We have a CCR bought more than an year ago (or so). It was running the factory installed code and wouldn't run more than a day without locking up. I'm sorry I can't remember the code version but there are some messages from me on the list from back then. It was so bad that I finally RMA'd it, but never sent it back. Instead it became a paperweight.
About 3 months ago I put 6.10 on the paperweight and left it running. I forgot about it until a month ago. Lo and behold it had been running all that time just sitting there. On the old firmware it would have locked up many, many times. So we went ahead and deployed it as an auxiliary edge router (for when our i386 one finally dies). It has been running fine and I'm starting to use it for a few things, mostly EOIP experiments. So far so good. So perhaps the worst bugs are out of the CCR now.

I peer with AT&T and Time Warner off that edge. When I pull the cat5 and plug a lap top in, pings are fine. Plug the edge back in and triple digit latency pops up every little bit. No real pattern, only lasts a few pings then back to single digits. CPU not even close to taxed, memory good, links look good and manually configured, full routing table from both peers, RouterOS 5.22. I plan to update that to 5.26 just to see if there is a difference. This router is an x86 PowerRouter 732 which was purchased quite some time ago so pretty much would be one of first ready mades that came out. My thinking is maybe I need to purchase something more up to date that is in use. Thoughts and what are you guys using for an edge router? I seen CCRs mentioned but seems like folks were having issues with them.
