Re: [Soekris] I see development of the net6801 has been dropped.
Howdy, On the low end, I would say a Banana Pi R1 router is comparable. I have one and it has problems, but is usable. I have only used it on slow networks(like 4 mbps down and 1 up. Cnewer chipsets with eight 64 bit cpus should be able to keep up with much faster traffic at low power.

By the way, what is the comparable ARM hardware? I tried searching but I keep finding Raspberry Pi and such stuff. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

Howdy, I think this was a smart move. When I saw the original announcement for the 6801, I thought it was a bad idea. That kind of CPU with the support chips it needs is not cost effective. I hope they switch to a 64 bit arm design. Good day, Ralph ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

It's in the "Latest News" column of the Home page: " Latest News *October 6, 2015:* Development of the net6801 has been shelved indefinitely due to high production and component costs. We appreciate your interest."

Re: [Soekris] I see development of the net6801 has been dropped.
Guess I picked up my used net6501-70 on e-bay just in time! Has anybody experimented with PCIe ethernet switching cards? I have been looking at the DualComm DCP-1004(L), which might be a nice way to do switching through my net6501 without using the onboard CPU for layer-2. I was having trouble finding examples of applications that others have used, so I'm wondering how stable they are. -Dan On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 10:09 AM Vadim Troshchinskiy wrote: > On Tuesday, October 06, 2015 04:38:51 PM Stephen Mintz wrote: > > I am crushed as well.

Here I am starting to see ads for 300 Mbps fiber and the old hardware just won't do for that. It's been managing about 70 Mbps on my 100 Mbps line, so it definitely won't do for the next bandwidth upgrade. The page cites cost issues, but I do not think people buy such things because they are cheap. Among other things, I am looking for something more flexible and reliable than my ISP's router, which needs power cycling every few weeks, and I am willing to pay extra for that. Besides, Lanner seems to have something out already. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] I see development of the net6801 has been dropped.
I am crushed as well. Hoping to retire my 5501-70. I hope Soekris reconsiders.

[Soekris] I see development of the net6801 has been dropped.
I just saw the news on soekris.com This is very unfortunate. I was looking forward to it, as my net6501-70 has been having trouble keeping up with my fiber connection. Are there any other plans to release something more powerful than the net6501-70? ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
