Is there any plans to release PWR-Line products with UK Plugs? and some with the 24v Barrel Jack instead of Micro USB?

Would be great to use it with a hAP AC2

As hAP ac2 can't be powered through USB (and USB connection is required), this kind of setup becomes questionable ... since PL[67]411-2nD has it all (and more :wink:) and the price difference is not outrageous ($42 for full device VS. $29 for power + homePlug adapter) ...

Always nice to see new telco powered stuff!

The new CCR-1036es, do they use soldered-in RAM or DIMMs or something else?

Does the RBGESP support POE? And if so, how much current/voltage and is it over 2 pair or 4 pair? Is it avalanche diodes?

@normis What are the ports which need to be opened for the app to work? I was expecting that it would be the same as the WinBox, which I have on a different port, but it does not connect OR does it not have the ability to connect using as WinBox using a different port from standard?

EDIT: Have been looking through and wonder if it is API-SSL as this is the nearest I seem to be able to get to a connection.

Winbox port is the only thing the smartphone apps use, make sure you have no limits in "ip services" under winbox, and see how your firewall rules are ordered.

What is the throughput of the powerline equipment, its not exactly reviewed at smallnetbuilder.com ;-)

Block diagram for US-variant says it uses QCA6410 chip for powerline interface (block diagram of EU variant states some AR chip, but I believe it's an error). Chip's specifications state peak speed: 200Mbps. Which is misleading, HomePlug AV standard says 200Mbps is at physical layer while MAC layer reaches about 80Mbps.

But then this largely depends on the state of electrical wires in the building so realistic number might be anything between almost zero and almost 80Mbps.

okay thanks mkx its probably safe to assume to look at similar models with the same chip.........
Edit:
the top ranked powerlines - have QCA7500 (which came out in 2015)
Lesser ranked powerlines - have the older QCA7450 (circa 2014 ish)
https://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/qua ... etworking/

So we are supposed to get excited about a product that came out in 2012 with some bells and whistles around it???
YOu can probably find consumer products with the hunk and junk performance of that chip in the junk bin or on ebay for about $5.
https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/ ... er-roundup

What is key about the QCA7450 and 7500 chips is the huge leap in performance due to better use of the electrical wiring which cleans up the connectivity in terms of cross circuit and general noise.
Wait, let me get my betamax out, polish the turd and sell it with an attached USB cable and a pOE port and brand it Mikrotik. ;-P

- S+RJ10 improvements
does it mean they run less hot than before so we can use them in each sfp+ slot next to each other?

Sadly I have to consume its foul milk. I'm sure they'll be on one day.
