Sounds like a dns problem, you using peer dns or static ?

Cool.

I just fixed it by doing a proper reset again. Started to work after that!

Happy Days, I gather it's updated then ?

Yea! 7.8

Playing around with it atm and gunna try install unifi controller docker on it

Good news, did that sort out the sfp issue.

Actually not quite, i need to get a sfp transiever that does 100mb as my printer only does that lmao.

Anyways another qery i have below:

I am trying to setup pihole on my RB5009 mikrotik router using this guide:

Docker containers on Mikrotik? Part 2: PiHole

Pihole time!Druvis is back and this time, things get real. Installing a PiHole container image on MikroTik RouterOS!

www.youtube.com

However, when i try to access the pihole via http:192./168.88.2:888 it geta 403 forbidden error.

I followed basically every step in that video and the only difference is that my RB5009 router's local IP is 192.168.88.2 instead of the default 192.168.88.1.

the container is running.

The bridge is set to use the veth1.

NAT was added and also DNS set to 172.17.0.2 as per the guide on that video and also on here https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Container#Container-Summary

try http://pi.hole/admin/login.php

im unable to start the pihole container. click start and nothing happens in the winbox ui and i even tried doing /container start 0 and no errors etc shows up. However, when type /container print, the pihole container did not start and still in stopped state

eidt: fixed it, i rebooted and started it again and can access it via http://192.168.88.2:888/admin/

However, now my unify controller container cant start.

Cant i start and run two containers?

Impressed with the RB5009 so far, coming from a mainly Cisco and Aruba OS/CX background the cli is taking some getting used to. Functionality-wise, the ability to run containers is excellent. Had an issue updating to 7.8, broke all my containers so have rolled back to 7.7.

The containers in my rb5009 stopped working and so i gave up on that feature. All i wanted to run was pinhole and unify controller container

So I assume if I bought a Mikrotik Fibre to sfp/+ or Ethernet to sfp/+ that it would/should work perfectly fine. Also how common is it for assorted sfp brands not to work across different platforms.

MikroTik devices work with a wide range of sfp transceivers.

@$anch3z what docker containers are you running?

I see people moaning about port flapping etc.. but it always seems to be a zin-zap version or whatever hence why I asked the question. Knowing this stuff moving forward would be a great saver and advantage as speeds and needs get faster and faster.

There's a tech channel called home to serve I think and they did a series of tests on different sfp transceivers and 9/10 of the ones they tested work

Hi, i have noticed that the speeds of my internet has slowed down a lot.

I am supposed to be getting aroun 900mb/s upload and download, however i only get at average, 10mb/s

After doing some digging arouund, i notice that my public IP that my ISP provides seems to be located in amsterdam( I am based in the UK)

I then double checked if there was some sort of VPN that was activated on my pc but there is not.

Whats strange is that if i do enable vpn(i have express VPN client on my pc) and point it towards a uk vpn, i get near enough 600-800mb/s speeds.....

Here is my configuration file that i have exported from my router
https://pastebin.com/AZxZeyVM

I double checked the settings under PPP in winbox and i dont see any vpn setup there..

I am currently with Community fibre and my RB5009 is connected to the fibre modem via the 2.5gb ethernet 1 port that acts as the WAN port.

The next thing i can try is to use the ISP's router(its a linksys one) and see if i am still getting a huge loss on the internet speed.

It seems as though something is connecting it to a vpn?!?! but what and why so slow?

It was a isp issue. They assigned me a wrong ip address

Thanks I'll take a look, never used a DAC cable hence the question

or om3 cables with transiever sfp+

 

[jonneymendoza]

Do I need it was the queston. I'm sure it is a good price!
Maybe I could use it at a later date for my upgrade to 25 or 100GB internet but I fear I'll be dead before I see or need those speeds, however 2.5GB for faster AP's in the near future makes more sense just to get what is needed.

Just get it!

LinITX is the biggest importer in the UK. I normally get mine from Getic in Latvia because they’re cheaper in volume.

Got my RB5009 from LinITX, great company to deal with

Same. Brilliant company
