Hi Patrick of all the MikroTik Platforms you have mentioned the MikroTik 2011UiAS is probably the least stable platform we have ever used from MikroTik, We have had alot of weird issues with that platform in ROuter OS6 (packets no longer being natted... no log entry for a reason not natting them and poor tunnel stability with them. (we have thousands of MikroTik in the Field) and this is not just our experience it is other client experience also
regarding the APU2 the only minor issue I have had was poor SD cards and poor msata cards.... other than that the platform has been solid for us... like I said SD cards the S may stand for S*#t :) also the guys at PC engines have been very helpful to support us on hardware questions On 8 April 2018 at 15:39, Patrick Dohman <dohmanpatr...@gmail.com> wrote: > As much as I’d rather not point the blame I found the APU platform buggy when > running OpenBSD. > Yes there are reports of stability with other O.S however subtle > hardware/firmware bugs appeared on several OpenBSD releases. > I’m actually in the other boat when it comes to hardware stability being an > excuse however openbsd'd excellent embedded footprint does well at disclosing > subtle hardware issues. > I’m currently running a MikroTik 2011UiAS that is built on A mips processor. > Quite honestly I’ve found the secret of stability on the network hardware > arena to be distinct/discrete hardware. > Router ——> Firewall —— > Switch ——> Access point.
