Re: [AFMUG] OT Hiring

[Timothy Steele]

Sadly it's most likely people on unemployment not showing up as the law
requires you to show proof of submitting resumes but not interviews to stay
on unemployment


Then you get the people who are forced to apply for jobs they don't want by
their wife or parents

Re: [AFMUG] VoIP QoS on Ubiquiti

[Timothy Steele]

VOIP traffic shaping is baked into the AirMax Protocol

with LTU I would think its the same but be sure you are on the latest beta
as they just added traffic shaping to LTU

Twilio CRM plugin it would cross-match the number with the account and you

Yes it's a brand new WISP owner only

he was asking if I can get CPI Trained but I'm not even in the states right

from what I was reading on it sounds like the CPI needs to be on-site and
supervise the install

Re: [AFMUG] Apple upgrade times out

[Timothy Steele]

if you are giving them real 20Mbps no Bursting

and they don't have packet drops or local wifi interference to their router

then I have read that MAC's will time out on updates due to the MAC going
to sleep
setting the sleep timer to a few hours or even never might help

Re: [AFMUG] Ot: covid tracing

[Timothy Steele]

I'm currently visiting the Philippines and in the city I'm in (thankfully
far away from manila) you are not allowed outside unless you wear a mask
with a plastic face shield over the mask

the city I'm in has 60 cases and recovering and the city is fully open

wearing a mask works but only if everyone is wearing it

even if its only you wearing the mask you are at least reducing the amount
of the virus going into your system

[AFMUG] Giving Away an interference Google sheet I spent 1k on for free

[Timothy Steele]

Hello All,

I paid an engineer around $1K to make this google sheet we use internally
that seems to be helping

it's limited to 400 Devices right now due to database limitations

but after you fill in all the data it will tell you what AP's are creating
self-interference here is a screenshot

[image: image.png]


I decided to give it to any WISP that wants it for FREE
all I ask is that you send me an email at t...@wispconsult.com
with your Gmail address you want it shared to

I will Make a Copy and share it with you then you can copy it to your own
Google Drive

Excited to see how much farther others can take this

Re: [AFMUG] Android Tablet CPU Speeds

[Timothy Steele]

ok, I will give the real answer before saying buy a used iPad

The Pixel5 you have has 8GB of ram and that tablet only has 3GB of ram
running bigger versions of everything
top that with a much worse MediaTek CPU in the  Samsung over the better
snapdragon in the Pixel5
and the better GPU in the pixel 5

That is why the tablet is slow

That being said iPad tight hardware-software integration allows for much
lower RAM and better GPU RDP will run much smoother even on an older iPad

I was a die-hard android fan for years but as of late unless you have a
flagship android device at the $700 or more price point they all have added
spam including even Oppo (same as one plus) and lower-end Samsung devices
which are probably also adding to your poor experience

Re: [AFMUG] DFS Hits El Paso Area

[Timothy Steele]

my company is doing overnight wireless network monitoring and proactive
channel changes for a number of WISPs
across the U.S

I can say the whole state of Texas and L.A CA are the 2 worst areas I have
seen DFS hits

aside from military bases ducting also seems to affect it along with
weather stations

you can see a ducting radar here https://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html

[AFMUG] UISP 1.4.4 taking down networks if LTU devices

[Timothy Steele]

are there still any WISPs on this list that are mostly UBNT??

Reports coming from multiple WISPs if you have LTU devices and upgrade to
UISP 1.4.4
it can take your whole network down

https://community.ui.com/questions/Catastrophic-Failure-of-Entire-Network-After-1-4-4-Upgrade/3ee4d466-5c54-43e0-b65c-3ed24112e562

I can name 20 other bugs in 1.4.x I'm working with them on

but just wanted to make sure everyone had a fair warning for 1.4.4 and LTU

[AFMUG] cnMaestro not onboarding some AP's

cnMaestro not onboarding some AP's

I have a WISP Client that is having issues with cnMaestro

he has 100's have AP's and SM's added but like 5 AP's that will not add

I have heard of an NTP issue for some but they have the same NTP info

and these units are getting the time and date from GPS, not the NTP

Does anyone know how I can get them working?

