Mikrotik не подключается apple

Исправляем проблему с подключением некоторых устройств по WiFi к роутеру MikroTik

Имеем роутер MikroTik hAP lite classic (RB941-2nD) и проблему: некоторые устройства не подключаются по WiFi, при этом в логах ошибка «disconnected, received disassoc: sending station leaving (8)».

Вот все действия, которые я предпринял, что бы устранить эту проблему:

1. Увеличил пул IP адресов для большего количества подключаемых устройств. Для этого зайдите в настройках роутера (лучше использовать WinBox) IP ->Pool ->во вкладке Pools дважды клацните на строку с именем «default-dhcp» (если настройки стандартные) -> в появившемся окошке в строке Addresses увеличте диапазон, например 192.168.88.100-192.168.88.254
   
2. Выключил tkip в Security Profiles WiFi интерфейса. Для этоко заходим в Wireless -> вкладка Security Profiles -> дважды клацните на строку с именем «default» -> в открывшемся окне во вкладке General отметки должны стоять только напротив «WPA2 PSK» и двух пунктов «aes com» (всё как на скриншоте ниже)

   

3. Включил WMM. Там же в Wireless -> вкладка WiFi Interfaces -> дважды клацаем на строку с именем «wlan1» -> в открывшемся окне вкладка Wireless -> если слева есть кнопка «Advanced Mode», то нажмите её, если кнопка «Simple Mode», то читаем дальше 🙂 -> находим пункт WMM Support и выставляем ему «enabled» (для удобства скриншот ниже)
   
4. Включил канал только с частотой 20MHz. В этом же окне Wireless -> вкладка WiFi Interfaces -> строка «wlan1» -> вкладка Wireless -> пункт Channel Width выставьте «20 MHz».
5. Включил в Data Rates все режимы скорости. Wireless -> вкладка WiFi Interfaces -> строка «wlan1» -> вкладка Data Rates -> выберите «configured» и поставьте отметки на все режимы скорости.
6. Есть ещё одна рекомендация, которая до кучи может помочь, это смена канала. Wireless -> вкладка WiFi Interfaces -> строка «wlan1» -> вкладка Wireless -> пункт Frequency выберите другую частоту (как выбрать правильный канал писал тут)

Надеюсь помог в вопросе подключения некоторых устройств (Apple устройства, WiFi розетки и другие WiFi устройства умного дома, пылесосы-роботы, другая бытовая техника с WiFi и подобное) к роутеру MikroTik по WiFi.

Mikrotik и Apple

1) Вас не смущает слово «beta» в названии прошивки?
1.1) рекомендую бета-прошивки не использовать. (Вы же не интегратор, который «выжимает» из железа всё больше и больше).
1.2) перейдите на стабильную прошивку и думаю по крайне мере на 50% сэкономите себе сил, времени и нервов

2) По рассказам всё это как понятно, но хотелось бы увидеть именно настройки вифи-адаптера в микротике
(а точнее, тип его значений, там параметров не мало, и порой каждый важен, и зависят они друг от друга).
Почему не показали их (настройки) ?
2.1) адресацию айфон получает
2.2) а шлюз, днс?
ничего не меняли ещё и в этом направлении?
2.3) а НАТ/Маскарад не трогали?
2.4) трассировка работает с айфона/с мака? (по IP и/или по имени)(на внешние узлы конечно)?

Информации мало, поэтому советы пока и такие — обобщённые и наугад.

Спасибо.
1. У меня это возникло как-то сразу. И такая ситуация на всех прошивках. Вот сейчас поставил 6.45.3 — то же самое
1.1. Учту, но пока не помогает
1.2. Перешел — ноль эмоций
2. Если скажите какие и как их выдать — выложу
2.1. Они все получают IP, но с компа из той же сети не пингуются
2.2. Шлюз и DNS не менял, хотя иногда замена DNS на пару секунд дает Интернет, но потом он пропадает
2.3. Это не трогал точно
2.4. Я просто не знаю, как сделать трассировку с айфона.

И появился еще вопрос, на этом Микротике есть USB порт. К нему можно подключить Wi-Fi свисток и рабоать через него?

Мда. всё тяжко.

