I use the RB1200 as my baseline because it supports high enough MTUs on all ports to support higher dollar services like MPLS\VPLS.

We are talking about a backhual and 2-5 Ubiquiti and Canopy APs. I have used a RB750 or a RB450 at some sites with good results but I need more ports. I am looking at the RB493 or RB493AH. I can see the differences as far as clock speed, memory, and license. For the amounts of data these sites will be pushing and the minimal firewalling/routing needed I am thinking the RB493 will be fine. Does anyone have experience with these models and have any feedback or warnings? I am not routing currently but I am replacing switches with RouterBoards so that I can start that transition at some point. With that in mind should I lean towards the RB493AH? I need the ports so is it a matter of adding another RB as router later and leaving this as the switch? More than anything I don't want to buy a model with a known fatal flaw or buy something that I will only have to upgrade in a short while. -Ty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
