So looking at my routing table, the highlighted one is my route for the Mikrotiks (to the other house). Im assuming I need to somehow change the other 3 maybe via the CLI when I need to force it to the other side all traffic wise? Sounds like maybe just remove all of them when it happens, and...

The SXTs are not Routers, they are simply Wireless APs in a sense. They are capable of routing as most Mikrtotiks are but not using that here. Im simply using it as a means to connect the two houses which are above 650ft apart with higher powered focused antennas. So essentially they are just...

The route right now is added in the LAN/Route tab of the Asus. So for example for the 1750 Asus, under LAN/ Route, I have a single route that states: Network/HostIP=192.168.2.0, Netmask=255.255.255.0, Gateway=192.168.0.50, Interface=LAN. For the 2744 Asus, its basically the same route with the...

We tried this awhile ago but not usable for us here mainly because this link is also used to access each others internal LAN network for other purpose. With Dual WAN on failover, when the main WAN link/ISP is up, it doesnt allow any traffic across the secondary WAN setup, I believe also it...

High level here is my network breakdown between two house. I basically have two Mikrotik SXT antennas that allow me to keep the two houses connected and do that by running a static route on each respective Asus Router. So for 1750 side, I have a static route setup like this...

Alright I figured this out. Turns out the issue was due to WinSCP. I used that initially to login to the Asus router (both exampled) and created the ddns-start file and added the script language in there and edited it from there. I did this in the past when I did the firewall-start script and...

I was using the Asus DDNS for awhile and never had much issues with the exception that Asus servers end up being down alot more than in the past. So was looking around and noticed the CUSTOM option supports Google Domains and dynamic dns. So I setup a dynamic dns name on my private google...

And finally found the last one, it was the "File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)" rule. Once I changed the scope of the IP range from local subnet to extend the range slightly, that fixed it. Guess Windows 2012, 2012R2, even Windows 2016 server didn't have this rigid of a firewall rule set...

I believe I have figured this out, after doing a lot of trial and error, turns out there is a specific "scope" setting under the following rule "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" Here is what it was set to: You can see bottom part shows local subnet, that's why it refused...

Okay I may have been mistaken, I turned off firewall on the Windows10 box again and this time I could ping and get to the file share. I cant seem to figure out what on the Windows10 box (what rule it is) that is preventing this even though its on the same routed network. Its definitely the...

I have two houses and we have them connected via a PTP (Mikrotik) wireless network. Here is a good idea of how the network looks like. You can disregard some of the devices at the bottom, recently changed my APs to eero's (setup as bridge mode only). But gives you an idea of how its setup...

I concur, I have no issues hitting this in and out. I have Uverse Gigabit Fiber, and I get 959 Mbps down and 942Mbps up. http://beta.speedtest.net/result/5195463796 Dixit

Appreciate the info. I need to look into those then. I was actually not aware that Apples airports supported all those protocols for handoff. I just never really looked at those initially because I felt originally they were overpriced and their performance was fairly poor to other devices...

Understood, sorry, as mentioned in another thread, I guess Im a victim of the marketing buzz words like MESH. Dixit

So Im probably a victim of that marketing then, MESH maybe isn't what I want to look at term wise. I really want something that gives me commercial level handoff like an Aerohive or Meraki APs. But I don't want to spend near $1000 per AP for their dual band higher end APs. Unifi isn't there...
