We had a bad storm here over the weekend that took out one of our RB600A's. We can't see any damage to it, but it won't come on at all even with a power supply plugged in directly. Is there a certain diode or anything that could be replaced that might fix it? Thanks ahead of time.

jcrites2008

It's on roc-noc.com now. Not in stock yet, but it has a price of $89.99 for the non-gigabit one. Yikes! That seems a little high to me, but it is a higher power router I guess. I was hoping the gigabit one would be around that price though. Edit: It says on the product page that the pricing is just ...

jcrites2008

Tom, do you know anything about the availability for the RB2011? Thanks.

jcrites2008

Unfortunately, on streakwave the price difference for us between the 750g and 750gl is only $5. Not hardly worth the reduced speed imo.

jcrites2008

Well you can't exactly bond them together. Meaning that if you do a speedtest you won't get 50mbps, you only get 6. You can do load balancing though so that all of the links get used equally and you can have a total throughput of 50mbps. So as long as you're not going to offer anything higher than 6...

jcrites2008

I made the mistake of downgrading to version 4 as well. Then had to use netinstall to get v5 back on there!

jcrites2008

This happened to me a couple times on 2 rb1200's. I think it happened when I upgraded both of them. One time it happened when i reset the config with the no-defaults option too.

jcrites2008

RB1100 x2 is coming out this year. Mikrotik announced it at MUM

jcrites2008

Hi, i just found a new Mikrotik product. Its the RG/750GL Here is the link: http://shop.meconet.de/artikeldet.php?proid=16883&sid=tvqccfj2maphjc3ntub3mefaa1 Is this a replacement for the RB750G? How is the performance? IT has double RAM but only 400MHz CPU for the same price. I found this on st...

jcrites2008

http://roc-noc.com has had RB1100AH's for quite awhile now. At least that's what it says on their website.

jcrites2008

Normis,

Do you know what the operating temperature is on the rb750up?

Thanks.

jcrites2008

Also, hopefully in the future Mikrotik will come out with one that has 10+ ports.

jcrites2008

you can use PEXT or POE to power the POE out router. It is similar to 802.3af except, auto feature will start work with less resistance than set 19KOHM set in standard and it will power 9 to 28V devices. Limitation is that you have 600mA on port, so if you use 28V PSU you will get 16W on the board,...

jcrites2008

Sheesh, mikrotik releases all these cool new products and people just complain about them. Sorry, they can't make everything have gigabit and quad-core processors for $100. I for one am glad to see a dual-core processor and tons of options now for routerboards that have more than 5 ports. 2 years ag...

jcrites2008

Thanks, I tried \r and \n separately, but not together!

I'm trying to send an email that has a body with a "\n" in it, but every time it tries to send it it gives me the error "Error sending email: Invalidy BODY". I saw another thread where someone said they were putting \n in their email and it worked fine. Any ideas on why it will n...

jcrites2008

So does the RB1100 have 2 RAM slots then? To my knowledge, there are no 1.5 GB sticks.

jcrites2008

Sweet!! Any idea on when it will be available?

jcrites2008

Strange, I have plugged in POE to laptops and routers on accident with voltage as high as 48v and never had one single issue.

jcrites2008

it works; thats why ubnt released one for NanostationM They didn't actually. Some people use 3rd party dishes with nanostations, but UBNT doesn't recommend it. They are making a similar device for 900MHz and 3GHz equipment, but they are changing the design the internal antenna of the nanostations t...

jcrites2008

You seriously trashed them?! I would have gladly taken them off your hands.

jcrites2008

You already have RB433 and RB493G, what's wrong with them?

Nothing is wrong with them, it's just not necessary to have that many ports for an AP. A RB433G would cost less. RB493G would work for now if you really needed it gigabit though.

jcrites2008

Where's the love for 2GHz?

Last two products to be released are 5GHz only, I am trying to patiently wait for MUM.

jcrites2008

Can you post this script pretty please?

jcrites2008

I figured all routerboards would have gigabit at some point.

jcrites2008

Thanks

jcrites2008

Normis,

Can you confirm whether or not there will be a 2GHz version of the 711? That would be very helpful to us as we are getting ready to put up a new site with R52Hn's and are going to be running on 2GHz.

jcrites2008

Hi,

Something like this:
http://routerboard.com/index.php?showProduct=99

Regards, Grzegorz.

