Re: Supplying power to equipment on tower installs?

i would not do that, because you need more thick and expensive cable for that. And there is the added complexity of wiring all the equipment there. And what do you do if you need more than 100mbit up there? Use gigabit? A gigabit switch is more expensive than two or three cat5e ftp runs, that's for ...

Re: Supplying power to equipment on tower installs?

shortest coax cable possible (1, max 2 meters), separate poe with ftp cable. No poe switch because that's a single point of failure in case of improper grounding and power-related mistakes. That's the cheapest, most performant and reliable solution, because ftp cable is cheaper than low-loss coax, a...

Re: 802.11n

same opinion here. I don't wanna say that mikrotik n is crap, but it has quite a long way to go to be reliable. Maybe is not the right place to say that, but i think ubnt got it pretty right for now. However, i am still waiting for the nstreme2 implementation using n from mikrotik. It would be usefu...

Re: 802.11n

try a tcp test. Put some real-world traffic through the link.

Re: How do I set routerboard for end user equipments to use UDP

do you have any firewall rules on any rb-s on the path? Maybe that is blocking your udp packets.

Re: 802.11n

no, that was the speed at which they wirelessly connected. Real throughput is about 60mbit, lower than a dual nstreme link.
So don't expect them to perform cpu-wise at the level of a rb 433ah or 600, however, wirelessly, they are miles ahead of r52n as far as i can see.

Re: 802.11n

me too. However, one thing is strange. I put two NS M5 on the same places and guess what? They work flawless, connected at 216mbps. One of them is without a dish, and the other is strapped with a wire over the feed of the 1.5m dish used to test r52n. Maybe the tx-power can be an issue? I saw that th...

Re: 802.11n

Same problem here. I have a 18km link with 70m height, 35dbi 1.2 dish antennas on both sides with dual-polarity feeds. r52n. x86 p4@1.5ghz, cpu load ~25%, no irq conflicts, using rb14. The link works only from time to time. I have a lot of "extensive data loss" and "not polled for too...
