Re: [WISPA] Cogent?
Jim, IPv6 is an interesting topic with Cogent. We're receiving 11k routes from HE, Level3, and TWTC, but only ~8800 from Cogent. Cogent is not providing full routes on IPv6 because they do not peer with HE. Llast time I asked they have no plans of doing anything about it. I really wouldn't recommend anyone use Cogent as their sole provider. Cogent only has a single route to/from many of their pops. For example almost a month ago there was almost a week long outage in the New Orleans market when their transit provider had a cut. Looking at their network map shows multiple routes out of New Orleans though. Overall I've been very pleased with the performance of their network. Their support has been very knowledgeable and maintenance requests (ie prefix updates) have been handled in less than an hour.

You need to download the all packages zip file for your platform and then copy the user-manager npk file onto the router and then reboot.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik Redirect
I used to do what you did, but it resulted in many errors on the page as you encountered. Using the web proxy works better but still won't solve your problem completely. This will redirect all 'deadbeats' to the web proxy, which will then only allow them to your website. /ip firewall address-list add address=192.168.1.5 comment=deadbeat customer who needs to pay! disabled=no list=deadbeats /ip firewall nat add action=redirect chain=dstnat disabled=no dst-port=80 protocol=tcp src-address-list=deadbeats to-ports=8080 /ip proxy set enabled=yes port=8080 /ip proxy access add action=allow comment=your servers name here disabled=no dst-host=www.whatever.com add action=allow comment=your servers ip here disabled=no dst-address=1.2.3.4/24 add action=deny comment=url to redirect them to disabled=no redirect-to=www.whatever.com/pay_your_bill.html Josh Cheney wrote: sa...@michianawireless.com wrote: Really did not work as planned. Occasionally I would get the page at the 1.2.3.4 server but most of the time I would get broken links and partially displayed pages? Well, I can tell you why this is happening. Remember that each image, each CSS/Javascript include, etc, are all seperate HTTP requests, so if you are interrupting every fifth request, you are also going to end up blocking every fifth include (for reference, my twitter page has 54 src attributes in it, so your rule would break a random 20% of twitter for me). So far as how you would accomplish that, perhaps 1.2.3.4 needs to respond with some javascript to pop up a new window, or force redirection of the existing window. There is no simple way that I can see to be able to do what you are trying to do with just Mikrotik rules. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] is this router overloaded?
Are you using Adaptive Noise Immunity? If so, that will cause the cpu to skyrocket on even lightly loaded ap's.. Gerard Kurt Fankhauser wrote: I have a RB600 here that I've taken a screenshot of. No interfaces are bridged, everything is routed and I'm noticing some lag in the traffic that passes though this device during peak use. I suspect that the 41 RIP routes might have something to do with it as actual throughput isn't that much sometimes topping out around 8Mbps. Just want to hear from others and if there is any suggestions on how I might speed this up let me know. CPU usage on it is around 40-50%. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Really Simple Mikrotik shaping?
If you are using Mikrotik for both AP's and CPE's, you can use the Default AP/Client Tx Rate settings under the wireless tab on your wireless interface properties. If you're not using Mikrotik clients it will only be able to control the AP Tx(client download) speeds. If you add the customers to the access list you can override these default settings. -Gerard Cameron Kilton wrote: Is there a way to limit the bandwidth by the user registration table.

Re: [WISPA] Trango 900
I inherited a Trango 900 network that has some AP's with over 100 subs on them. You just need to be careful how much bandwidth you sell your customers since there is only 3mbit to go around. I am very impressed with how well they run with that many subs though. Gerard Al Stewart wrote: I know some of you are using Trango 900s. So could I trouble you for some observations based on your depth of experience with this equipment. Sort of a simple question. In your experience, how many 900 SUs can a single 900 AP handle before speeds are affected? How many can be accessing simultaneously with serious damage to the bandwidth?
