He's my lifesaver. The FTTC lines are still down and the ETA for a fix is Sunday - and frankly, I don't think it'll happen before Monday.
AKA, for the next few days, he'll be the one keeping the home network connected to the world.

A detailed, eye-level photograph of a white and black MikroTik Chateau 5G router, featuring its two large, upright black external antennas. The router is resting centrally on an ornate, antique-style gold-plated end table with a faux-marble top. The "MIKROTIK" logo and a set of active blue and green LED indicator lights are visible on the router's front panel. In the background, there is an elaborate gold and crystal chandelier, a dark wooden cabinet, and connected black power cable. The lower shelves of the decorative table are also partially visible, holding other crystal items and a brochure. The lighting is warm.

Back from the office, with the #MikroTik #Chateau 5G - the coverage isn't great here, only 4G, but constantly having 50/20 mbit/sec. More than enough until they'll restore the connections.

@EnigmaRotor how's your device doing?

Running first #wireguard connection between #mikrotik 😍 and #LANCOM 🤢 router!

@gyptazy Nice! Mine are just small companies with just one server but in need of a good strategy for backups. I motitor them using https://github.com/rcourtman/pulse connected to me by #wireguard and #mikrotik ! Backup with local pbs to a remote pbs through wireguard vpn. Simple, safe and secure.

@justdude Beware! Hard times coming once you are addicted to #mikrotik ! Trust meeeeeeeeee! 💉

Remarkable machines and OS those #mikrotik devices…
Once you start reading the extra's are overwhelming

what a functions, what a vast amount of things the device can be configured to do.
It adds complexity because OPNsense for example does do some th8ngs automatically and with this you have to think… but thats ok.

Automated scripting, api calls to send logs, update firewall entries (crowdsec on a separate device)! Add a rp2040 in the usb port to block ads with an adblocker like pihole.

Anyone here use a #Mikrotik router via ssh? One thing that's always bothered me is that `/log print` doesn't paginate, which seems utterly bizarre to me given that other `print` commands paginate by default. There is a `without-paging` argument for `/log print`, which seems utterly redundant given that it never paginates anyway. Aside from filtering the log by time (which is very fiddly) or topic (which doesn't always help much), is there some way to make the damned thing paginate or at least print a tolerable number of lines?

LibreNMS and MikroTik are a great combination.

A client reached out because they had no clear idea how their queues were configured or whether they were actually needed. After all, "everything seems to be running fine.". The usual mantra: "if eveything's working, what am I paying you for?"

I pulled up LibreNMS, grabbed a couple of screenshots, and suddenly everything made sense.
The response? "WOW."

#LibreNMS #Monitoring #MikroTik

I wanted to set up presence detection in Home Assistant without exposing my installation to the internet, and without giving the companion app on my phone access to location data.

I use MikroTik network gear at home, so I added the Mikrotik integration to Home Assistant. It showed my phone as a MAC address, connected through Wifi, and I used that as device tracker. Everything seemed fine, but then the next afternoon. the device tracker still showed me as Away.

I then discovered that GrapheneOS (edit: Android rather, see below) uses a different random MAC address for each connection to a network, as default. Changed it to use a static random MAC for my home network, and now it works as intended.

All this to avoid running the Morning Coffee automation if I'm not even home.

Screen shot from Home Assistant -> History for person Michael, showing me Home, Away, and then Home again. This matches my phone's connection to the home network.

The speakers at the third #MikroTik Professionals Conference have now been published on our website. We have selected MikroTik experts from all over the world who are coming to MTPC Prague in March to explain how to use many of the new features added to RouterOS v7 in the last few years. Tickets are still available for sale. Free beer (other drinks are available) the evening before! Plus of course, the famous free raffle! https://mtpc.world/agenda/

Exactly four years ago, I upgraded from #mikrotik #routeros 6.x to 7.x (7.1.2). What a magic moment! So many new features and of course my favorite is #wireguard ! Others are #macsec and #vxlan… Forgot to mention #mvrp ;-)

@joshaspinall @justdude @justine I'm currently configuring this for my office.
At the moment, I'm managing around 50 #MikroTik devices. They're all doing great.
I have more or less other 50 devices to be delivered or "just in case". They can be off for years - I upgrade them, reset to default settings and they're ready to do their job in a reliable way.
Oh, and I also have a watchdog!

@justine For automatic backups of #mikrotik configs (and many other!) give #unimus a try!

https://unimus.net/

Simple and free for up to 10 devices!

NOTE - I live in a wooden house not a brick in sight.

@rachel Nice idea! Perhaps you could ask the #mikrotik forum?

Worse idea time:

Could I plug a CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe into a external GPU enclosure, or just some thingy designed for a raspberry pi, and have a tiny inexpensive 2-port 25gb router? (likely only need 10g speed)

So today some more #Mikrotik saga.

I've bought esim (for my Chateau 5G 17ax) from another operator which has cell tower a bit closer. Signal is steal weak but at least RSRP usually stays below -100 dBm.
In the morning I got 135Mbps of download speed.
