but is the 1GB ram a typo? That's crazy. The RB2011 had only 128mb. That's a big jump. Not that I mind but price will probly be high.

License given at the MUM is L4 which normally sells for USD45.



But this one only 2.4Ghz, if 5Ghz should be:
RB3011UiAS-5acHnD or
RB3012UiAS-5ac2HnD

or preferably RB3012UiAS-5HacD2HnD