1) данных настроек по ВиФи не вижу
2) Что у Вас там за конфиг? У Вас там что, режете часть сайтов? Прокся? IPv6 и файрвол на нём?
(я в шоке, у меня в организации на более мощном железе такова нет).
3) Я хочу напомнить, у Вас Свичь с функцией маршрутизатора, а не 8-16 ядерный проф.железка.
3.1) Ваш свитч хоть живой ? Нагрузка на CPU какая?
3.2) ААА-метароутер? Что Вы делаете на нём?
3.3) при настройки UPnP надо принимать внимание что условно локальное, а что внешнее,
если у Вас порты в бридже(не увидел какие и в каком), то тогда надо бридж — как логический
интерфейс описывать, а не каждый порт.
3.4) зачем NoIP DNS ? У Микротика есть служба/сервис CLOUD — присваивается постоянное имя роутеру,
и оно доступно всегда, при динамическом реальном (внешнем) адресе?

Mikrotik, WiFi и продукция apple

Вводная: После установки точки доступа фирмы Mikrotik через wifi работает все, кроме продукции уважаемой фирмы Apple (iphone, ipad, appleTV, iPod и прочего)

Решение: Так как проблем может быть несколько, то проверяйте по пунктам —

Включенный TKIP в настройках профиля безопасности — самая распространённая ошибка, так как на роутерах Mikrotik он включён по умолчанию. Проявляется при одновременной работе 802.11n и включенном TKIP. Тут всё просто — снимаем галочку с TKIP, оставляем AES.

Отключена поддержка WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) — если она отключена, то работать ничего не будет. Подробнее — https://support.apple.com/ru-ru/TS3727 (по умолчанию включена)

Запрет доступа на сайты + доступ по белому списку. Ошибка возникает при запрете доступа в частности к адресу www.apple.com/library/test/success.html

В устройствах apple не поддерживаются широкие каналы (40MHz) в сетях 2.4 — так что здесь всё просто, если вы используете диапазон 2.4Ghz, то не включайте широкие каналы 40Mhz. Используйте только 20Mhz

Возможны проблемы при ненастроенном (или неверно настроенном) времени на обеих устройствах — всё просто, на роутере включаете синхронизацию (через NTP или IP-Cloud), на apple-device либо выставляете нужное время, либо берёте с оператора

отключенный режим скорости в 11mb/s (и соответственно режима 802.11b) — неизвестно почему, но порой возникают проблемы при его отключении

После этих всех настроек всё равно не подключается? Попробуйте
1) «Забыть» настройки сетей на iphone,
2) Создать Virtual-AP и настроить её заново (желательно с новым профилем безопасности, но можете попробовать и старый) и добавить в один бридж с неработающей.

Также из раздела шаманства могут помочь следующие вещи —

• Смена канала wifi
• Обновление прошивки (и роутера, и устройства apple — для примера разница в работе 5 и 6 версии IOS очень существенна)
• Сброс и настройка «с нуля»
• Проверить, что включена галочка «Default Authenticate» и нет фильтрации по MAC`у
• Проверить, что в вашем DHCP-пуле есть свободные адреса
• Проверить уровень сигнала — если у вас он очень низкий, точка доступа находиться за тремя бетонными стенами или в 100 метрах от вас, то у меня плохие новости — может ВООБЩЕ не получится настроить
• Иногда помогает установить disconnect-timeout=15s (по умолчанию идет 3сек)
• Включить логи system logging add topics=wireless и посмотреть, что творится

I also had problems with Apple devices and MikroTiks, but they are now working fine. Let me ask you few questions.

1. What is your iOS version?
2. What is your RouterOS version?
3. What are your DHCP settings?
4. What are your wireless settings (probably most important)?

I can’t adjust two weeks to people wireless network.

Problems on all iPhones
Settings in tp-link standard. Just wi-fi with encoding of WPA2+AES
It is disconnected nothing, everything works
Normally messages come from Viber and Skype
With Mikrotik on problem wi-fi. That generally simply doesn’t connect, through half of second stops will be connected.
Byvavet writes the incorrect password, and through time is connected.
Was that doesn’t receive ip on the local area network.
I put back tp-link, everything works ideally.

I have few devices working with 3 mikrotik APs: iPad 1, iPad Mini, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 4S, iPhone 6S and iPhone 7. None of them is having any problems with working. There was a problem sometime ago, but after upgrading RouterOS and iOS it started to work properly.

