RB750UP, USB Power Reset not supported!?!?!?

RouterOS General

Hi folks

I’ve bought a couple of RB750UP’s for 3G, now sometimes my 3G dongle freeze and then I have to do a power cycle on it, a reboot on the router doesn’t work at all!!! and I’ve recently discovered that the USB Power Reset is not supported, are you kidding me mikrotik!!!

So now I have to use a RB750UP to power a RB750UP with 3G Dongle so that I can do my thing if the dongle freezes up, that normally happens on the worst time [murphy’s law], is there a way I can cycle the power on the USB port without doing it this lame/expensive/unnecessary way?

LOL, I’m aware of that, its lame as hell! tho, because I’m only using RB750UP’s for POE and 3G modems only, now I cant reboot my modems if it crash, so all the popular devices with a damn USB port can’t reset the power… that makes me real sad and angry!

I really can’t understand why USB power reset is not supported, but I’ll try to power USB from RB750UP POE ethernet port (12v to 5v converter) then use a 5VUSB injector.
