I'm shocked of the behavior of Mikrotik !

I take time here to expose what happen to me in order for others to know my story ( and therefore expose the mentality of this company ..)

I had a question about one of their product that I own.
So I created an account on their forum space

• fill the form
• "play" with the captcha
• wait the registration email
• confirm
• adjust settings in the user control panel

Took already some times, then I create my first post related to the question that I had.

after posting I got ~"Your post need to be approved before it's been published"

I'm not a fan of this method already, but I waited, next day when I login on their forum I got:

😵 WTF !

The username is exactly the same as I use here James_PTG Of course in my avatar we can read the expanded version:

"James Patageul" is a play of words because I sound the same as (in french) "J'aime pas ta gueule" Translate in "I don't like your face"

So first of all, on a scale of "outrageousness" let say this one got a low score..

Secondly, why a Permanent BAN[^1] !?? They could simply had removed the avatar and changed the name if they didn't appreciate it.. ( and still why they have to appreciate or not ? it's a forum ( public place ) ) ?

I'm baffled how they treat their customers...

So long Mikrotik..

Hi,

Is it possible in a router to route traffic from one specific node ( here the laptop to the DVR) but not the other way around ( DVR to 192.168.10.0/28 ) ?

        192.168.10.1/28

                             ──     

Meaning, I want to keep the DVR in it's subnet only. But allow the laptop to reach it.

Thanks.

Hello, I have a RB3011UIAS-RM as my router at home connected to a Starlink router in Bridge mode. We are getting FTTP soon (goodbye Elon Musk!) and the expected speed will be 2.5Gbps. In the UK the ISP's primarily provide Ethernet to the home owner rather than PON. I am no expert when it comes to network although I make things work (VLAN's, ubiquiti AP's Integration, pihole as dns running on docker on a different device). My question is, can I benefit from this speed at all using my router? In my ignorance, I am thinking of link aggregation from ISP router to my MK router or a capable 2.5Gbps switch between the two routers and all LAN cables connected to said switch. Or is upgrading the router the only option? If so, would a RB4011 be the right choice? Can you, educated people, shed some light on this, please?

Currently in early test phase, it's hosted on a 100% MikroTik system, the service runs on a RDS and the storage is a RDS minio cluster. If it all works out, we will migrate older videos too.

You might’ve noticed the EU and Latvian flags in our recent brochures. Over 50% of our products are already made in the EU — and that number’s growing.

We’re bringing production closer to home to ensure quality, supply chain security, and transparency.

It’s not just a label. It’s a promise. 🇱🇻🇪🇺

I mean the wAP ax is cheaper and offers faster wifi, plus it's waterproof so you can use it outdoors. One advantage of the cAP ax is a faster cpu and more RAM, but if you need a complex firewall or VPN, a dedicated server makes more sense I guess.

Tbf the cAP has two Ethernets and PoE out so you can Daisy chain them. But is that all or am I missing something?

I recently got fiber internet and wanted to bypass all ISP equipment with the was110. Since I needed a router with SFP (I've had an Edgerouter-X for years) I decided to go switch to Mikrotik.

The l009 is such a nice router! I ended up pairing it with a cheap no-name multi gigabit managed switch (4x 2.5gb rj45 and 2x sfp+ for high speed transfers to my NAS) and a Mikrotik wAP AX for wifi, which is powered through the passive PoE on the l009.

I've been playing with LACP bonding, VLANs, firewalling and IPv6 and there is so much to it. It is such a great way to learn.

Mikrotik is a pretty cool company too. Fair prices, based the EU, have a fediverse presence (shout out @mikrotik@mikrotik.social) and support old hardware pretty much forever.

Granted, their equipment has a quite high learning curve. But if you have the time and patience, it is really rewarding.

Wow, fediverse mentioned!

Screenshot from the video:

I can't see pricing yet.

Or can I hard-reset the device into the default configuration again?
