I exhausted myself while writing and/or formatting this and consider using LaTeX for this a mistake, while this is probably my most fancy document yet and likely was good practice. I learned at least that arrows require inline math and how to get table of contents that my other files don't have.

\chapter{Introduction}
|
|
|
|
This file documents how I want my MikroTik devices to be configured.
|
|
It doesn't necessarily have to be written in \LaTeX, but I want to practice it.
|
|
|
|
My wishlist for WiFi APs, that MikroTik doesn't fully comform either, is at:
|
|
\url{https://gitea.blesmrt.net/mikaela/gist/src/branch/master/wifi/README.md}
|
|
|
|
My configuration is mostly based on \url{https://support.apple.com/HT202068} although I disable legacy protocols which it advices keeping enabled for maximum compatibility.
|
|
|
|
As this document is primarily for my personal use, some sections won't go to further detail.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{winbox}
|
|
|
|
WinBox is the MikroTik configuration tool.
|
|
It works directly with WINE and can be dropped to \texttt{\$PATH} with \texttt{chmod +rx WinBox64.exe}
|
|
|
|
\chapter{Quíck set}
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Network name: same for both, for me ends with \_nomap
|
|
\item Frequency: auto
|
|
\item Band: 2GHz-only-N, 5GHz-only-AC
|
|
\item Guest network: openwireless.org\_nomap
|
|
\item Guest WiFi password: empty
|
|
\item Limit Download Speed: 8M
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Limit Download Speed appears to use bits per second or something similar as an unit.

An expert has this to say on WiFi bands:
|
|
|
|
\begin{displayquote}
|
|
The problem with enabling the lower spec networks are the broadcasts. Those you shout out with the lowerst spec you have available for the clients.
|
|
Those beacons are reserved airtime not only for you, but everyone who hears them too.
|
|
\end{displayquote}
|
|
|
|
This is where Apple disagrees, but they most likely want the most compatibility for end users regardless of their devices, while I don't have active devices that don't support n.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{IPv6}
|
|
|
|
To enable IPv6, simply
|
|
Select LTE APNs.
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item navigate to Interfaces $\rightarrow$ LTE (it's a tab) $\rightarrow$ LTE APNs (a button below the tab bar).
|
|
\item Doubleclick or add a new APN from the plus symbol.
|
|
\item Set \texttt{IPv6 Interface: bridge}
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
DNS could be canged here too, but "Use Peer DNS" is probably fine when using DoH anyway.
|
|
Referr to a later section.
|
|
|
|
For reference the full configuration here is:
|
|
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
Name: Moi
|
|
APN: data.moimobile.fi
|
|
IP Type: Auto
|
|
[x] Use Peer DNS
|
|
[ ] Use Network APN
|
|
[x] Add Default Route
|
|
Default route distance: 2
|
|
IPv6 Interface: bridge
|
|
Authentication: none
|
|
Passthrough Interface: none
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
|
|
\chapter{DNS over HTTPS}
|
|
|
|
IP $\rightarrow$ DNS $\rightarrow$ Use DoH server.
|
|
|
|
WinBox has a Files button where .pem can be uploaded (previously downloaded with Firefox security details, CA tab), that can then be imported from System $\rightarrow$ Certificates.
|
|
|
|
In Firefox it's best to load the chain and then check that the 90 days certificate doesn't get included.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{2.4 GHz band}
|
|
|
|
Doubleclick Interface WLAN1 (and WLAN2) and select the appropiate box (20 MHz).
|
|
|
|
\chapter{DHCP Lease time}
|
|
|
|
IP $\rightarrow$ DHCP Server $\rightarrow$ doubleclick defconf (short for default configuration).
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Default: 00:10:00.
|
|
I hope this means 10 hours, but I fear it's HH:MM:SS...
|
|
\item New value for SOHO: 08:00:00
|
|
\item New value for open: 01:00:00
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\chapter{5G}
|
|
|
|
In iOS MikroTik app settings I have navigated to 5G, pressed the cog symbol and set NR bands to 78.
|
|
This closes out 28 which is present, I am under impression that it's similar in experience to 4G.
|
|
|
|
\chapter{DFS}
|
|
|
|
I have detected that most of my clients refuse to use DFS channels for 5 GHz.
|
|
The solution is to disable them.
|
|
|
|
On MikroTik iOS app:
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\item Select WLAN2 on the main menu.
|
|
\item Press the three dots on top.
|
|
\item Select advanced mode.
|
|
\item Wireless
|
|
\item Skip DFS channels
|
|
\item All
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
Note: Skip DFS channels is set to "disabled", my clients avoid 5 GHz.
|
|
If it's "10 min CAC", my clients still avoid it.
|
|
So it must be disabled, even if those three non-DFS channels are going to be the most busy.
