When’s this coming to the US? This would be perfect for a SOHO…and I imagine the price point (in US dollars) is rather attractive for the capability it has.
funny, because every device I own still has the “upgradable to” field, even the 2011 that is only upgradable to 6.x, and it’s running 6.18. Somehow I don’t buy that.
As far as the switch goes, I think it is a step in the right direction. It would be really good for a on-site office that is 300ft of cable away. 1 device for fiber in, 8 PC’s and wifi. It would also be beneficial to see this style device with a stronger processor (like a Scorpion 720Mhz CPU) and dual band wifi (or at least a PCIe slot) for a true SOHO device.
Mikrotik is kind of lacking in the SOHO department right now. Many small businesses I deal with have a 100/100 ethernet connection. Cloud services and pushing the need for SMB’s with high speed connections. Mikrotik doesn’t really have a device that can handle routing 200mbit (with decent firewall rules and a queue tree) in the sub $250 range.
OK my eyes were mistaken, I notice this actually has Micro USB A not a Standard USB A.
What is the thinking behind this decision?
Having the little cable hanging out the front to connect a USB flash drive or 3G modem looks ugly, and the micro ports are more flimsy and prone to damage.
From the images, it looks like this product will have a fan. Is that really so?
I’m going to replace my network equipment at home and was hoping to get a couple of these babies for the WiFi, but as one would be sitting in the bedroom, I guess I’d get into trouble with the Mrs if it had a fan in it…
The switch chip type is quite different. RB2011 doesn’t support so many swich specific functions as the CRS series. While switching is just an extra feature on the RouterBOARD models, it is the main function on the CRS models, and has a lot of functionality there.