Re: [AFMUG] QB for billing

[Timothy Steele]

I would go with UNMS for billing at least until you get the client base you
need to upgrade to sonar

sure your are probably more Cambium then Ubiquiti but UNMS/CRM with the
Mikrotik Plugin can't really be beat

unless you are looking for radius and PPPOE support then plan to make some
custom plugins
but that is what makes UNMS grate is if it can't do something you can make
it do it with a plugin

but that

Re: [AFMUG] UBNT GPS

[Timothy Steele]

Sync works but you have to follow same guidelines as any other

You can only sync radios that are back to back

Make sure The AP's using the same channel can not hear each other in a site
survey

Make sure your separation of the AP's on the same channel are good enough
so your clients don't see both AP's at the same time

Re: [AFMUG] Intuit & Billing

[Timothy Steele]

sign up for stripe

Then setup UISP

you don't need to use any Ubiquiti devices to use a self-hosted UISP CRM
especially not if you don't want any of the fancy stuff it dose

really the best truly FREE option

if you want to pay then I would go with Sonar

if you want to pay a ton then powercode

Re: [AFMUG] OT employee location tracking

If they have work phones you can enable location sharing in google maps
that's a free way


Also can hide tiles or apple air tags in the install vans

Re: [AFMUG] Started a WISP discord server

[Timothy Steele]

it allows categories and subcategories

I have it set up like a forum

Discord is becoming the new go-to app for forums even for large companies
such as quasar https://quasar.dev/
their Discord chat is used more than their forum

so that's where the idea came from for me at least

Re: [AFMUG] mass GPS issues

[Timothy Steele]

according to this website
https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2019-04-05/gps-rollover-global-positioning-system-receivers-satellites/10966218

Then there's Russia's GLONASS, which eschewed the week number and used a
"day number" instead.

It resets every four years, with the next due on New Year's Day, 2020.

Apple Blocks wifi scans from apps so there is no good wifi analyzer for iOS

I would recommend a cheap android with Wi-Fi man on it to keep on the truck

if you are not a fan of Ubiquiti there are 100's of others to pick from on
android

Re: [AFMUG] mytax illinois inaccessible to NAT customers

[Timothy Steele]

I can't get to that website and I'm out of the country may be a DNS server
or WAN IP you purchased from someone else and it resolves to outside the
U.S?

I have a public WAN with google DNS

 We have been having issues where customers that are NAT (double NAT)

 with security of the site and the double NAT. Changing to a public IP
 resolves it, so its not a huge issue. We see that it appends a _/ to the

 Is there anything else a guy can do aside from going to all publics? We
 dont do CG NAT because our ratio isnt all that high and we just got more

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Corona-fu (was UBNT stock)

[Timothy Steele]

I'm living in asia right now (philippines)

they are going to extremes to contain the virus no you can't believe what
china is saying but I do believe what I'm seeing

we just took a vacation to cebu for our anniversary

when you go to the airport they check your temperature even for
domestic before you get to the terminal
and check again before you get on the flight

resorts and hotels have to check your temperature before they let you walk
in even if just to eat inside

if you want to go into a bigger crowded areas  like whale watching you have
to get all you vitals checked and get stamped that you don't have the virus

in bohol nurses are getting infected

U.S citizens in china post on social media of police installing metal bars
on doors of anyone's home that refuse to quarantine at the hospital

as I'm a foreigner I'm not allowed to fly in or out any part of china hong
kong or taiwan until the virus travel ban is over


I don't mean to scare anyone just sharing truths I'm not that scared of the
virus as its just a new strain of the flu and I'm still young

if I was older I would be scared as a flu shot will not help you with this
yet and the is a mask shortage so your own doctor or nurse and infect you

in the U.S though there are so few that have it and hospital resources are
so high there is nothing to really worry about there


but in asia where good hospitals are hard to find most houses don't have
proper showers nurses are out of masks its standard for kids to live with
grandparents
that can easily get sick and the flu is not common here as its always hot
so the immune system is not really ready for it

it is a very scary virus in asia but I don't see it being much of an issue
in the U.S

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Corona-fu (was UBNT stock)

[Timothy Steele]

Spread through the air is fake news

You need a projectile to hit you or touch the projectile

If you have good hygiene and  sanitize  your hands often you should be okay

They are doing research if it can spread by feces but are not sure


There is a 14 day incubation process so they are checking you temp but also
keeping an eye on you if you are coughing or spiting or showing any other
symptoms

For a virus to spread you normally need to have at least a slight fever no
one knows if that is fake news from China or not

Because it's so hot here if you had a slight fever you would never notice
it unless someone told you

I think people saying you can get it through the air came from a nurse got
infected through her eyes when she was wearing a mask

 But she was hit by a projectile by someone infected directly

It was not just in the air

[AFMUG] End users contacting Provider consultants

So I just had an odd experience


an end-user contacted me via my website wispconsult.com

she used my site chat to leave her phone number said she had a network
issue and to call her

I called back within 15min and left a voice mail I also sent her an email

she then sends me an email 10 minutes later yelling saying my site says
24hrs her internet is down and I have not replied in 2 days

Then Asked her to contact her provider


So if any of you have a Karen with the first half of her email address
being *finkeland Than her service is down*