So I believe it’s just a matter of proper settings.

Re: Mikrotik wi-fi and Iphone = problem

Thu Apr 13, 2017 9:58 am

we were able to find the problem. It is related to the DHCP lease time.
By default Lease time on the MikroTik DHCP Server is 10 minutes. The iPhone disconnects approx after 5-7 minutes (little more than half of the DHCP lease time).
On TP-link the lease time is 120 minutes and that is why the iPhone is connected a lot longer. If you lower the lease time on the TP-link also to 10 minutes then you will see that it also disconnects in 5-7 minutes.

The solution for this is to increase the DHCP Server lease time to a lot longer time and then iPhone will keep connection to the AP a lot longer.

Well i had problem with reconnecting iphone 6s plus in intervals about 30 seconds when screen is locked or disconnecting from wifi at random intervals. I experimented with different settings and finally i discovered that iphone dont like AMSDU Limit and AMSDU Treshold when set to default 8192. These both when set to 0, 256 or 4096 made stable connection with iphone and no more reconnects. I dont tryed with different values, feel free to experiment if you want. My device is hap ac, and here my config for wireless:

I followed your instruction about increasing Lease time.

If both SSIDs are good quality signal, most modern devices choose 5GHz for the speed.

Re: Mikrotik wi-fi and Iphone = problem

Thu Feb 08, 2018 7:40 pm

Hi Mikrotik Community,

I’ve problems with Mikrotik WIFI and Apple iOS devices.
At some of my customers they use a new Till System which is based on iOS.
So there is one «Master- Till» (iPad) running the Till- app with a Database and the client- devices like iPod touch, iPhone or iPad are connecting via wifi to the Database for accessing tables etc.
The connection is established via TCP port.

So when you start the app on the clients there’ll be a steady TCP connection established to the Master-Device.
This connection is sporadically breaking and then the clients can’t connect.
You have to wait till the timeout (10sec)’ll kick in or you need to restart the app.
That’s really annoying when you running a busy Bar/Restaurant.

Here is my Setup:
Running CAPsMAN on RB3011UIAS
multiple wAP_AC’s directly connected to a main-switch and then running to the CAPsMAN.
Newest FW (6.41.1) on all devices!
For testing activated only 5GHz, no other SSIDs, central bridging of all interfaces, no firewalling inbetween, only RSTP on switch an central bridge
—————-
Same with a hAP-ac (basic-config) with CAPsMAN and only the internal antennas assigned.

The client’s aren’t loosing the wifi link; you can still open websites in Safari etc.
Also run ping’s on master and all clients; there are no drops!
So what can be the issue?
Why is the TCP connection breaking all the time?
With some other brands they don’t have these issues (Aerohive, Apple Extreme. )
Even scanned the SSID’s around because of interferences/overlapping networks but the 5Ghz network is very clean

Is there any TTL setting for TCP connections on bridged or «client to client» forwarded connections?
only know the settings from «Connection Tracking» but this setting only affects traffic passing the Firewall.

Hopefully somebody knows the magic?

Re: Mikrotik wi-fi and Iphone = problem

Thu Feb 08, 2018 8:15 pm

Another test:
Connected the «Master- Device» running the database with an ethernet- adapter to the hAP_ac on eth3 and sniffed the traffic coming and going through.
Maybe somebody here is an expert reading these with wireshark
normal sniff while connecting all three devices:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mBjlm . oitWkttSXx

Sniff after one client (192.168.88.103) lost the connection to x.x.x.10 :
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dUCKK . RMKMOTPBMI

Sniff after one client (192.168.88.101) lost the connection to x.x.x.10:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uyE92 . YVd7Qi_gc_

Maybe it’s more an app issue?

192.168.88.10 is the Master-Device
192.168.88.101 Client 1
192.168.88.102 Client 2
192.168.88.103 Client 3

I believe this is some power-saving feature of iOS, because mikrotik cannot possibly know if device has screen on or off.
I don’t understand, how could this be a fault of Mikrotik, when iOS sends a disassoc/deauth frame. Maybe it did not happen with tp-link because tp-link don’t follow standards? (maybe — i cannot be certain but it is one of many possibilities)

Start logging your wireless info and you might figure out what is happening.