Oh nice!

jcrites2008

Any device plugged in 411uahr USB port is not powered via USB port - external power adapter is required.

how are you supposed to power a usb stick?

jcrites2008

But there are more coming, right Normis??

jcrites2008

That's old and EOL. It's also not wireless N. I'm surprised they have any of those left!

jcrites2008

I hope there is a 2 ghz version of this coming!

jcrites2008

new RB750 have a hole for one USB port. On the PCB i don't see anything for wireless... I would absolutely love a RB450G with usb, but I would probably take a 750G with usb if they don't make the 450 one. Oh wait, you can't use USB for a ftp server on Mikrotik, so nevermind. I guess I really just w...

jcrites2008

Thanks for your answer!

jcrites2008

This is what people tell me every time I bring this up, but I know routerboards could have great filesharing if Mikrotik would just let them. Lots of consumer routers have USB ports for filesharing and I don't want to spend a ton of extra money for a computer or a NAS when it would work perfectly fi...

jcrites2008

I wonder if you would have access to the usb port that's built into some routerboards. I would like to do filesharing from a routerboard.

jcrites2008

Is there any chance the price will go down on the RB800 now that the RB600 is pretty much out of stock everywhere?

jcrites2008

That is why we are not selling it. Sensitivity is very weak according to the data sheet.

Tom

Funny how i found it on your website lol

jcrites2008

Yeah, I may do a RB750G or 450G and a consumer wireless router.

jcrites2008

Do all of the ports on this show up as configurable interfaces on routerOS or is it just basically a switch?

Thanks,

Jason

jcrites2008

I won't have Internet anywhere near that fast. I will mainly be transferring files and streaming hi-def movies. I plan on using Cat6 cable.

jcrites2008

Even RB750G would handle all of the mentioned quite easily. It's CPU is no worse than RB450G. If you need miniPCI, then maybe you can still find the cheaper RB600. We are also working on other gigabit products, but nothing to announce yet. RB493G??? That would make my day. Gigabit ports plus wirele...

jcrites2008

Wow!! Thanks a million for the awesome explanation. That is one of the most helpful posts I have ever received. Now, question is, why did they do this? How much could it have saved them to not run a connection from one of the rgmii interfaces to ether1? Or perhaps this is more of a marketing strateg...

jcrites2008

Only problem is, RB800 costs almost $350. Whereas the rb600 can be had for less than $200.

jcrites2008

I'm not exactly sure how the RB800 can be a replacement for the RB600 when it costs twice as much!! Those things had better come down in price big time if RB600's really do go EOL. You have any info on this Normis?

Thanks,

Jason

jcrites2008

I'm not quite sure what this discussion is about. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?

Thank you,

Jason

jcrites2008

Real 100mbit half duplex is arrived! This is real customer traffic not any type of b-test. I try replace RB600 at station side and I am sure i can get more then 100mbit in one direction! Concratulations! But; - Configs please (´n´ specific as well as other wireless. nstreme? WDS? MPLS?) - Link data...

jcrites2008

You would think that even with default settings, you could get decent throughput, but I haven't been able to get decent throughput no matter what I try. I tried other people's configs, tried experimenting with my own, took advice from other people,still nothing. It's just not worth headache really.....

jcrites2008

Hmmm, I don't think so. Both have the same CPU core and are the same generation. The RB1000 has 2 times the L2 cache. The RB1000 CPU is running 33% faster. Tom Hmm ok you have a point with the L2 cache but Normis did say it will be able to run at the same speed as the RB1000. I assume that's becaus...

jcrites2008

Normis says that performance is about the same, plus RB1100 has twice as many ports, plus it is most likely going to be significantly cheaper. But if you'd rather pay a few hundred dollars more for the RB1000, go ahead I guess. Also I would imagine the processor in the RB1100 is newer than the one i...

jcrites2008

I think "those times" are when this switch costs 2x less (or even less that) of RB750G

Normis,

Well that's certainly good news, can you tell us whether or not this is meant to work outdoors or perhaps the operating temperatures?

