Re: Routerboard 500 series failure?

A 14dBi omni has a pretty narrow beamwidth so AP antenna height may be a factor. However, you are saying some work and some don't within the same areas so that probably isn't the issue.

Re: Routerboard 500 series failure?

What frequency are you using?
What are you using as the AP antenna?
What type of antennas are the clients using?
What is the signal strength that the client is seeing and what is the distance?

I'm looking for benchmark comparisons betweent he two. If an RB230 is behind an AP doing queuing and forwarding, will it be faster/slower than a 532? How about in core routing implementation at higher data throughput? The CPU architecture is completely different but that should not affect a benchmar...

I'm primarily concerned with stability and range for AP use. The extra cost of the SR2 is not a big deal for an AP. implementation.

RB532A vs RB230 performance?

Is there some documents that show the performance differences between the RB532A and RB230? The RB230 has a lot more memory but what about thoughput performance, CPU util, etc?

sr9 and client distance

What are folks seeing with regard to distance and throughput with the SR9 900MHZ? Will these go 5-6 miles through a few trees (a few trees about mid way and a few more around the clients house)?

Which 400mW is best - Atheros or Senao?

I'm looking for some input as to the best 400mW B/G card. I was considering the following:

NMP-8602 Senao A/B/G
ubiquiti sr2-80211BG Atheros based

What's the performance difference between the two? Any issues with either?

RB230 and RB44g?

For the RB230, which PCI card is recommended: RB44 or RB44G? There are about the same price so I thought the RB44G would be the best choice. Are there any benefits of one over the other with the RB230?

Hi Janisk. There really isn't enough info to understand the packetflow with regard to the MT OS implementation. That's why there are so many questions. The very basic examples in the manual are not enough. Folks have been asking for more info on QOS for a long time. It would be nice if we could get ...

I want to add two virtual APs to a wireless interface. One will be a Hotspot and the other for normal access for users that are fulltime customers. Since the real AP will be present in addition to the two virtual APs, is it best just to hide the real AP SSID and add WEP encryption so it can no be ac...
