Re: Apple devices won't connect

This FT keeps generating issues. My network worked without any issues (FT and FT over DS enabled) but when upgrading to 7.17 stable i could not connect two older ipads. Disabling the whole FT thing resolved the problem.

Not happy with this...

Unable to connect on 2.4GHZ 802.11n - any suggestions

Asking for advise here: I've set my 2.4GHZ network to N only (and lower) as my (older) ring doorbell will not accept the 802.11ax standard. This works fine. Now i was just toying around with a wireless radio (teufel radio 360) and i was unable to connect it to the 2.4 GHZ 802.11n network, same appli...

Re: CRS310-8G+2S+ with free flying heat sink

Yes - using 2 extra holes and a push pin solves the issues. The current issues are clearly a design fault. Seems MT used a PCB design bureau that does not have that much experience in this area given the design mistakes (heatsink, fan connector, fan noise). i rather pay 10-15 euro's more and have th...

Re: CRS310-8G+2S+ with free flying heat sink

Just wondering : could a free flying heatsink cause a short-circuit / be a fire hazard? If so they might be at risk of getting this device pulled from the market..
Or am i just talking bs here?

In any case i am going to hold off a new purchase until this is fixed (vertical mount is required for me)