Thank you!

Jason

jcrites2008

I would assume that a 750G could do everything that RB250GS can do plus more. A 750G is $70 so is it safe to assume this switch might be down around $50 or so? Personally I would still rather shell out a little more to get the 750G. Also, it would be nice if they had a non-gigabit switch for say $25...

jcrites2008

I would love to see a RB493G. Can't wait to see what new wireless products are forthcoming.

jcrites2008

It was sent out in announcement to the notification list. You can sign up on http://www.mikrotik.com

I found a link "newsletters" but it doesn't show the new one. Also, I can't find the place to sign up

IMHO the best setup for "bonding" wireless links is using OSPF. You dedicate one radio to transmitting and the other to receiving and you get the added benefit of failover with OSPF. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Dual_Setup_with_OSPF http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/OSPF_to_simulate_full_dup...

jcrites2008

Ok, so here's my setup. I've got a Routerboard connected to 2 AP's on ether2 and ether3. These AP's have 1 client each connected to them. These clients are connected to another routerboard on ether2 and ether3. I've enabled bonding on ether2 and ether3 on both routerboards. Note that my two wireless...

jcrites2008

So, you'll really have to be careful about what boards you put these in by making sure it can output enough power to the cards.

jcrites2008

Batteries that can be used are 12V from 1-5Ah. PSU switching adapters are recommended 13-13.8V so that they can charge these batteries. The battery in the picture is lead-acid jelly type. From this 2.2Ah battery, this device will work around 2 hours at full load. _DSC0158.jpg Can the power supply b...

jcrites2008

RB750G have five gigabit ports. Ether1 support passive POE with 100mbit speed and Mikrotik gbit POE with 1000mbit speed

What is Mikrotik gbit POE?

Thanks.

jcrites2008

Did anyone else notice, doing the math these things require max 2.1 A. That's way higher than any of the other Mikrotik cards.

jcrites2008

RB133 has a 175MHz processor that will be at 100% all time and it cannot use the card. I checked and the CPU was definitely below 50%! Anyway, I'm pretty sure I tested with 2 RB600's when we had them and it wasn't much better. I'll probably just try a few more things and then end up trying the new ...

Using 1 chain I only get around 7 Mbps. I'm testing indoors at close range. Do I still need to keep the antennas a certain distance apart and use different polarizations? What RouterBoards?

jcrites2008

When testing indoors at close range, do you still need to keep the antennas a certain distance apart and use different polarizations? I'm using 2 R52n's.

Thanks,

Jason

jcrites2008

Anyone else test these yet to see how well they perform? Do they outperform the R52n? I've had no luck getting anything greater than 30 Mbps UDP on 5 GHz or 2 GHz. I've tried several different people's configs who say they get close to 100, but not me!

jcrites2008

Yeah I have trouble getting good estimates from it too... But it's still nice to see the side view of the link.

jcrites2008

I'm trying to do 2.4 802.11n with 40 MHz.

jcrites2008

Try as I may, I cannot get R52N's to do 40MHz. I've got 2 antenna's hooked up to them. I've tried basically all the combinations possible on the ht chains. I've enabled the HT extension channel. I've tried changing the HT Guard Interval to long. And I've tried numerous settings with N-streme enabled...

jcrites2008

Ok, we recently got some of the new R52N cards and wanted to try them out. First, I tried one R52N card in a RB133 and another R52N in another RB133. I made on an AP, and one a client. It took me awhile to figure out why it could only do around 13 Mbps, but I finally came to the conclusion that it w...

jcrites2008

Oh really?? So, how do you go about using the store command with a micro-SD card?

jcrites2008

As it turns out, a web server and ftp server are already built into RouterOS. If you type in the ip address of the Routerboard, it will bring up a web interface for your device. Not only that, but you can also download the Winbox software from it! Also, you can ftp into router OS and transfer files ...

jcrites2008

I am also wondering if micro-sd cards can be used for storage on RouterOS. Is it possible to access the files stored on the card through a http or ftp connection to the Routerboard? Can RouterOS be a webserver or is there any plans in the future for it? Our WISP is wanting to be able to download fil...
