One more question - do I need to have a pair of 180-R + 180-C to run Ethernet over 2-wire? Or I can install 180-R in RB2011 which will then act as a sort of DSLAM and connect any cheap VDSL(ADSL?) modem to it?

Holy Jeez! 132's are still 100 EUR each and they need a PC router to run

Agh nevermind :) 2 pairs are perfectly OK for 100 Mbps, most of my home is already wired using 2 pairs and it is working like a charm. Technically, there are other options besides those SFP VDSLs - I have seen some Solwise Ethernet-to-phoneline bridges on eBay at 60 EUR each but it's still way too m...

Hello all, I have a UTP3 wire running down my home in the drywall and only 1 pair is available. How can I connect couple of Mikrotiks over that pair? I see somebody suggested a Mikrotik router with SFP cage and pair of VDSL modems in SFP form-factor. But they are damn expensive - around $200 or some...

You have to wait a while until RouterOS starts supporting 802.11n

Do not try to fool Mighty Kalviz, you Normis the Mortal! ))))
RouterOS supports 802.11n, at least some particular interfaces.

Hello Mikrotik, It would be great if you unify the location of holes on the PCB for 532, 112 and 133. It will allow to change routerboards inside RIC series integrated antenna. Just assume that user wants to replace RB 112 with 532 and vice versa. Actually, it is not possible since the holes do not ...

We have some 30 x RB153. If you are interested, please inform me.

If you want to know how to get big Mbps with outdoor MT router, just summon a guy named Stephen Patrick, he really does know HOW to tweak motherboards for MT outdoor wireless

However, most likely he will sooner or later appear in this thread

Valens,

You can use "connect-list" parameter in wireless menu (works just like access-list but in the opposite direction), so you can restrict CPE from connecting to any AP except the one with MAC address you specify in the connect-list

Any news, Normunds and Uldis? I would appreciate your test results with 532.

No, we have not tested them in RB112 and 532 since all our 112/532 are up and running on towers ;-) The only hardware we have at the moment are 153's. When I get my hands on RB112 I will test it definitely. However, 112 is not a good option for a router with multiple cards, I would prefer to run mul...

Which power adapter do you use? My opinion is - the cards run short on power (this explains a bit better stability with 48 V power unit). Could you test them on RB532?

I installed them in PCs before that and they ran just fine, also the interference seemed to be smaller that with CM9. The vendor of the cards says there is a lot of complains about RB153. Is RB532 stabler than RB153?

Any ideas, Normis and Uldis?

Did anyone experience problems with multiple CM10 in RB153? When we put 3 CM10 in one RB153, the routerboard hangs up in ~1..2 minutes if using 18W adapter and in 4..5 if using 48W. However, 3 CM9s in RB153 run smooth. For example, when 3 CM10 reside in RB153+18V power, we are able to run scan only ...

What is the typical power consumption in W for each type of routerboards with as much CM9 cards inside as it can house (i.e 3 cards in 153, 2 cards in 112, 4 cards in 532)? http://www.routerboard.com does not have such info

Bonding 2 wireless links (like transparent Nstreme-dual) is not a good idea. The bonding mechanism works with certain coefficient of productivity, and this coefficient is far from 100%. Assume you have 2 CM9 cards in each router, one pair is working for upload, other for download. Assume that each l...

Any comments from Mikrotikers?

Speak up, Normunds and Uldis!

The polling feature should be improved so it can support multicast. At the moment, the polling mechanism consequently runs on the list of client MACs and sends unicast frames in turn to each list entry (or an empty frame to a client that is passive). Suggestion: just before sending unicast frames, s...

We highly demand IGMP/multicasting. Without supporting these features, RouterOS IS NOT IPTV-ready.

As I said earlier: The positive 100's appear due to the binaric nature of a byte. Usually, 8-bit sequence declared as type:byte allows numbers from 0 to 255. 8-bit type:small_integer stands for -127..127 and the very first bit of the byte is a sign-bit. If you decrease the negative number by 1 conse...

Well, I see GotNet is quite right. The problem is with atmospheric electricity. Omnis, sectorial antennas and directional ones have different structure, one type is closed-circuit while others are open-circuit. There is electricity in the air so non-DC grounded or improperly DC grounded omni antenna...

The positive 100's appear due to the binaric nature of a byte. If you have ever programmed in Assembler, you understand what I am saying. Usually, 8-bit sequence declared as type:byte allows numbers from 0 to 255. 8-bit type:small_integer stands for -127..127 and the very first bit of the byte is a ...

Sten, do you think if 3 interfaces are bridged, the incoming frame (coming through interface A and destined for a host reachable via interface B) is also retranslated to interface C? Mikrotik manual says that the bridge interface is working as switch, not like a hub.

Normis, can you give more details about Eugene's setup? Did he bond 2 ethernet interfaces (one to RB#1, second to RB#2)?

We experienced the same thing and all these times the solution was quite simple: do not sit the miniPCI card too tight in the slot. If you push the end of the card (I mean - one with goldened stripes) into the slot to the very very end so it is perfectly tight, you might experience troubles - interf...

We had the same issue 3 times. Excellent signal, low noise, worked some days or even weeks with no problem, and then "no connectivity". I put "" in the text since there still was a possibility to get connected at some 20 meters away from the AP. At 1 km (remote client's location)...
