The Mikrotik could ping the core, however, the customer put their Linksys back in place.
This customer does need WiFi, unfortunately, they prefer the Linksys over the Mikrotik. Out of 200 pings so far I've lost 1 and 1 jumped in latency. Trango's loopback test (sends frames/packets back and forth to see how many are dropped) was 100% successful. They are 0.1 miles away with a -51 rssi. I'm sorry I forgot to mention there are multiple PCs (4 IIRC) with the same issue - same email providers - which do work on other Internet connections.
