Recently we had the opportunity to investigate some polling and telemetry issues on some poorly connected MikroTiks with high latency, packet loss and intermittent accessibility. That got me thinking, what counters exist to understand this behavior and how can Admiral…
Tracking Down Random Reboots on the hAP ax S. In this episode of Bridge Mode, Marc and Tyler Casey of DM Tech get into a challenging discovery that points to a bug on a certain model of MikroTik.
Connecting a Child MikroTik Behind a Parent MikroTik (No Direct Internet Access)
https://youtu.be/dAq4-usywxU In part two of Episode 4, Tyler Casey of DMTech walks Marc through a discovery that has been quietly wrecking Wi-Fi for MikroTik operators — and doing it in a way that's almost impossible to catch unless you know…
Blank Backups in Admiral Platform? Your MikroTik SSH Host Key May Be Corrupt If your MikroTik backups are showing up blank in Admiral Platform, one possible cause is a corrupt SSH host key on the MikroTik itself. We recently helped…
Admiral Platform continues to evolve with a focus on making MikroTik and network infrastructure management faster, cleaner, and easier at scale. Over the last few months, we’ve released several improvements across logging, WatchTower, router discovery, Router Health, historical tracking, and…
Over the last year, I’ve noticed something happening more and more often while working on MikroTiks: I go to use a perfectly normal troubleshooting or operations tool — RoMON, Bandwidth Test, Ping Speed, Traffic Generator, maybe even something tied to…
We've recently shipped two features that make it significantly easier to monitor fleet health and troubleshoot issues across your deployment. Uptime Report You'll now find a dedicated Uptime Report under Reports > Uptime Report. This page gives you a clear picture…
One of our recent on-premise Admiral customers told us something we hear a lot: Admiral is incredible at centralizing the health and status of hundreds of MikroTik routers and switches—but he wished he had the same visibility, alerts, and notifications…
https://youtu.be/N4MYEXsuNp0 We’re excited to officially launch Introduction to Mastering MikroTik — a practical, real-world training built to help you move from following tutorials to designing resilient networks with intention. Why we built this class Mastering MikroTik isn’t about memorizing commands. It’s about understanding how the pieces…
NETWORK ENGINEER TIP As part of building the VXLAN class, one of our engineers put together a useful helper script to streamline the process. It’s worth noting that this script is intended for transport links that use a /29 addressing scheme…
As we built our MikroTik VXLAN class for Admiral Academy, one deliverable mattered as much as the curriculum itself: a lab environment that was powerful, safe, and frictionless for students anywhere in the world. To make the training truly hands-on,…
NETWORK ENGINEERING GUIDE A comprehensive guide to selecting the right MikroTik switches and routers for hardware-accelerated VXLAN deployments—from budget lab setups to terabit-scale ISP cores. One of the greatest strengths of MikroTik routers, switches, and access points is that nearly…
Script Commander, is a new feature on Admiral Platform designed to give you better control over your MikroTik network — without the manual headaches. When managing dozens, hundreds, or thousands of MikroTiks, repetitive tasks like VLAN changes, firewall updates, DHCP…
When Networks Fail — It’s Rarely the Hardware Your routers aren’t broken — your design is.Most network failures in MikroTik environments trace back to misconfigurations at the architecture level: MTU mismatches, OSPF errors and misconfigurations, and missing redundancy. At Admiral, we’ve seen this…
At Admiral, we’re always looking for ways to make your dashboard smarter, faster, and more complete. This month, we’re rolling out a brand-new feature inside the EXTRAS tab: Neighbors — your network visibility just got a whole lot clearer. Meet…
This weekend I decided to “level-up” my home Wi-Fi by mixing in some new MikroTik AX gear with my existing AC setup. I figured it would be a straightforward upgrade—newer radios, faster speeds, better everything. In reality? It turned into…
Build redundancy, resiliency, and scalability into your network — the Admiral way. When networks fail, it’s rarely because of bad luck — it’s because of bad design.At Admiral Academy, we’ve spent years operating and supporting MikroTik networks at scale for ISPs,…
At Admiral Platform, we’re always listening to network operators who depend on accurate performance data — especially those participating in government-funded broadband programs like RDOF, CAF, and BEAD. One of our customers asked us: "What if Admiral could run automated…
How Internet Service Providers use Admiral Endpoints to Monitor Linux Servers and Ubiquiti Wave LR When networks fail, it’s rarely an instant collapse — it starts with slow-growing issues like a disk creeping toward full capacity, CPU usage spiking under…
