You mentioned Telkom and Cool ideas so not sure what service you have, however telkom on openserve works with the default pppoe settings.

Thanks for this - was using a Cool Ideas test account to see if the issue was with Telkom Internet or with my line/hardware.

If you never came right this should be all you need to test

Code: 
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] name=GPON
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] name=Local
/interface pppoe-client
add add-default-route=yes disabled=no interface=GPON use-peer-dns=yes keepalive-timeout=60 name=TelkomPPPoE [email protected]
/ip pool
add name=dhcp_pool1 ranges=172.16.8.200-172.16.8.254
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp_pool1 authoritative=after-2sec-delay interface=Local lease-time=12h name=dhcp1
/ip address
add address=172.16.8.1/24 interface=Local network=172.16.8.0
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=TelkomPPPoE

Thanks so much...

What is your max MTU value set at?
 
yogidabear said:
Its not set, and defaults to an actual of 1492. You can add this in the pppoe client but its not necessary max-mtu=1492

Thanks.. despite everything mentioned and tried, still had no luck.
Landed up returning the router to Scoop and getting a Unifi unit.

Spent the whole weekend trying to get it to work - PEBKAC clearly.

Evening all,

Quick question: we have a connection with Vox with the provided a Mikrotik hAP ac2 but I need to extend the wifi signal to cover a back bedrooms.

The hAP installed does not have a POE out, confirmed with a picture of the front of the unit.

But can anyone here recommend an AP for a quick install…I was thinking of a cAP lite since it’s cheap and in stock at Scoop. Can this be powered with a gizzu, or what’s my best option here?

Thanks

cAP lite can take 10-60v on PoE which I assume is how you want to power it from the gizzu so don't see any problems there.

If you have full access to your hap you can use Capsman to manage wireless on both devices. A bit of a initial setup but once configured you just put your AP in CAP mode and plug it in

Is using Capsman a requirement for just a single AP addition or would connecting the cAP lite to a lan port on the hAP and powering it not just work as a connected AP and expand the wireless coverage?

I'm not very familiar with the Mikrotik line of kit

The benefit of using Capsman is that you get a single SSID which is better for your client devices. Any changes you make on your controller will be made to all access points on your network. You could setup the cAP on its own but everything will be separate.
 
Big one lots I could fit in here

Good morning everyone.
I have a "monitoring" question: When Eskom starts loadshedding, my inverter kicks in for essential loads, but my poolpump connected to a sonoff switch is not on essential, so it will be off, with no ping response.
I am trying to determine when we are running off the inverter, and the easiest seem to be to do a ping test to the SONOFF, if no response, I know we are in loadshedding.
Is this kind of notification via email or something available on the Mikrotik?

Use the netwatch function. You can them either mail yourself or tell the RB to do something

I think the most awesome solution you will find, is if you have a router that can run docker containers.

Then you install Uptime Kuma on there, and the monitoring alert types will be far more.

Thanks for this ... doesn't seem clear for "State change" notifications. ie. I don't want constant notifications that the pump is down, only need notification when its status changes

It only notifies when going down and when up again. At least that's how it works for me. I get it as slack notifications on my phone.

You can do that with the new v4 version of Mikrocloud. And if you follow their LinkedIn page you stand a chance to win a hap.
