Nogmaals enige kennis is wel handig en verder Mikrotik heeft een goed forum!
Grazie mille
RouterOS and winbox are extremely powerful tools which offer the same (if not more) network customization options and raw throughput as Cisco devices that are 2-4 times the price.
This little home network router has pretty much the same features as a $1200 Cisco router, but obviously with less packet processing power.
Now this thing isn't just plug and go in case you're looking for a simple home router, but I think if you can use a computer without having to call your nephew for help every week you'll be fine. There's a quick automatic config option for beginners. 10 minutes on YouTube and you'll have a gaming router for half the price.
I was tired of using comcast's weak modem/router. The webui was buggy and slow. I've now got load balancing, QoS that can be customized by client, connection, traffic type, and even level 7 application protocol.
If you want to set up a mesh wifi, hot spots, or controlled access points you can (with added hardware of course).
If you want to set up VPNs, generate certs, maintain blacklists and whitelists, prevent port scans flood and brute force attacks, and use syn cookies, you can. If you want to monitor network traffic, set up vlans, maintain multiple local networks, and block specific applications, you can! In a $60 router! And that's maybe 20% of what you can do.
Did you break the config? Cool just reset it and load a backup.
Hardware died? Cool just load your backup onto a new mikrotik router. Most settings are compatible even between different models. I loaded the config from the cloudcore router at work to this hexs and had it working on 15 minutes.
I'm sorry if this is kind of long winded but I love these routers!
(PROS)
- Cheaper then a Sonicwall TZ500 (MSRP $1,200)
- Did I mention how inexpensive! LOL
- Getting Gigabit speeds with basic setup, a few NATs and DDNS setup!
- Small footprint size.
- Fast boot times.
- Has a quick setup for very basic setup, for non IT people.
- Built in DDNS like service, for dynamic public IPs, that have a need to check security cameras, NAS boxes, servers, VPN, etc. Eliminating the need for dyndns.org, no-ip.org etc.. Reminds me of Synology quickid service, etc.
- 5 port gigabit switch. I used port 1 as Comcast WAN Input, and the remaining 4 as LAN.
- I did all my config and management via web browser at 192.168.88.1. i.e. I did not download and use the winbox config software.
(CONS)
- Interface OS is not as polished as Sonic OS, but works. But I am biased.
- Not as many interfaces as a Sonicwall TZ500.
- Interface / OS requires IT knowledge. Basic End user, like my mom, wife, kids, grandparents, etc.. would NEVER be able to figure it out.
- I, as an enterprise certified Sonicwall Systems Engineer, had to watch youtube videos on how to create hairpin destination NATs, etc. Its just not as obvious. Or you have to get to know where to find things, and how their OS works, but its manageable, once you get to know their layout and methods.
- The power adapter is a basic barrel plug into the Microtik Router. Power cable has fallen out a few times, while moving the router around. It is fine if left untouched. Just wish they would have added some type of quick release power connection, as the majority of these devices do.
I wanted to turn off Xfinity/Comcast cable modem Wi-Fi for health reasons. Currently, renting the usual cable modem + Wi-Fi hotspot + Ethernet router. Some MORON software engineer (well, more likely his management or sales/marketing department) REQUIRES that disabling Wi-Fi on these units also kills internal Ethernet router functionality (what the frack?). Not trusting a third-party modem+router combo, I am buying the router first separately, followed by a modem later.
1. Buy this MikroTik hEX S Gigabit Ethernet Router (RB760iGS), I do recommend it from a technical capabilities and richness of configuration standpoint, but I am NOT much happy from documentation, ease of use, or newbie friendliness.
2. Log in to Xfinity customer website, and turn OFF your public Wi-Fi hotspot (the feature that allows other Comcast customers to use your modem as their access point). This has to be done from the website, I don't think it can be done from the modem itself.
3. Unplug any Ethernet cables inserted into modem's ports numbered above 1. ONLY port #1 will be active from now on. Ports 2-4 will be dead.
4. Log in to your modem, by using Ethernet 1 port, and by logging in to 10.0.0.1
5. Place your modem into Bridge mode. Bridge = ON. You will get a warning. After application, screen will ask you to wait for 1 minute.
At this point I already had the router plugged in, but I was having the following symptoms:
No Internet access from the computer(s)
Router was not able to detect upgraded firmware online
I started outputting bricks at this point because I could not get Internet working, but it turns out that the modem has to be RESTARTED (power cycled) before it will start providing the router with DHCP packets.
