Hey all,
I am currently running into issues conning to my WAN. Here is my current setup with my settings for KE0BCQ-1.

So far I been able to get the mesh to communicate with each other without any major issues. The only issue I am running into now is I am unable to connect to the internet from my home computer on KE0BCQ-2. Does anyone have any tips or ideas of what might be causing this?
Thanks,

Fixed the link thanks, for letting me know!
Hi, Adam:
Nice artwork.
I'd like to see a screen capture of KE0BCQ-1/status.
Especially showing the 'WAN address' and 'gateway'.
If you are running AREDN firmware on the LHGs, you may need AREDN firmware on the RB952s, too.
Your artwork did not display a 'node name' for the RG952s, so I assumed that AREDN firmware is not on them.
On the other hand, I think you could have omitted AREDN firmware and set that equipment up using RouterOS.
Lastly, I see no purpose to the 'Switch'. The RB952's WAN port can go directly to your internet source.
I hope this helps,
Chuck
Hey Chuck,
Here are the photos I think you are talking about:
I am currently only running the AREDN firmware on the dishes, the routers currently have RouterOS on them. The switch is for testing and other computers on my network.
Thanks,

Hi, Adam:
You do not have a WAN connection.
Your screenshot of your /status page indicates so.
And, I am unfamiliar with your equipment path toward the 'Internet' cloud image.
The ISP/internet connection should first see a WAN port on a router (could be your RB952).
Then your switch would connect to a LAN port of that router, if you needed more than the standard 3 or 4 LAN ports.
A typical internet connection would come from a DSL, cable, or fiber modem or modem/router combo.
Your artwork does not show a modem or modem/router.
I am not familiar with RouterOS and this is not the forum for using RouterOS as a typical internet/WAN on-premise router.
For assistance in this forum, the Mikrotik RB952s would need to be running AREDN firmware.
Unless you are planning to create a new or join an exiting AREDN network,
I recommend you use RouterOS on all 4 Mikrotik devices.
I hope this helps,
Chuck
