What I would love to see is upgraded CCR2004-1G-12S+2X with same ports, but with upgraded CPU and SwitchChip. It’s time to upgrade it…

Lot to like here. Long time complainer "to the editor": but I finally got proof-of-life on North American LTE bands. If only we could get to higher category global LTE+5G modems somewhere. But at least going in right direction!

The battery on the Fiber adapter is great idea. Won't always help since carriers often use their ONTs (without batteries), but still useful for the same problem. e.g. often the fiber POS/DEMARC is often not where the rest of the network things live, so often a separate UPS system is needed for just a few watts.

Now If only there was a hAP with battery, that like be a real seller, IMO. But some 5G device with global band support is highest on may list.

Whats about the mAP 52axD?
Was hoping to hear about the release-date.

Awesome to see the first ‘proper’ generation of enterprise routers CCR3232-12DS-4DQ ( This even made my boss sit up). I know that’s harsh, but coming from a very large Cisco environment its the closest item I’v seen that, might sway the cards a bit in big organizations.

Hopefully we will see a CRS with 24/36/48 port SFP+(25/50gbe shell speed) in the near future to match the router( with proper stacking too ).

And yes, looking forward to a PoE++ 48port to match old crs354’s.
and +1 for hardware offloaded macsec( ideally 256 bit, would even make IT security finally happy( they are never happy!!) ).

Me too... Looks like we have to wait a little bit longer.

Is hap be3 able to route to PPPoE wan at 1Gbit speed?

Upload or download?

Should it matter? I have 1Gbit symmetrical plan (really more like 850-900 up on the ISPs router, nokia beacon3.1). Would it be able to replace that?

I wasn't yet successful for both, with an rb5009, but yet to confirm it 100%.

wait, what? Are you saying that rb5009 can’t saturate 1 gigabit over PPPoE?

Of course it can move 1 Gbps without any hassle

Mine moves 1Gbps through PPPoE with less than 18% CPU usage.

I still have one variable to deal with, other than that, rb5009 could not upload more than ~400Mbps pppoe.
For others, experience may vary.

Im sure my last ppoe Test with an ax3 did around 1G.
I couldn't find the topic anymore to quote

1 Gbps with PPPoE on RB5009 is not a problem, with little CPU usage:

As for the hAP be³, its CPU is somewhat weaker than the one in the hAP ax³ but should still be plenty for 1Gbps with PPPoE, even without having to use FastTrack.

It most definitely can upload more than 400 Mbps.
