Ciao Gerd

Still no comments ?

Ciao Gerd

these are hardwired to the minipci slots

Ciao Gerd

Ciao Gerd

See manual


Notes
For some Ethernet NICs it is possible to blink the LEDs for 10s. Type /interface ethernet blink
ether1 and watch the NICs to see the one which has blinking LEDs.

And what about the other 4 LED's ? obove power and USER LED ?
How to manage them to blink ?

OK to find solution for my weird plans i'd like to give you what i would like to do (i thought about it and as more i think about it as more i think i need to upgrade my rb532 at least with a rb502 :-) 1. I need a P2P link to #2 2. also i would need an "external" AP for #1 and others (in f...

when i look straight to #1 i have #2 on the right side some degrees more..

Ah, I see. So the small vertical beam width of you omni is killing you... Not much to do against that (apart from perhaps using another omni with larger vertical beam width). Regarding the "my WRT is using two antennas": This is something called "diversity" - but that's not two ...

OK ! at 1st a question is it hw base or os based that i can't do that (e.g. my wrt does it) ? to my "problem" i hva e2 neighbours (let's call them #1 and #2) #1 is next to my house approx. 30 m away #2 is approx 140m away to #1 i have perfect LOS to #2 i have "bad" LOS (some tree...

hi !

is it possible to use both antennas for rx & tx ?
i have two panel antenna's to cover my two neigbours ?
Omni does not work proper (means bandwith too small)

Ciao Gerd

afaik linksys WRT does not run with routeros....
i'm running openwrt on 2 of those boxes here and try to replace them with a rb532/ros and an artem w2000.
Wrt's also have a mipsel cpu but for those parts better use openwrt/dd-wrt/sveasoft

Hi ! I setup a routerboard as NTP Client. i'd like to have it running in local timezone (GMT+1) now i saw that i have to setup start and end of DST manually. Is ther a way to set it up via TZ varibale ? Like it did in openwrt ? inside /etc/TZ => CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/1,M10.5.0/1 sets up DST in correct ma...

Hi !

I'm thinking about to buy an atheros minipci wifi card for routerboard 532 with ros 2.9.
I read in description for hardware about the "XR" feature (extended range e.g. sensivity about -105dBm)
Is this supported by router os ?
Chip is a AR5004X

Ciao Gerd

What for you need such a lot wds interface ? I think it's not a "limit" but your hardware is not able to handle more.. Btw: isn't it possible to downgrade Wds links to regular clients ? I have only one wds link (ok at this time with WRT54G) but i'm amazed of bandwith lost when i compare it...

Only for the proxy or also for sone Sites for a webserver/ftp server ?

Ciao Gerd

Hi !

For storing Weppages or ftp server ?
