Hello All,

1. Can any one please tell me that if Mikrotik supports 802.11n boards???
2. Is it possible to run Mikrotik existing boards with 802.11n boards, if it is possible then please tell me what will be the maximum throughput can be achived?

Thanks ..

no

Is this means, that Mikrotik does not supports any 802.11n cards and also we can not run existig Mikrotik boards with 802.11n cards???

Regards

yes, that is exactly what I said.

You have to wait a while until RouterOS starts supporting 802.11n

Does have MikroTik staff already started developing something on 802.11n standard? Any idea when it will be available to the public?

I think its going to be a surprise, and we are alll going to be so happy when they do

Do not try to fool Mighty Kalviz, you Normis the Mortal! ))))
RouterOS supports 802.11n, at least some particular interfaces.

Oh Mighty Kalviz, please, do tell. What specific hardware were you able to get functioning and does the 802.11n actually work or does an "n" card work but only in a mode? If you've got such a setup working don't let us all drool too long before you give some details.

I just found out about the MicroTik product line and I think it's great!!

My question is: does the RB600A (with 4 mini-PCI slots) have enough
processor bandwidth to support 4 802.11n links?

An 802.11n link transfers upto140Mbps in each direction. So 4 links, in both
directions would be a total bandwidth of 1120Mbps.
The RB600A overview says it supports 61.4Kpps @ 1500Byte packets
which is approx 740Mbps. This seems too less.

Is my analysis correct?

Didn't they say they don't support 802.11n yet? |Besides you could use an X86 system with but loads of processor and memory to transfer that much data. (doughtfull but....)

Not sure what you're saying Jordan...

I'm concerned about the processor that's inside the RouterBoard. Will it
be able to keep up with 4 802.11n links? I don't think an external processor
could provide any assistance in this scenario.

2ghz-11n -?

Just because the feature is there as an option does not mean that it actually works. I have yet to see anyone who has had success installing an 802.11n card in anything running Mikrotik and actually see 802.11n speeds. There are reports of using 802.11n cards (SR71-A or the like) and getting 802.11a speeds but I haven't seen anything that indicates the MIMO features of these cards are working.
