3.0 beta 1 is out!

I wish there were more features. such as

• support for various wireless cards, 70% of available cards here in this part of the world doesnt match with routeros, such as ralink chips who are very common and cheap

RouterOS == Atheros, get used to it. It’s been made pretty clear on the forums that they don’t have much intrest in supporting anything else with any serious degree of effort. Atheros is an excellent product line, but there are a lot of other things out there!

Personally I’d like to see better support for Hermes (it’s old yes, but it’s GOOD! and I have a lot of them). Cisco AeroNET cards also have pretty poor support. I can’t get them to actually associate to anything However, with the age and EOL status of those particular chipsets I can understand why they don’t want to spend time on them, with so many other MUCH more important things needing done coughBGPcough.

If you actually look at forum, you will find promise that ralink will be suported in 3.0 version…

well, as far I know beta is reffered to none-tested and none-debugged version of a software that is released for volunteers to test it so that developer can finalize it.

but speaking of this 3.0 beta, its not even close… ralink might get covered in 3.0.5 alpha? or 3.0.25? or maybe 3.0.35?

… supporting this chip is just an small piece of nail in making a giant warehouse.

god help them.

Provide us with details about the RB500, we have tested FTP upgrade in different manner, it worked fine.

@piwi3910

@sergejs

piwi3910, both methods of upgrade should work fine, use regular upgrade by uploading packages via FTP.

ok i can definitly say, i’m the one with the first bug…
updated my test router by FTP all the new packages to the router…
rebooted…
and nothing anymore…
no booting or so what ever…

so don’t ftp the packages… it doesn’t work on a clean RB500 install

Were there any changes to the wireless drivers? Previous discussions indicated a new driver that would increase performance alot?

Any plan to incorporate new polling scheme that
would increase MT resilience to interference ?

By using new mac protocol that disable random backoff
option ?

High Regards,
Andrei

do not upgrade an important system, only for testing. you can use the demo key or the trial to try the beta. for tests, the demo should be enough

is it possible to preset Firewall srcs for MSN messeng, Yahoo, AOL AIM, ICQ, MSN Gaming, Yahoo games. I have setup very many HOTSPOT Mikrotiks and users utilize these al the time, the timing preset and TOS would be great too.

Thanks

Geez fro crystalclear WiFi

[crystalclearwifi]

Why would they get rid of PCMCIA Radiolan support?

I understand the necessity for less space and less driver support. but sometimes the old stuff works better. Look at Microsoft as an example, everytime they change their OS they lose driver support.

I guess they want atheros 65mw cards to be used ?

I think I will stick with 2.9 it has all more support features, and its functionality fits Hotel, Airport, Cafe customer needs.

Well done MT, keep up the good work!

To all: as normis said, this is called BETA, which means it should be used for testing purposes only. Anybody who’s willing to test and submit observations and bugs is most welcome as it will help in developing RouterOS.

Cheers all…

I’d like to see ability to use it as a PPPoE client concentrator.

I’d like to be able to terminate different PPPoE sessions to different VLANs so I can use a 532 with a VLAN switch to service many customers in an MTU.

And can’t you already do that?

New thread started about this.

I’m having trouble on a virtual machine, too. (See my reply to the other post.)

Will try on a “real” routerboard now…
