The CCR1016-12S-1S+ and CCR1072 are the only two that have dual supplies
built in into the chassis. Most Routerboards support redundant power via
jack and POE. The CCR1036 obviously doesn't support POE input. I thought
it has two internal power connectors, but only one is used? Maybe I'm
thinking of something else.

I know you know this. Diode voltage drop depends on current. If the
router has times when it is drawing significantly less current, then
the voltage drop will be less and vice versa. I know everyone cites
.6 volts for a PN silicon junction but it is more like double that on
many power rectifiers. A common 1N4004 has a 1 volt drop at 1 amp.
But only about .2 volts down in the microamp region.

*Subject: *[AFMUG] dual psu with diode, ccr1036 wierdness
to increase reliability on my new ccr1036 router, I decided to add
a second 24v psu and isolate the two with rectifier diodes. The
factory PSU puts out about 24v, after the diode drop it's about 23
and change, I installed a second psu and adjusted the output to
22v or about 21 and change after the diode.
I installed the router and started monitoring the reported voltage
by SNMP logging, I noticed it started out at 23v and then has been
slowly jumping down and back up to 22v any idea why it wouldn't
just keep taking power from the source with the highest voltage?
Is this going to be a problem? I was hoping to monitor for main
psu failure by sending an alert below 23v which would tell me if
the main PSU failed but for some reason this isn't working as
planned...
