RBM33G availability and replacement

Dear MikroTik and friends, I was about to order an RBM33G for building a proof-of-concept dual-WWAN gateway, but I notice they're unavailable at most (if not all?) sellers in EU... Is this a temporary issue with the supply chain or should be expect a replacement in the coming months? If a replacemen...

Re: Feature Request /31 Subnet

Implementing RFC3021 is long overdue.

I for one simply do not use the Mikrotik /32 method because IP designs should avoid depending on proprietary features when a perfectly good RFC is available, suitable and supported by multiple vendors.

Your assumptions are correct :) They should autodiscover, as RIP uses broadcast by default, so no need to define each other as 'neighbors'. You only need to add the networks you want to route for on both routers. On the mikrotik you will need to add your default LAN network (192.168.0.0) and your ot...

Re: How to route between networks without using NAT

When you use NAT to connect to a host in the same network as the 192.168.0.26 interface, your connection appears to be originating from 192.168.0.26, so devices know how to reach your mikrotik.
