Hi Everybody,

I have two questions. First, for those of you using routerboards as
backhauls, how have you been setting up the link. I have been setting up a
wds link between the two units then setting up a bridge between the wireless
and wired interfaces. This seems to work fairly well and I get about 10-12
mbps full duplex of actual throughput. Are there any other setups that could
improve the throughput? I¹ve tried nstreme but have ended up turning if off
as it seems to lower the throughput in certain circumstances (these are
rb333¹s so I would think they have the processing power to handle nstreme)
Or has anybody setup a link using multiple cards?

Second, does routeros still not allow bridging two wireless cards on the
same board? I have setup wired-wireless bridges but I would like to setup a
wireless-wireless bridge so I don¹t have to have the board function as a
router. I believe this was a limitation in 2.9 but I don¹t know if it is
still a limitation in 3.x. The reason I don¹t want to setup the rb as a
router is because we do all our bandwidth limiting based on MAC at the NOC,
so I need transparent bridges.

As always I appreciate any responses or ideas. Thank you.
