Hi, Any update regarding support of new intel ethernet cards like intel i210AT ? Populer on many embedded board and firewall barebones ? We're already send ticket id and autosuport file but not respond. /system resource pci> print # DEVICE VENDOR NAME IRQ 0 12:00.0 Intel Corporation unknown device (...

Wavelan

Anyone from MT can give enlightenment in this matter ?

Are mikrotik plan to release RB911G-5HPacD in board only form factor or Not ?
This information vital to us, in order to make decision about are we still using mikrotik product
or maybe go to competitor (powerbeam) approach.

Thx

See rb921 and rb922. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=86816#p436021 If you have case completely accurate for rb911 - there is additionally SFP slot Hi, its http://forum.mikrotik.com/download/file.php?id=17522 Seems fit the bill. Hope mikrotik released it as board only. Hope like se...

Hi mikrotik staff.

May i ask do you had plan to release RB911G-5HPacD (Board only) ?

We're plan to use our own enclosures and surge protector, and upgrading from rb911G-5Hnd/Rb911G-lite5 to AC version.

Thx

Hi normis,

May we ask RB911G-5nHd wireless chipset ?

The lan / processor chipset is AR9342, may i ask the wireles chipset ?

I'm asking because i'm plan to stock atheros chip for repair purposes.

IF you had repair procedure available for rb911G-5nHd, i would
more than grateful.

Thx

normis, but what do you say about my findings? could you test if this problem effects AP, Client or Both. Could you test in which cases you have problems? 1. AP v5.14, Client v6.1 2. AP v6.1, Client v5.14 3. AP v6.1, Client v6.1 Then tell us in which of those three cases the nstreme is working fine...

No news about the BGP route cache bug fix ? Sadly thinking in drop my CCR order, and get back to my linux box if can't get Mikrotik do the job. Any advice on this ?

frame-lifetime - how long to keep the packet (in cent seconds) for retransmition after the first trasmit attempt. 0 means unlimited (until the client disconnection). noise immunity - atheros hardware supports that so we just added this feature.

Dear Mikrotik Rep,

I'm seeing this Changelog in 3.0rc5:

*) made Multi-Link over single link work properly in PPTP & L2TP;

Are this mean 3.0rc5 supported MultiLinkPPP ?

If yes, please more information how to setup this configuration.

Thank you very much..

The 8602 is unmitigated, unrelenting, unreliable crap. It doesn't like cold, doesn't like work, doesn't like even the most minimial ESD. It is a pathetic excuse for a wireless card.

Wavelan

have you even tried it in earlier betas? the feature was already improved as promised

Not yet, the latest we try is BETA-3.

I would test BETA-4 soon though, but i'm think
the feature aren't improvised yet, because t
isn't mentioned in Changelog

High Regards,
Andrei

you can't get it yet

Are new feature related with CSMA disabled is included
in new beta ? Beta-5 ?

Dear Normunds, No new CSMA/CA related feature listed in Changelog.. Do CSMA/CA disabled feature unchanged from beta-3 ?

we have not yet seen a supout.rif with 3 CPUs showing, csickles ... as far as I have seen, it always reports correctly. If linux shows incorrectly, it's even better for us :) You have 2 CPUs and that's a fact, so it shows 2 CPUs Dear Normis, Have any news regarding BETA-4 ETA ? High Regards, Andrei

woudln't `backporting to 2.9` make 2.9 the same state as v3 is now?

beta4 is still being tested, maybe later this week. we will check for restart problems. what kind of platforms are they? x86 or RB?

Dear Normis,
Any Update for this issue ?

nstreme is not just about more bandwidth. it also does all of the things you are talking about in this topic. and about multiple nstreme2 links in one box - why not?

Dear Normis,

When the Beta-4 ETA ?

We found annoying issues, in BETA-3 :
- We cannot restart routeros reliably,
its hinder us to deploy Beta3 in semi production environment.

think interference :roll: from your interfaces Its, why we need synchronization in transmit , receive. Thinks, why Canopy could be used in array, located in adjacent space ? Answer ??? AP TX syncronization, they always transmit in the same time, and always receive in the same time. So no self gener...

Yes, frequency is nearly infinite, if you could tap to hundreds GHz freq, but its costly and have many drawbacks. IF we need more sectors / tower than avaiable frequency (, like wh...

Wavelan

yes, no problem.

But not yet have advanced feature like
TX synchronizing between sector antenna ?

Right, normis ?

Well some of the whitepapers did the following: Disable CSMA/CA Disable ACK timeouts Disable Retries (only if NStreme does that already) Shorten the inter-frame spacing / random backoff <-- No they disabled completedly the CSMA random backoff.

Wavelan

We added one more setting for this feature in the next beta (4), but there is nothing more to do. Please supply all further reports with some kind of test results, mystical whitepapers are not proving anything. Dear Normis, Could you elaborate more, what's new setting we could expect in beta-4 in c...

Wavelan

in theory, when there is so much noise, nothing can force the other end to receive clean data. it just is not possible, no matter what you do on your end. the interference will just be too high. Dear Normis, Seems many whitepaper circulating on the Net says the contrary to you. They said, and have ...

Wavelan

what did you expect, wonderbutton :) ? we just added the requested feature, it does what it is supposed to do. nobody knew what effect it would have Yes, it does. The theory says so, and we tried other products with similar feature "CSMA/CA disable" (that using atheros too), seems have co...

did some quick testing last night (indoors).... results not very encouraging.

Might be getting somewhere. Did an upgrade on a WRAP to beta2 with two AR5211 cards. We use no-radar-detect on the AP side.
