So, I'm keen to swap in my mikrotik in place of the genius router. Has anyone done this specifically with a mikrotik?

have seen this: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=82&topicid=107361

Any Mikrotik gurus out there?

My rb433 wont do VLAN tagging on a switch, but can on bridged ports

I haven't yet tried connecting the Mikrotik onto the ONT. Will the mikrotik get dhcp from it? Although I've played a lot with the mikrotik over the past year or so, vlans isn't something i've had a chance to work with.

I used to have it running as a pptp server that my iphone could log into, except pptp passthrough is not possible on the genius due to it's "already pre configured to bridge mode"

done

in a nutshell:

defaulted the mikrotik
added a static ip to port3 (this is lan-side) and created a password so i can configure it
setup the wireless card (country, frequency, password ...)
added a vlan interface with id 10, asigned to ether1 (wan side)
added dhcp client to the vlan interface which got an address immediately
created a 'home' bridge and added ether3 and the wireless card
added a local ip address and dhcp server to the home bridge
added firewall rule to nat masq

at which point it's done and working

took me a bit longer than usual as i was trying to make use of it's Quick Set option which broke a bunch of stuff and caused conficts elsewhere whereas i was hoping to tweak the settings it filled out.

*bump*

I've got myself a bit closer to having WAN on the Mikrotik with working VoIP on the Genius:

Created a vlan tagged with id10 on port2 of the mikrotik
Gave it its own ip address/range
Added dhcp server to the new vlan
Added a route

With the genius connected to port2 I see it getting assigned DHCP and the internet light comes on but the phone light keeps flashing orange. I've tried to DMZ it but this seems no good. Running a shields-up scan I can see all traffic is going to the genius so not sure why the VoIP can't connect. I've probably done the DMZ wrong ... dstnat

Any ideas?

couple of further notes

dst-nat sip to the genius if you're not dmz'ing it, eg:
/ip firewall nat
add action=dst-nat chain=dstnat connection-type=sip src-address=60.234.18.111 to-addresses=["wan" ip of the genius]

[phonenumber]@sip1.orcon.net.nz with your base64 decoded password as per this subforums sticky loaded as an account in the free sip software "Blink" works, but you can't have more than one device logged in.
