We had several issues while upgradin RB112 and RB133c boards to v3.x RouterOS.
1. CPU usage goes sky high
2. Board dies after upgrade. It is impossible to get it working even with serial cable.

You need to uninstall/disable all unnessecary packages. V3 takes more resources..

The problem is not SNR related. As has been mentioned, just having a client associate causes the problem. The more clients connected, the longer the timeout or high ping times.

Ok, this is R52 limitations, or all compatible radio cards? This is radios in general i think. You have a certain limit within the 802.x protocols. This is why Nstreme is so handy.

Diganet

You would have to use routing and be able to assign IP adresses to the modems.. RouterOS can then monitor and change routes if link goes down.

/Henrik

Diganet

You are accumulating packetloss over the links. That is why you see so much drop in bandwith. You will have to make sure that the CCQ for every link is close to 100% if you want to move 10 Mbit over it. Also you should be able to move around 15 Mbit TCP between them at least.