6. Unplug your cable modem for at least 30 seconds.
7. Plug it back in. Modem will take 1-2 minute to initialize, wait until lights on front panel are steady (Wi-Fi lights may be blinking from now on, however).
8. Connect Port 1 from Xfinity modem via a CAT6 Ethernet cable (minimum), into Port 1 of router.
9. Power up the MikroTik router.
10. Wait for the router to initialize. It will make a few beeps.
11. Navigate to 192.168.88.1
12. Default settings SHOULD get you on the internet with BASIC router functionality.
IF you do not get internet access within 5-10 minutes of power-up of both devices, you may need to change your tactic slightly to force one to see the other. Try this:
13. Power-cycle the Xfinity modem, first making sure that NETHER your MikroTik hEX router OR PC are attached to it.
14. Power down the hEX S router.
15. After the modem's reset has completed, NOW connect the hEX S Port 1 to modem's Ethernet Port 1 and power ON the hEX S.
16. Now connect your PC or other devices to the hEX S router using Ports 2-5 and you should have access to the Internet
If you STILL have no internet after trying it both ways and waiting up to 15 minutes, you may need to check if your ISP DNS address were specified properly (by either using online login into routerOS or via winbox installed on a local computer).
This should be common sense, but for total newbies out there:
Your home network needs a single modem.
Your home network requires a single router (whether built-in into the modem, or standalone like this unit provides).
Limited number of devices can be inserted given limited number of ports of a router (usually four ports from either the modem/router combo, or a barebones router like this).
If you need to connect more devices than router's ports allow, switch(es)' Upstream port may be plugged in to the router. Even more switches may be plugged in to these switches.
After this, a great deal of further learning needs to be undertaken to enhance the security of your home network and add additional functionality to it. Good luck!
You can easily have a Wi-Fi-free home (although you still get it second-hand from neighbors) if you turn Wi-Fi OFF on ALL devices that you have. Additional RF exposure reduction can be achieved by:
Disabling 5G on your cellphone (if available on the phone).
Using wired headset or Bluetooth (as long as you use it for short calls and NOT all day to listen to music) or hands-free on your cellphone.
With advanced skills (highly contingent on manufacturer's support, too), you can even reverse-tether your cellphone!
This board is often compared to the EdgeRouter-X as they have similar hardware and price. The hex has 2Gbps bandwidth so it should be able to handle full duplex gigabit while the ER-X can only do half.
The downside of the hex as I see it is that it isn't as linux configurable as the ER models. For example you won't get a newish feature like DNS over HTTPS or TLS until Mikrotik gets around to it, whereas it's very easy to set this up yourself on the ER-X.
That said, the hex is a great board for routing. Winbox is a nifty package. If you like the expressiveness of Winbox and don't want to maintain effectively a linux distro for a router, then I think the hex is a great choice.
When next day it dropped connection interrupting my wife's work-from-home I gave up on it. That NEVER happened with any of my routers over the years. Sorry Mikrotek I wanted to keep you but I have no use for such pathetic USB performance.
Out of the box the PoE in is on the WAN port which does not make a lot of sense in a SOHO environment as no cable modem I know of supplies PoE.
Fortunately all of the NAT/firewall rules are written with interface lists so it’s easy enough to switch the ports in the lists and pull PoE LAN side.
I’m basically using this as to firewall off subnets of different traffic and access rules that are all trunked from Meraki equipment on one port. It is also the DHCP server for all of these subnets.
My only complaint is the OpenVPN is screwy. I cannot for the life of me get it to route traffic over a VPN even though everything else seems to be in place. I’ve done setups like that with other software without issue... it just seems to be this router.
NOTE: The advanced features can be pretty confusing. The company has a wiki site up that covers ALL of their routers so it can be tedious figuring out if your router supports certain things (like VERY limited VLAN support on this device).
The MikroTik router is pretty impressive. I has so many feature that I can't imagine a configuration this wouldn't support. it will be in integral part of my home lab. I've spent a LOT more for network devices that were much less capable. I only needed a few ports because this feeds into a much bigger switch but I'm just amazed how fast it is compared to something like pfsense. I would recommend this without hesitation.
I could not make something better, just could not very very impressed, if you think this device is bad you do not know how to use it!
Recommend mynetworktraining.com if you need help learning the MikroTik way of doing things.
Fits my needs quite well!
It works when just plugged in in default settings, but changing anything requires decent networking knowledge.
Excellent for advanced users.
