LinITX Blog

One of the most common troubleshooting questions we get asked at LinITX, often involves customers wondering why their original UAP/UAP-LR/UAP-PRO “will not work”. Whether this is a problem with adopting, upgrading or applying settings to an existing network, it’s normally solved by ensuring your UniFi Network Controller Software is the correct version (V5.6.42).

Something out of this world just happened at the LinITX offices this morning. We’ve just seen something strange hovering in our cloudy Suffolk skyline, many of our staff thought they’d seen a UFO, but it soon became clear it was the new AmpliFi Alien Gigabit WiFi 6 Gigabit Router.

An official UK release date has not been announced, but we hope to see this landing on our shores sometime in the first half of 2020.

MikroTik today announced the public release of their long awaited update to the highly successful RouterOS Operating System. The release of “v7 Beta 1” was announced to a resounding applause from the audience gathered at their MikroTik User Meeting being held in Moscow, Russia.  Naturally we immediately downloaded a copy and installed it onto a RB4011 we had in our lab. The upgrade went flawlessly and we soon discovered the interface was very similar to before. Access was tested using their Winbox tool (v3.19) and we observed that the Linux Kernel had been upgraded and that the core Routing Engine replaced.  There were also some interesting new commands only visible when using the CLI, such as a possible Easter Egg “/routing fantasy” which was also humorously referred to in a Tweet by MikroTik later in the day.

Many customers ask us questions such as “Should I cloud host my UniFi controller?” and “Do I need a hardware UniFi controller?”. There is no right or wrong answer to these questions as much of it comes down to the specifics of the job.

If you are installing UniFi equipment for your end users then a cloud based solution is a great answer. You can manage multiple sites for multiple customers all in one place. Some distributors and resellers even offer their own cloud-hosted options, but these carry an annual cost as well as admin fees. It is not as hard to host your own Controller as you might think, and you can get the software for free from the Ubiquiti website.

If you need to create a new folder in MikroTik RouterOS, you have probably navigated to the Files menu and looked for a ‘create new folder’ button. Then not finding one, you’ve Googled to find out what command to use to create a folder.

I’ll save you the effort of looking… there isn’t one!  The only search results that come up explain how to use ftp or sftp to create a folder that way.  All very complicated and messy.
