Mikrotik hAP AX Lite LTE6 with a powerbank and "unlimited" dataplan stuffed in a belt pouch.
Wifi wherever I go (until the powerbank dies).
New version! #MikroTik RouterOS 7.20beta5 is available in the Testing channel https://mikrotik.com/download
#Mikrotik is a gr8 networking platform.
Today I went full user and took the web-based configuration wizard to change from the router to bridge mode.
Apparently this action wiped out the "LAN" and "WAN" interface lists as they are no longer applicable.
It's also good because it disables DHCP and a few other things that a bridge shouldn't do.
But it leaves a functioning firewall rule "deny all traffic from !LAN".
I did this on a clean router with 7.19 on it.
What the actual fuck, Mikrotik?
#Mikrotik Wish-List:
* Updated RB5009 with 1x SFP+, 1x 10gbaseT PoE, 7x 2.5GB PoE, higher speeds, multigig uplink port with PoE
* PoE version of the crs310-8G+2S+IN, ideally with the power on the back, but keeping the same size
* Maybe just a smaller version of the CRS309-1G-8S+IN, with half of the ports as 10gbaseT/PoE(?) for new generation access points, a little deeper but narrow enough to stack with other half-rack devices

New blog post: A detailed look at the new network setup
https://blog.transitory.social/posts/2025-07-02-network-rebuild-project/
Almost everything was rebuilt, and multiple layers of complexity were eliminated
#Homelab #Networking #Kubernetes #Mikrotik
Turns out: Yes, that #Microsoft network just seems to have absolutely broken IPv6.
I can get it to work again by enabling MSS-Clamping on my end using `/ipv6 firewall mangle add chain=forward action=change-mss new-mss=clamp-to-pmtu passthrough=yes tcp-flags=syn protocol=tcp dst-address=2603:1000::/25` on my #Mikrotik router. Kind of embarrassing, but eh.
Send a bunch more debugging data to my ISP after a nice telephone chat with a technical support person. Good impression so far. Let's see.
How do YOU secure your self-hosted services?
The best defense is layers: firewalls, IDS/IPS, and smart blocklists. CrowdSec Community Member @_guyevans shows you how to integrate CrowdSec’s threat intelligence with a MikroTik router to lock down your homelab at the network edge.
- Layer 1: MikroTik firewall
- Layer 2: CrowdSec’s crowdsourced blocklists
- Result: Automated protection against malicious traffic

After upgrading my home FTTH from 500/100 to 1000/100 and updating #mikrotik to use #fasttrack, now my internet flies. Beware that without setting fasttrack, router would choke (mine gave up at 300Mbps with 100% CPU usage).
I'm wondering if I understand routing correctly?
The context is that I have a Mikrotik AP with a USB LTE modem plugged in. I'm looking at the routing section in the router settings. It's all default configuration. The router has an external IP address of 192.168.1.106, and an internal IP address of 192.168.50.1.
The first route is that everything destined for 0.0.0.0, so the wider internet, has to go through 192.168.1.1, so the internet gateway.
The last route is for internal traffic, everything destined for an address in the .50 subnet goes through bridge.
But what is the difference between the first sand second route?

Booked for MTCSWE training and certification at the end of July. #MikroTik #MTCSWE #Certification #NetEng #Pokémon
Warmer weather is predicted! Hurrah! We are looking forward to working in Rīga for the next two weeks and as it’s June, some sunshine would be a delight! I will be teaching an MTCNA and MTCEWE at the #MikroTik #RouterOS Training Centre plus an extra one day’s DeepDive into advanced wireless RouterOS topics. Excited to be there and cannot wait to see old friends and family again. https://toot.lv/@LSM_Eng_rss/114652349193845867
The final parts needed for my QRP Labs Ultimate3S QRSS/WSPR kit has arrived. The PCB and components came fast from Turkey in a few days but the case has taken three weeks from China. I blame @bloor for starting this new #WSPR project! Sadly it’s all now here just as I’m preparing to travel to Rīga for our ninth #MikroTik BootCamp Training. I’ll have to wait until I return before attacking this with a soldering iron as some of this build like the bifolar wound transmformeds cannot be rushed!

MikroTik is super popular in my country. Whenever I read a computer network related job vacancies, more often than not, these are always about MikroTik.
Their certifications are also popular as well.
Even I often contemplate to get their certifications once I get a job.
Apparently, #MikroTik is hosting their own #PeerTube instance!

Don't confuse it with any other #TikTube, though. One is a completely unrelated video platform, another is a more unrelated project on GitHub. (It is probably late to name your instance more uniquely, @mikrotik@mikrotik.social, but I hope this post helps clear things up.)
