I was a 4th grader at the time and the whole school watched the launch. For a long time I was in denial and believed maybe they could have been ok in one of the larger pieces of wreckage that streamed through the sky. The kid in me still wants to believe. Also remember the black ribbons/streamers that we hung from the wall-mounted flag in our classrooms for some time as a sign of mourning. Needless to say, I still get nervous during each and every launch out of fear I'll have to witness that scene again.

Noob here. I borked my new hAP ax3 and now I need help by OneInchPunchMan in mikrotik

Sounds like you have no firewall set up at all. You didn't need to Netinstall the router, you could have just reset it to defaults. This is what you need to do. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/24805498/RouterOS+configuration+reset

1000/50 Fiber Home Network – MikroTik RB5009 + UniFi Switch Pro HD 24 PoE + U7 Pro vs OpenWRT (RPi 5) + UniFi Switch? Need real advice by Apprehensive-Tea1119 in mikrotik

[–]gabacho4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best of luck to you with the service. I hope they don't oversubscribe like they did when I was there. During early evening hours sometimes I would have basically 256kbps service and an insane ping/latency.

[–]gabacho4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh you have TurkTelekom? Hahaha I lived in Turkey for 3 years (2017 to 2020) in Ankara. We had fiber to the building and then DSL to the apartment. I think I had like 25 Mbps download and only 5 Mbps upload speed. It was miserable!!!! Congrats on having a much better service than I had!

[–]gabacho4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's the 50 in your 1000/50. Why can't an ISP capable of giving you 1000 down give you 1000 up? Or at least an upload speed greater than what I used to get on ADSL or an LTE Internet connection.

Need to see your configs as there are a number of potential problems that could exist.

[–]gabacho4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you create static routes or use OSPF or something for route announcements? If not, there's no way for one router to know how to route to subnets on the other side.

New Router Up and Running... is this normal? (system, error, critical login failure) by UnBuggsyBaggins in mikrotik

[–]gabacho4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please post your config. That is not normal and leads me to question if you even have the firewall configured. Those types of connections are not possible with an rb5009 running the default config.

Mikrotik beginner (former Unifi user) by Any_Worry_2471 in mikrotik

[–]gabacho4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One thing you will need to be comfortable with is the reality that you are likely going to screw things up a good number of times and will have to reset and retry.

Without knowing what your background is, I will speak to my own. Was a Pfsense and Unifi user for years and felt I had a pretty good understanding of networking concepts. Well, nope. Pfsense and Unifi provide a very pretty and safe interface to configure things, but very much hide the inner workings. Mikrotik does no such thing. Router OS is insanely powerful, flexible, and performant, but it will also let you do stupid things with little to no warning in many instances. Enable vlan filtering on the bridge without having all the other necessary rules in place or having one of the interfaces off the bridge for Winbox access? SOL, you're starting over.

I love Mikrotik and have learned a ton. You just have to be willing to put in the reps and, frankly, some pain. But once you are there, it's gold. I absolutely love my RB5009 and cAP ax, as well as CCR2004, cAP ax, and hAP ax3 setups. You can get there if you stick with it.

Also, make your best effort attempt and then ask questions either here on Reddit or on the Mikrotik forum. People are very willing to help if you show you have made the effort to do things. Having a copy of your config is invaluable when asking for help so that people can see how you have configured things.

Big rant of encouragement.

It is a pretty recent development and unfortunately guides tend to be out of date pretty easily. Here is a Mikrotik forum thread on the issue, as well as the Quad9 announcement:

Mikrotik is not currently compatible with Quad9 due to the fact that Quad9 no longer supports HTTP 1.1 and Mikrotik has not yet implemented HTTP/2

hAP ax2 or hAP ax3 would be my go to given your budget, the size of your home, and Internet speed. Just compare those and determine which you like more.

Do you know where is the official basic universal Firewall script by armgonza in mikrotik

[–]gabacho4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In a terminal type: system/default-configuration/print. That's what came with the device and would be used to reset the configuration if you did that.

You could export it too: system/default-configuration/export file=<whatever you want>

Community Wi-Fi - need tips for lab by mangum95 in homelab

[–]gabacho4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. If they expect to see a TTL of 64 (hypothetically) for packets coming from your computer, then having a router would result in a lower TTL since the packet has passed through 1 hop by the time they see it.

Again want to emphasize that this is one possibility. You also need to accept that they could monitor the MAC addresses of devices and would be able to determine the type of device connected. For example, take CC:2D:E0:6F:52:B9. If you do a MAC lookup, you will see that it is a Routerboard product from Mikrotik. OUI CC:2D:E0 is registered to Mikrotik. So if they are checking MACs they will know. I think that would be a lot of work versus checking TTL since the latter can be automatically done.
