I've mostly gotten rid of problems with Mikrotik ports not wanting to work
at 100M when 450 APs are powered from a 10/100 Syncinjector, by changing out
the WB surge suppressors from LV to GigE. One site still seems to have some
issues, which go away if using the onboard GPS and turning off sync over
power.
So I can change out the router, Syncinjector, surge suppressor, cable or AP.
If changing out the Syncinjector, I could use another 10/100 version or
spend the extra money for the GigE version.
Has anyone done a comparison? Is there any difference between the 10/100
and GigE versions as far as sync over power making Mikrotik Ethernet ports
flap at 100M and then stop advertising 100M altogether? I'm thinking it
could be worse because the power is actually going on the data pins via the
transformers, or better because it is using all 8 wires, or maybe it makes
no difference since power is still not across twisted pairs.
I do realize I won't get more than 100 Mbps throughput unless I use the GigE
version (duh!), but that doesn't seem to be a major issue with 20 MHz
channels and 256QAM.
