Re: User Manager / Wireless Users

Thanks for the quick reply. My question on weather or not I need a separate RB (i.e RB750) from my AP (RB411AR) stems from my not understanding the following extracts from http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/User_Manager/Wireless_Example "Note, first local router database is consulted, then User Mana...