I have couple sites with «iphone problem» and some other sites that have apple products, but there is no problem, with the same hardware (wap or wap ac). The problem occurs randomly and present itself as «there is a phone connection to SSID, but there’s no internet». You can see sometimes «disassoc sending station leaving» in log. I use WPA2 only everywhere, DHCP lease is 24 hrs. Tried to disable RSTP, IGMP spoofing etc. Tried basically everything — problem is still there. With cheap soap routers like dlink\asus there is no problem, so it’s pretty hard to explain a customer why mikrotik is better there. Asked Uldis at Moscow MUM — he need specific data to reproduce in lab environment to deal with this stuff and I understand him, but the problem occurs randomly during the day and there’s nothing in log to report to support. And because of that one customer just asks for HP OfficeConnect AP instead of mikrotik, that’s sad.
Also there’s unresolved problem with Android TVs which keep losing lease and connectivity every 5 min.

If anyone want to dig my config here it is:

We stopped using Mikrotik for client wifi several years ago due to connection instability and weak signals vs other brands. We fought with it for a long time. Apple devices are especially troublesome.

We still use Mikrotik routers almost exclusively and Mikrotik radios for point to point wifi links though.

Also there’s unresolved problem with Android TVs which keep losing lease and connectivity every 5 min.

If anyone want to dig my config here it is:

I know it is old topic, but after many hours of struggle with 2 MacBook Pro not being able to get IP, complaining about IP already used by another device (when it’s not) I was able to solve the problem by changing protocol-mode from rstp to stp:

/interface bridge> print
Flags: X — disabled, R — running
0 R name=»bridge1″ mtu=1500 actual-mtu=1500 l2mtu=1526 arp=enabled
arp-timeout=auto mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX protocol-mode=stp
priority=0x8000 auto-mac=no admin-mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
max-message-age=20s forward-delay=15s transmit-hold-count=6
ageing-time=5m

Once changed, everything works like a charm.

For most if not all small Mikrotik setups no devices need any kind of STP and Wifi Radios certainly don’t if they are just access points for clients. xSTP is only needed in systems where there is the risk of a loop because there are multiple L2 paths in the system. I always set STP to None on my access points as a rule because it’s a redundant option and there’s always a risk of it causing problems.

Before anyone jumps up and down on this STP rule you always have to exercise some judgement. Single ethernet devices like a mAP or wAP are very safe to disable STP on the bridge. Devices like a cAP have some risk if eth1 and eth2 end up being plugged into the same switch, and RBx011 or hAPs always run the risk of a looped back ethernet cable.

I spent quite a bit of time looking at this, and I have found what repeatably works for me with the Apple products. I actually created this account to post this, as I thought it might help someone in the future.

Specifically, I was trying to connect an mAP to the wireless hotspot of an Apple iPhone X, and it just flat out didn’t work with mostly default settings. Two things needed to be done;

1. As mentioned here, RSTP just seems to piss the iPhone off. This one was actually harder for me to find, and I may have never found it without someone here mentioning it. It doesn’t really even make any sense why RSTP would be a problem at all (or related). Probably a really ugly bug/mis-interaction between Apple and Mikrotik’s implementations that makes something hilarious happen from a programmer’s perspective..

2. Turn RX/TX chain 1 off (use only chain 0). This disables some of the MIMO features of 802.11N. You could also try using 802.11B/G Mode instead of 802.11B/G/N but I haven’t tested that.

After doing those two things, I’m able to get 20Mbps through a single radio mAP simultaneously acting as a station and an AP sitting in between the iPhone hotspot. I have a pretty odd use case that makes this desirable, so it might not apply to everyone — but if you’re having trouble with an up to date Apple device (as of April 2020) try turning off the second Mimo chains. They are located in the HT menu under the wlan interface. Also, I had no problems with WMM. In this configuration I was able to pull 20Mbit/sec off the mAP (single 2.4Ghz radio) acting as a station to connect to the iPhone X hotspot, while simultaneously acting as an AP for my laptop. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

A note on Spanning Tree: You can use STP instead of RSTP, but might just as well turn it off when dealing with wireless links. DHCP comes over really slow when you have to go through the STP Blocking->Listening->Learning->Forwarding process, or times out entirely. Not a problem for advanced users or people who read this forum. But not tenable for general user population.
