Hidden features: cable problems. Should this work on the RB750UP? Not seeing anything different here.

Do you have RouterOS v5.21 and latest RouterBOOT (check routerboard upgrade menu). I can see it on mine

so far it looks like driver is in v5.21, but console doesn't show relevant info.

only RouterOS v6 supports the cable diagnostic at this point

I believe it's not working at all on RB750GL. I tried on 5.21, then upgraded to the 6.0RC:

to view Acrobat/PDF - prefer eVince[even on Windows].
nice[but short/formal] CCR presentation.
also ROS 6.0 short promo -)

p.s.
WebFig fully working only on Chrome or MSIE. had minor issues on Opera and more serious on recent Firefox[17?] and Sea-monkey[2.14.1], for example - menus stuck in "Quick Set" page/caps regardless what/how you click in icon tree :(

Normis,

Happy to see the 2.4Ghz sxt.

Here in the states we really could use a ~14dBi and ~19dBi version also. We are still having to cobble together 711's and mix and match dual pol client antennas for dual chain NV2. Are you guys working on anything other than the 10dBi version?

Thanks,
Chadd

19dBi for 2GHz would be very big, not SXT size. So we would have to have another product line then.

19dbi @ 2ghz would be nice to see. About 16" across. More than likely one of your best sellers.

I hope you guys are working on it because it is a product that is needed, at least in the US. We are currently having to order 19dBi dual pole antenna/enclosures from China and assembling them with 2HnD boards to make up our clients. Also a 2Ghz omnitik would be really nice to see.

Yep not many uses for anything under 14dBi in our area at least, 19dBi is our most used CPE.
