Re: Cube 60Pro - Real world range/reliability/alignment

I finally managed to order a pair of that devices, but I haven't received it yet. The noted poor 5GHz is somewhat alarming, because that is the only reason of ordering one instead of current 1.5km LHG60G link in place. Is it even comparable to a regular Cube60ac performance?

Re: NEWSLETTER 105

New hardware looks great, still - I'm putting all Mikrotik purchases on hold until RouterOS v7 becomes stable - at the moment there are too many serious issues.
These releases are pretty much paper launches anyway and one can not buy none of the new stuff.
But that v7 thingie is the major issue.

I've managed to get an OpenVPN (ovpn) tunnel going between Fedora 17 and ROS v5.24, but the ROS is pushing only one route to the client side.

192.9.x.x is not an internal address range and should be not used as such, but you are free to do whatever you like if you keep it behind NAT. You are likely not NATig that range and that is why your system is not working.
