The RB333 is now EOL, it’s replacement is the RB433.
It look like the 433 is the same layout as the 333.
Surely not, the RB333 has only been out a few months!
They say the RB433 is just as fast for a lot less money so why have the RB333 if it’s not really any faster.
It looks like the RB333 is EOL. It has been removed from the Mikrotik price list. I saw no announcement. Is RouterBOARD a business or a hobby? The product page still shows the EOL equipment as “new”. None of the new equipment is listed. ??
I just bought a RB333 thinking it was “new equipment”. Stupid me. 
resellers have all this information. mikrotik is a manufacturer, not a store. your reseller should inform you about new and upcoming products.
My apology for sounding insulting, normis. It is just some of this is unnerving. This is my business, and I have decided to make MikroTik part of it. I spent thousands on RouterBOARD products in the last few months and now all are EOL.
I meant nothing towards the MikroTik Team. The OS is splendid, or I would not have stayed around this long. I am now aware this is a OS technical forum. I will try to limit my posts and responses to that.
I was confused by the topic “RouterOS on RouterBOARD”. My bad. 
RouterOS and RouterBoard are both Mikrotik. 
I don’t see what the problem is. The 433 is just as fast but at a lower price. What’s to not like?
The only problem I have is that they didn’t make it smaller so we could use the Pacwireless DCE enclosure and the mpci slots are to close to fit 3 XR cards in them.
Does Anyone know if the 433 will monitor it’s voltage like the rb333? This saves us hundreds of dollars on off grid installations…
One of the previous posts raised a question… I was sort of imagining the RB433 being about the same size at the 133. Is it in fact the same size as the 333? I hope its not laid out like the 333, its my least favorite so far of all the designs.
Also a quick question if I can slide it in here… With only one wireless interface and one ethernet interface what was the motivating reason to create the 411a with more memory. I have 411 running hotspot / dhcp etc and there is memory to spare. I’m just curious - I do like it because it comes with l4 license so it saves money than upgrading 411 any way.

Unfortunately the RB433 is the exact same layout as the RB333.. Same Mini-PCI problem with XR cards. Won’t fit in ARC IES enclosure’s at all, or PAC DCE-7x6x2’s with more than 2 cards.. Really disappointing since the RB411 was so small.. I would really love to see a RB412 or RB413 with the same form factor as the RB133.. Most of my customers don’t use the extra ethernets and only need the extra minipci slots..

Yeah, one ethernet and two minipci would handle most of what I need.
Maybe the key is to get pac wireless to make a DCE 10x6x2 
I like that idea. It sure would be handy for a lot more than just having a better sized board, although I agree the 333 design/size was retarded to begin with and it is sad to see them keep it for the 433.
RouterBoard 433 is faster then RouterBoard 333?
RB333 is a good product, why You EOL it?
it’s about the same performance, but the price is 2x less
Normis,
Again I ask does the 433 have the voltage available like the 333?
Thank you
current revision doesn’t, but we will include it in the next hardware revision
I think it is good for the users that MT came up with a new product with similar performance for half the price. The only concern I have for my RB333’s is that they will no longer be supported in future version of RoS. And even if it is, my guess is that bug-fixing for the 333’s will be of low priority to the MT team.
I think the RB433 is a great idea. Too bad you can’t get one. I have three new sites I need new equipment for NOW!! Not next week. And NOW my choice is:
EOL equipment (not recommended for new installs)
or
the RB600, the new entry-level non-EOL access point.
EDIT: This would not matter much at all to me if this was a hobby. I spent half the day yesterday trying to hunt one of these down, only to find they will not be available for a “week or two”. Then I spent the rest of the day “sucking up” to my new customers so they won’t go with my competition from Atlanta.
Thats stupid what you are saying. Bug fixes are for routerOS not for Routerboards.
“That’s stupid”? Read the changelogs before you post! Board specific bug fixes all over the place.
