Please, I need your help. Metarouter looses its config

Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:44 am

Metarouters on RB493AH and 450G randomly loose their configurations.
They stop passing traffic because their IP address are gone along with everything else.
The longest I have gone without a "memory lapse" is about 72 hours.

Can someone shed some light on this problem..?? Is anyone else having this problem...??

Additionally, I have not been able to back up the Metarouter configuration because the backup is too big for the assigned memory.

Can someone forward to me a procedure for backing up the Metarouter...... so at least I can restore the router from a file and not a bunch of hacking...!!

Thank you Esteemed MikroTik'rs..!!

I have had Meta Router lose their config a lot. It is a problem. One thing to try is keeping the memory assigned to the Meta Router on default size. I think new versions of 3.x should come out personally :). Is 4.x even stable?

Just ran a test with a Meta Router.
Configured it.
Everything working.
Rebooted and the Meta Router lost its config.
Memory was set at 30.
Router OS 3.30
Switched memory to 16 and switched power supply from 18v to 15v.
Reconfigured.
Rebooted and it lost the config again!

This is not working.
Any suggestions besides upgrading to 4.x?

Doesn't work, or works poorly as in earlier 4.x? I have found that nstreme works pretty well with 3.30 and wireless-test, but for some reason, 4.x gives really poor performance.

Works poorly in 4.x.

I never used the wireless-test package for nstreme, just for rts/cts

Another thread just indicated from a guy that it only happens in bridge mode. I was pretty certain it happened in ap bridge/station mode as well, maybe someone will test that.
