I'm positive those packets are from the router. Even when isolated the traffic light will flash when connected into a switch with no other connections. After the upgrades and BIOS reflash this is the best I've seen it behave. I'll keep testing it. Maybe it won't get worse and I can use it in my shop.

Here's the packets I'm talking about. Protocol 34824 Size 46. Over and Over and Over.

I was trying to use a rule to drop them. But it seemed to ignore the rule. I'll set it up as a simple AP here in my shop to see what happens. I've been wanting to dump that crappy Dlink and use this as our broadband firewall / router. Networking is not my main business. I do it on the side when I'm ...

It's just junk going no where. I replaced the unit since it wouldn't perform in the field. I was just hoping to fix it.

There's not much here in this test network. Just a few Windows machines in a Peer2Peer, 1 8 port 10/100 unmanaged switch, 1 linux web server, 1 Dlink Router with wireless running DHCP.

The RB532 will do this even when nothing else is plugged in to the switch. The amber traffic light just blinks away.

I have a 2 year old that never worked right the day it was installed. It has 32mb ram, running at 264 with RouterOS 2.95 Level 5. I had to replace the unit to keep the network up. POE 48V power and nothing else installed. Formated the nand, reloaded the OS and reflashed the BIOS. Anyway it will run,...

Any solutions on this? Our Mac OSX clients can't connect using WPA or WPA2 w/ TKIP or AES. Same thing, deauth and timeout. Using a RB532 and a CM9. This is a NEW router with the latest RouterOS. WinXP clients can connect fine with the preshared key. This interface is a VAP. Perhaps I could use PPPoe...

And the linksys and Seavsoft devices were also using 5dBi Omni's? When you're comparing devices it's best to compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges.[/quote] Yes the linksys had 5dbi rubber duckies. The RB532 showed a major decrease in range in the same enviroment. I know the Linksys is a PO...

I don't know about too much power. I could see the card overheating and failing or signal loss if being overdriven. I feel the SR2 doesn't put out enough. Using 26dbm on anntenna b and b/g with a 5dbi omni antenna my Linksys with Seavsoft has better range @ 200mw. Also a 100mw 3com 8750 has about th...
