Hi, I have only one rb2011, so no need to save lists of addresses, and I have only Linux machines.
winbox works ok with wine, but I don’t like having wine on my machines, if possible.
So, does winbox do something that the web interface webfig is not able to do, or they’re just different interfaces for the same stuff?
Greetings
winbox is the best way to configure the routerboard with al his options
I run winbox with wine in Linux everything is ok.
yes, I tried it too, it works well…
But I don’t like having wine if not needed, so I was wondering if webfig is not reliable, has problems, or if it mirrors only some winbox commands…
If webfig has the same possibilities (and the main advantage is when dealing with many devices), I’d just stay with webfig, having only my rb2011…
Webfig has not all the possibillities that winbox has
The major drawback for me in webfig is that you can’t connect using MAC Address. If the router has no configured IP addresses, you can’t connect through webfig.
No need for winbox or webfig, you have linux so use ssh.
Ok, I was aware of this.
But if connecting with IP address, winbox and webfig replicates the same things?
ie: are there system things that winbox can change and webfig cannot?
Winbox and Webfig has identical functionality. The only difference is connection over MAC and drag/drop file function. In fact, both use the same config file for drawing the menus.
Because Winbox under wine really download files to wine Temp folder, but fail to integrate with gnome desktop, I make Nautilus action to move these files from Temp folder to current in Nautilus.
Big drawback, it work first time on open winbox. Second try, winbox quickly remove files after downloading 
Sometimes close and open Files window help, but it hard to reproduce.
But anyway it very handy, because download for me usually one shot action.
