MikroTik

I should do a backhaul link (point to point - 8-9 Km) with NSTREAM2 and ubiquity XR5 pci-card. I want to obtain the best performace, now I see the new RB433AH , so I don't know if buying a RB600 or the newest RB433AH.
Some experience in heavy backhaul traffic?

Thanks

I think RB433AH fast than RB600A ..

rb600 could be overclocked to 533mhz...

nah, use RB600 because it has Gigabit card nomatter what you use in RB433AH, you can't use more than 100 Mbit.

rb600 could be overclocked to 533mhz...

How?

it's simple

/system routerboard settings change-frequency frequency=533MHz
/system reboot

Thanks I think to use RB600

I read some post that said about the very good performance of rb433AH@800MHz
but I look "RouterBOARD Power Series; Throughput comparison" and I see the performance of RB600 at 1500 packet
Is it true? Which is the maximum over-clock of RB600?

RB600 has GIGABIT ports!!!

So you are suggesting that the wireless traffic on the 433ah will be limited by the Ethernet you can pass to it, and thereby on both the 600 and 433ah the wireless performance can exceed 100mb?

I'm also failing to understand why even a 100Mb ethernet port will ever be maxt out considering you seldom get internet speeds of that nature. Unless I've got the thread by the short and curlies again.

I tested RB600 and RB433Ah and a wrap Board with 500 MHz as well. The best performance was with the WARP Board, followed by the RB433Ah and than comes the RB600. Ok, it has a GB port but if I test the 1 GB port with Btest I get not more than 60-70 Mbit in half duplex. So for what do I need a 1 GB Port if it even does not have 100 Mbit? The WRAP Board has 90 MB in half-Duplex and the 433AH has 70 MB and in half and 35 MB in full-Duplex.

impossible, please change your testing methods.

Strange, can you explain your test?
I want to buy rb600, next month I hope,for a PtP link with 2 solid dish dual polarisation (pacific wireless)
I think rb600 with two XR5 and nstream2 is the best solution, the rb600 is overclockable up to 533..is correct?
Is powerpc fastest than WrapBoard cpu?

I had the same results. WRAP boards with 500 Mhz are the fastest ones, followed by RB433AH and than came the RB600.

WARP 90 MB TCP
433AH 50-60 MB TCP
RB600 35-45 MB TCP

Everthing made with Btest one way from a Windows XP Notebook with 100 MB direct to the boards without a switch. I tested as well the RB800, which seems very much faster, but is eally more expensive....

WARP 90 MB TCP
433AH 50-60 MB TCP
RB600 35-45 MB TCP

Is that GB as in Giga-Bytes or as in Giga-bits per second?

it is port speed as all GB ports are Gbps and not GBps
