Re: RB260GS

Good job Mikrotik!
Now I am waiting for 260GP or 750GP! So I can use power-switch to power two other 260GS switches and router in my SOHO.
Wouldn't it be great?! Reduce occupied power-sockets, decrease electricity consumption and save the environment! ;)

Re: Dual WAN and VPN

Thank you for the link, quiet interesting presentation.

Probably it could help as the next step - to route VPN clients over 3G WAN.

But how does it help in the first place -the router does not respond even on ping over 3G WAN if Wireless bridge is active?
