You should probably read the changelogs.  I had a few weird issues on 
older firmware...like version 6.7 or so.  I never had it crash 
completely, the worst thing was an issue where ethernet ports would 
flap.  It's been a year or more since anything unexpected happened to me 
with a CCR, but in the changelogs I still see bugs being fixed that cite 
crashing under specific circumstances.

There was one problem I had that I don't know if it was resolved. If I 
put an SFP module into an SFP+ port, I couldn't get ethernet link to 
another unit that had the SFP module in an SFP port.  I tried it several 
times because I thought in theory these things were backwards 
compatible, but it never worked for me and I just stopped trying that 
configuration.

I have a feeling if you go out of your way to find things that crash it, 
you'll find some.  Though if you do, I hope you'll report it to Mikrotik 
support.

Ok thanks�

Any stability issues with them in general?  I know this is a broad 
question .. I�ll be comparing this to what I�m used to (Cisco/Juniper) 
which are traditionally rock solid for years on end

I tested some smaller units before and managed to melt them down 
pretty quickly .. granted it wasn�t for WISP application and we were 
going out of our way to try and take them offline (testing)

You won't have a performance problem.� Before firewall rules you'll 
be at like 2% CPU.�

I don't think they make the 36 core unit with dual power 
supplies....which is something I never understood.� Otherwise I 
think you'll like what it does and how easily it does it.


    Anyone used one of these � any feedback?

    I�m getting involved with a wireless expansion project probably
    at some point and these Routerboard CCR1036-8G-2S+EM were
    specified in the project plans.

    �

    Roughly speaking, 600-800Mb/s of traffic going through them �
    roughly 2500 PPPOE users terminating on it (BRAS).� This is just
    an estimate at this point�.

    �

    Whether I like it or not, it looks like I�m swimming into
    Routerboard and Ubiquiti territory �. K
