Re: 411AH - Ether1 not working after upgrade to ROS 6.0

Can you downgrade 6.0 to 5.25 using xmodem? I tried by interupting the boot, sent the upgrade package for 5.25 over xmodem but it complained about invalid upgrade id or similar. You should be able to downgrade with hyperterm. I'd recommend 5.24 not 5.25... I had a similar issue (Ethernet flopping )...

Re: New Ethernet port flap issue enquiery, PLS JOIN!

Update: It looks like Teamspeak as well as some other traffic were just triggering the port flap. The problem was firmware 2.29 that I had so far. Took the router down replaced old 560 μF capacitors with new 680μF and updated to firmware 2.41. Note that I took the risk of updating to RB411's 2.41 wh...

Re: RB411 Ethernet Freezes (No receive)

I had the same problem on my RB411. It just appeared a few days ago after 3 years of normal (Ethernet at list) operation. After some research I discovered that the problem was triggered by teamspeak (http://www.teamspeak.com) installed on a pc by my son (I have a P2P connection). From what I underst...

I had to abandon them to increase throughput and number of PCs networked (UC4800 supported only one PC) . I've been straggling ever s...
