I absolutely love Winbox 4, have it running on both Windows and Debian!

3

Thank god… You put more than 16MB of flash in CRS304, love the new design :smiley:

Maybe there will be more new switches in this form factor ?

4

I’ll double that. Using WinBox 4 on macOS and Linux( https://flathub.org/apps/com.mikrotik.WinBox ) - I personally like this version more.

5

CRS304 mounting options are perfect, specially side DIN-rail mounting !

I hope we’ll also find an 8 ports PoE switch with the same mounting options, when you need to connect and power a couple of PoE devices (APs, cameras) from a short dept, short width space.

Hi,

CRS304 switching results are they correct?


Regards,

Where is Saved connection Group and RoMon address columns in Winbox 4 ?

@jgellis
it’s new, give it a time

+1
I am also using it everywhere. Linux, Mac, Win. It’s still a little raw and undercooked but it’ll get better with time.

10

Where is wAP AX?

11

Agree! Desperately waiting for the wAP ax as well :wink:

Bit more patience required i suppose…

12

It is has not been officially announced yet.

13

Still baking :pie:

14

7.16 Blew out my 2.4 GHz Wifi configurations and channel. Only Seeing 5 GHz on RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD. Anyone seeing this issue?

15

Those results do look very bad

16

As if they, somehow, only tested the 1Gbps MGMT port?

17

Also can’t find a block diagram for CRS304.Is it’s MGMT port connected to a switch switch chip or directly to CPU?

18

… and didn’t pay attention that those test results are not what they were expected to be ?
I mean, why have 4x10Gb ports if the device is only capable of moving 2Gbps in total ?

19

That’s what I meant when I asked about the test results… it’s like having a Ferrari with a 90 HP Renault engine.
