Hey guys.. currently i have a mikrotik RB750g3 as my main router at home. I currently have 2 WAPs serving wifi for my house. And i also have a guest network served via a seperate vlan. One of the AP broadcasts the guest wlan and dhcp is all handled by the Mikrotik.

My question is if its ok to leave as it or should just utilize the guest network feature on the AP instead and let that AP handle the dhcp assignments etc for the guest network? Any downsides to doing this?

Hi, is it possible to install plugins with mikrotik router running openwrt?
Need network wide adblock badly...

Not answering your question directly since i am not familiar with plugins on mikrotik, but wouldnt having a seperate device running pihole be easier? I currently have an old raspi (ver 1) running pihole and zerotier. That way i have the adblock everywhere (at home and outside).

I think it is about time you redo your VLAN config. Multiple bridges is so 5 years ago. One bridge to rule them all.

Oh I have mine similarly configured - multiple bridge for VLANs. Any good reading links you recommend? icon_question.gif

People, I got TM VoIP working on Android phone again.
This is despite they closed the loophole by simply disabling VLAN 400 from being forwarded to LAN 1.

The technique is simple, and works even better than last time because we no longer need to dstnat to the Android phone.
The reason is because it was double NAT. Once on the Mikrotik, the second time on the ONU. Yes, the ONU actually perform NAT on the VoIP VLAN.

First add 2 static route in the ONU. Assuming:
192.168.88.0/24 = Your daily usage network
192.168.1.1 = ONU IP Address
192.168.1.10 = Router IP Address

If your setup is different, adjust accordingly. Here is the screenshot of the ONU static routing

After you are done, add a static route to your router. It will work on any router this time since no NAT is required.

Android phone configuration unchanged. Just make call.

it is even better now. If you can VPN home, you can make call via TM number. Previously this cannot be done due to the need for dstnat.

If I add a static route coming from the ONU to MikroTik don't I have to allow the address of the ONU in the firewall since all packets not coming from WAN is dropped unless specified?

I'm trying to set up a FreePBX trunk with the VOIP.. so far I tried to forward the VLAN400 to my FreePBX instance but that obviously did not work sweat.gif

CODE
Add a NAT rule. Chain=srcnat. Out Interface=voip. Action=masquerade

Is this srcnat rule still required with your current setup?

Forwarding VLAN 400 no longer works because TM no longer tag it.
No, the NAT rule is no longer required because we are doing pure routing.
Technically when you add a static route to both the ONU and your Mikrotik, it is not on WAN Interface List, unless you annotate it that way. If so, then you need to adjust your firewall rules accordingly.
The reason is your PPPoE is the WAN link. But the native VLAN of the port itself is not a WAN link.

I have since updated my static route setting by not specifying the default gateway. Reason is I noticed they do change and render the route invalid. Specifying the interface is enough for it to work. Also note my route for Wireguard.

I understand what you mean by not being on the WAN interface and to change the config if it is. i.e. remove eth 1 as being on the WAN, set the PPPoE as the only WAN.

sorry a bit more question:
1. since it's no longer a tagged VLAN that means VOIP is untagged coming out of the eth port from the ONU? But without DHCP and hence we need to manually set up the ip address on the mikrotik?
2. what would the config be on the mikrotik? Does it need to be connected to the bridge? Do I assign an address to the eth port? I think I am now a bit more confused thinking about it.