[AFMUG] Tower climbing license

[Timothy Steele]

Company I work for had a tower on the border of Tennessee and NC company is
in NC tower is on the TN side

It's a TV station tower top of a mountain only 100ft tower but told it's
required to have a tower climbing license and certificate to climb this

[AFMUG] Moving Mikrotik Config from old firmware to new firmware

[Timothy Steele]

We Have a Mikrotik CloudCore Router running very old firmware (From 2015)
I have been tasked with getting the config with the latest stable firmware


I Have a Mikrotik on my test bench same model as the one in use

when I export the config I get lots of errors when I try to import the
config with the router that has the new firmware


Also, I'm told that still does not copy the full config even if that does
work



can anyone please tell me how to back a full config back and restore that
full config back to a backup Mikrotik same model but newer firmware?



I'm not using the Backup and restore option as I'm not that will copy the
MAC from the old router

 Each home needs a drop.
 So you have to connect the drop to either a splitter or an SFP.

 With AE you will have to power the switch but then  you have no shared

 That's the main reason, and it branches into upgradeability. If a new
 30-house subdivision appears in a field a few miles from your headend, and
 you have a spare 10 strands going out there, you only need to use 2-3
 strands instead of running new 48-strand cable the whole way.

I read through that case there sueing more to get out of there contract

Anyone know anything more about NTC laws for Philippines? I'm trying to get

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Best free anti-virus software.

[Timothy Steele]

Malwarebytes is about the only thing I trust


if you have windows it comes with a free anti virus


the best thing is to use Chrome OS

Ubuntu is less likely to get a virus unless you're targeted

or go MAC


Basically, use anything but windows if you don't want a virus

Re: [AFMUG] customers renting their own public IP / Nord VPN

[Timothy Steele]

the best solution is to buy some more IPv4 space

a quick google search found this

https://www.ipv4auctions.com/

just make sure your charging customers right for the IP space


I have heard rumors if you are doing IPv6 dual Stack you can buy more ipv4
space don't know how true that is..

Re: [AFMUG] customers renting their own public IP / Nord VPN

[Timothy Steele]

https://www.arin.net/resources/request_ipv4.html

Micro-allocation (NRPM 4.4 )

ARIN will make IPv4 micro-allocations to critical infrastructure providers
of the Internet, including public exchange points, core DNS service
providers (e.g., ICANN-sanctioned root and ccTLD operators) as well as the
RIRs and IANA. These allocations will be no smaller than a /24. Multiple
allocations may be granted in certain situations.

[AFMUG] Mikrotik Pass Enabled Public in Route List to Eth8 how

[Timothy Steele]

OK so I'm trying to learn this Mikrotik stuff

I posted this on the Mikrotik forums a few days ago with no reply's

We have Public IP's that we enable in the route list and I think it sends
for proxy arp to Bridge to a sort of 1:1 NAT  (the guy who set this up
quite)

and this works fine when we go to a clients house and install a
Mikrotik and make a bridge


My issue is we Have a Server on eth8 on the WAN Cloud Core router

All I want to do is bridge a Public to eth8 but can't seem to be able to
get it to work

I enabled the public IP in the Route List and gave it the gateway of eth8
instead of the NAT IP as the gateway like all the others


it says reachable and not bridge reachable like the other working ones

do I need to create a Bridge?


Thanks,

[AFMUG] Amplifi Teleport over Mikrotik EOIP

[Timothy Steele]

So The Amplifi Forum is a joke

and the Mikrotik forums seems to just ignore me


I'm leaving the country for a few months and So I got a Amplifi with a
teleport to place at our remote office well i'm out so I don't have to poke
holes in our VPN Firewall


the issue is our Office is remote and run over Mikrotik EOIP

to get us on our main network


in the amplifi I disabled UpNp and used a custom port and allowed the ports

but it's still not working


if any of you have experience with this that would be awesome

Re: [AFMUG] Emergency Contact for LinkTech guys?

As I agree I don't run this company, the company runs 100 % remote and by
emails only we don't even allow clients to call

Surprisingly the business model has worked really good so far

[AFMUG] Doing repetitive remote jobs cheap

[Timothy Steele]

if anyone needs repetitive work done remotely such as

PRTG Data entry

UNMS Migration from AC2

Billing server Migration such as UCRM or other

scanning clients for issues and alert you who needs repairs before they
call in

After hours email support

Search possible fixes for problem child clients

(this is not an advertisement just looking for side jobs)

I understand tasks like the ones mentioned are not worth paying your
network admin for doing them

So I am offering to do them at a low rate

Email me directly for more details

over 10 years of WISP experience
can find me on the UBNT forum as 900mhzdude
