Hello sergejs I am testing LNS from mikrotik, and on the other side (as LNA) there should be a cisco. Well I guess so. The problem that I see is the following: it seems that the max rate is always configured at 10Mbit, whatever I try. In few words each entry from the PPPoE will have a max download s...

I still have serious issues of missing menus with 5.x versions. I deleted the whole data into the %appdata%\Mikrotik\Winbox\ folder. The first time I open a version 5.x routeros, menus are there. The second time, I have missing menu items (Wireless, PPP, Routing) It's unusable for everybody has vers...

Winbox 3 RC5

not sure if somebody else already reported, but the PPP menu disappeared. All the PPP interfaces are "there" in the general menu, but something is weird. The PPP menu is gone and also from terminal the pppoe-client is empty

I had to reinstall Winbox 3 beta 3.

Thanks

considering that mikrotik does not support MLPP Server, I was wondering which router is supporting MLPP

Can't get to that box right now but it was probably a late version 2.9 on a RouterBoard 532. CPU usage wasn't an issue.

Kind regards

we have more than 10 boxes mixed 2.9.46 and 2.9.50. It's not a version thing, because some of the 2.9.46 got frozen and the same about 2.9.50.

Cheers.

Haven't tried the ASA but it works fine using a PIX (v8) as the concentrator.

Andrew, we tested it with ros 2.9.x and it does not work well. The ros machine goes to 100% and we experience ping looses. Did you try with 3.x or 2.9?

Thank you

pdf

Hi All

I updated to ros 3.2 on RB333 and when dfs=radar detect it locks the machine. When pinging I had 30% successful packages and 70% lost. Fortunately I could telnet into the box and disable the wlan. Rebooting did not help.

Thank you.

RouterBOARD 333 uses a different architecture, 2.9 isn't made to support it, so No.
RB192 uses the same as other RB100 series, so Yes it will work with 2.9.

Therefore only 3.X right?

Thank you

Question: does 2.9 run on these cards?

Thank you

we haven't started selling indoor cases for RB333 yet, so you must be using the RB133 case, which will have similar problems with the larger RB333 device.

Any plan for the outdoor case for RB333?

Any plan for a CE product (base station) based on the RB333? If yes, when?

Thank you.

It is small 150x200 mm. one 100 mbit ethernet.what chip i dont know.As I said seller told that this board is 4x powerfull then 5xx RB.
