I think you are missing my point here. You see, the battery is hooked to the load at all time. My question is, since a complete circuit exist between the + and - terminal of the battery (through the load, of course), how do you stop the battery from moving electron to the load when AC main is up ?

Is the bulb now not consuming more energy then the unit (rb) you want to keep alive? If we consider a rb333 board with 3 radios consuming roughly 18W max the overall performance for a given battery pack is shortened by more the 55-70%! To make up the capacity you need more then double the battery, ...

the adaptor will define the power when the mains is on, the batteries will nicely remove brownouts as they are there all the time. if the power adaptor was not able to deal with the peak load of your routers then this isn't a problem as the batteries would fill in the gaps. it is pretty much the si...

Nice guide Kijomabb. One question about your setup though... when the AC main is up, is the load is going to draw power from both the adaptor and the battery?

what kind of charger will charge the battery while it is being discharge by the load at the same time?

Yep, that's it. Problem gone, set adaptive-noise-immunity to 'No' and cpu load at 0% most of the time,even at B/G mode. Wasn't aware of this new setting. Thanks Uldis, you are da man. One more question, is adaptive-noise-immunity suppose to play well with R52H card ?

In my case, I discovered that it is also one of the R52H that's causing the high CPU load. Whenever that offending R52H is in B/G or G-only mode, CPU load problem will appear. I have never tested it with 5ghz, but I know switching to B-only mode or using 5mhz channel width will solve the problem. I ...

Solved my problem. I changed both R52H cards to B-only mode, and cpu load never goes beyond 3%. Anyone care to explain why ?

Hi Iam also experiencing strange CPU load when there isnt any traffic going through the RB333. The CPU load is 0% to 5% for 3 minutes, and then it will goes up to 20%-70% for the next 60 seconds, then down again to 0%-5%. Iam monitoring the cpu load via sshl. The MRTG CPU load graph shows max 30% an...

Speaking of DCMA-82, the spec sheet says the unused antenna port should be terminated with a 10 ohm resistor. Any picture or guide on how to do that ?

Agreed, shifting the blame to the resellers are just plain unreasonable. Maybe MT can learn from dairy product manufacturer and put expiry date on its products.

I think it is good for the users that MT came up with a new product with similar performance for half the price. The only concern I have for my RB333's is that they will no longer be supported in future version of RoS. And even if it is, my guess is that bug-fixing for the 333's will be of low prior...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a fan that is good quality, small, already has the proper connector on the leads to plug into routerboard and work properly? Thanks The manual says RB333 fan connector will ouput whatever voltage you put into the RB. If u use 24v adaptor to power the R...

A lot of time has passed since that was true. We are using cache on RB1000 with CF drives, it works great. Modern CF drives don't have this problem that you are worried about. I can tell you that my recent experience in using even brand name CF card as cache storage has not been pretty. Are you imp...

Well, what's the odd that 4 radio cards would go deaf at the same time. Seeing that he had already tried changing the coax, my prime suspects would be the antennas. What kind of antennas are u using ?

sure, it will work.
please make sure to use proper antenna according to frequency you use.

OK thanks bro, that's all i need to know

I started fooling around with super-channel recently. What I dont I understand is how come for cards such as NMP-8602 and CM-9 there are frequency available that are outside of the manufacturers' spec ? Case in point , the available frequency from NMP-8602 spec sheets are : 802.11a 5.15~5.35GHz, 5.4...

Hi Gerard,

Thanks for replying. Do you set the tx power to default or manual ? I guess Iam trying to find out if there is any a bug in the manual tx power setting like the one we have in xr2.

Anyone else ?

Iam sure by now some of you should have gotten the new R52H mPCI card. Any possibility of a performance review before I start with another round obsessive-compulsive buying spree ?

Hi networking gurus, I'd like to verify something regarding connection limit netmask. Let's say if I set the connection limit to 10 and netmask to 0, does it mean there are only 10 connections available for use to entire range of IP address ? The reason Iam asking is because I would like to set a li...

Surge arrestor were never designed to withstand a direct lightning strike. That's why you should have an air terminal installed a few feet higher than your omni so the omni wouldnt get a direct hit. Also make sure you have a low resistance and impedance ground conductor to conduct the lightning down...

Hi, Is it possible to use wildcard character for the input parameter to the "find" command? I have several ip blocks which have http access restriction in the web-proxy access list (such as 192.168.2.38/31, 192.168.2.112/30 etc). I would like to disable the restrictions on certain time of ...

Hi, Iam running dual-NStreme on RB532. But there are pps and bandwidth discrepancy between the NStreme interface and the individual WLAN interface. So let's say the NStreme interface is, showing TX/RX 500/500 pps, the Tx WLAN will be 1000 pps and Rx WLAN will also show 1000pps, or approximately doub...

Hello , Iam trying to differentiate between Overseas and domestic traffic. I have read the How-to documentation. But what still puzzle me is this : from http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/howto/howto.content /ip firewall mangle add in-interface=ether1 dst-address=159.148.0.0/16 action=passthrough ...

Hello Everyone, Iam still learning about NStreme dual. I have read a lot of the posts here on the forum as well as the MT documentation. I have several questions that I hope someone can help me out. 1. for stability and throughput, Is there any recomended chipset for x86 based machine other than int...

Thank you for the reply. I have read the how-to. I have a similar idea before i created the thread. However, there are some problems : 1. The routes are static, if some local ISP get a new block of IP address, i have to add a new routing policy. 2. Iam unable to get the list of ip addresses for my l...

Hello Iam new to Mikrotik. Can anyone tell me how I can split internet traffic bound for the local internet exchange vs those bound for the International pipe ? We have 50+ Workstations in the office all using private IP and we need to place a more stringent limit on the international bound traffic....
