I just now updated the ROS CHR btest server from 7.2.3 to 7.3.1

All btest jails and waiting periods have been reset ( cleared ). That means the waiting period is again reset/cleared.

Re: Wireless Wire Angle

for the best wireless signal strength and wireless throughput, point both antennas in a point-to-point wireless system so that they are spot-on facing each other.
yes - it will work if they are not exactly pointing to each other but the link will not be optimum.

Re: X86_64 ROS - 64bit Mikrotik [SOLVED]

Question:

I pretty much only use CHRs for my core routers and bandwidth shaper and BGP and NAT444 ( 60-thousand lines of NAT configuration for ports per live IP address for my CGN networks ).

Is an x86 with X86_X64 enabled any faster or slower than a CHR doing the same thing ?
