Hi,
one question about RB1100AH and RB1100AHx2 for the mikrotik project engineer…
WHY 47MByte in this router? HOW many different cost with 64MB ? RB450 have 512MB !!
is problematic to upgrade to 5.12
this is crazy!!
Best Regards
Product specifications
Details
Product code RB1100AHx2
Current Monitor No
CPU P2020
CPU speed 1066MHz
RAM 2GB (RouterOS will use only up to 1,5GB)
Architecture PPC
LAN ports 13
flash… not RAM
why does this matter? RouterOS runs fine on it, and for proxy cache you use the microSD.
normally is 15Mbye used, if you have a few backup… ros 5.12 cause a 0% free memory…
my question is: why only 47Mbyte HDD on this beautifull router ?
thanks
AND I have other question, on first RB1100 have 512 mb ram too, this is very important, I can understand how is possible reduce memory on this great router, is realy crazy, I can run metarouter…realy apologize.
ARIEL
not RAM! RAM is 2GB. please don’t confuse RAM with anything else. Size of NAND doesn’t matter. Use microSD for additional storage.
[see below]
Yes I know perfecly what is RAM…
but I think a little NAND is a limitation… I remember RB532 with 128MB Nand and I’m not understand the 48Mb free in RB1100ahx2
I refuse this engineer idea…it’s only my things..
Thanks for all, great job… but increase nand storage!
can you explain why you need more NAND ? RouterOS doesn’t use more. And for proxy and other things - you can use microSD.
your routeros upgrade files is at limit of free RB1100AH space !!!
and when out ROS6 ?
thanks
Normis, sorry I can understand how I can use MicroSD to another router, I have running virtual router running on doing load balance on RB1100, this is not possible on my new RB1100AHx2, can you help me to implement it, the problem is ram.
thanks

I thought I knew what I was getting into but it appears there’s either a software issue or 41MB is really way too small.
I was about to upgrade to the latest version but I cannot: I have RB1100AH running ROS5.13, (no user-manager or hotspot packages installed) nothing in the file list, 36.5 of 41.7MB used i.e. 12% free.
The disk space is so small I cannot even upgrade to 5.14 because all the packages will not fit! 
RB1100 works fine but is discontinued, virtualization is the future, in my old system I had 3 rb450 2 rb450G, 1 rb750G and 1 PC.
thanks to rb1100 and metarouter could reduce number of equipment and have fewer points of failure, and improve the quality and availability of my service.
I don’t understand why mikrotik is downgrading product line, RB750G it was discontinued, replace is RB750GL, with less memory, less processor, price difference is that justifies these changes?, in this cases there are not a technical impedimet, as other people say in other post “disappointing that, the biggest RB1100AHx2, not support virtualization…”.
I buy it thinking that the core duo processor added benefits to RB1100, but never imagined I would have 10% of RAM of RB1100 and also will not support virtualization.
But there are something that I can understand, when I activate the load balancer that run in MetaRouter on my RB1100, amount’s memory nand is not reduced, however RAM amount’s is reduce, which explains that should not affect the amount of memory nand (of HDD), but there are another detail important on RB1100 hdd memory used is 57,3 MB, and on RB1100AHx2 hdd memory used is 22,3 MB, then definitely I think that probably if install 64 mb well be possible not lost this important function of this wonderfull router.
Dear Normis, me and a lot of people on the world use Mikrotik,and always I saw and learned too much reading your posts , but i I’m not agree with your simple answer when you say simply ‘Metarouter is not supported on RB1100AHx2’ becouse is the top product of Mikrotik and is not posible this, becouse on simple router board as rb450 this is possible.
thanks in advance
ARIEL
RAM has not been reduced in RB1100. Please check your facts.
please contact support with your supout.rif file and the list of packages you tried to upload.
Normis, sorry, when I wrote the post I made the mistake of referring to as RAM, when realy is NAND, on RB1100 is 520,1 MB and in RB1100AHx2 is only 41,7 MB (is almost 10% from RB1100 and RB1100AHx2), I Would like if you can, read all post and tell me finaly why is not support metarouter RB1100AHx2, excuse my ignorance.
ARIEL
AHx2 is multicore, but Metarouter does not work on multicore systems.
Even single system package will not fit. I’ll send the support.rif
AHx2 is multicore, but Metarouter does not work on multicore systems.
Ok, if is not work why error reported when I try add metarouter is “not enough resources (6)”, this only makes confusions and waste time, this is not clear explanation.
