After swapping DoM, RAM, power supply and even the motherboard it turned out to be a bad MikroTik RB44 NIC. Granted this is the first time I've ever seen a RB44 completely halt a MT router from booting, but it happened. Me too :D Over the last few months, I've had all manner of weird

I've wondered how those powerouters performed. It would be nice to have a Linux-based 1u 8 or 12 port router that we could run either Mikrotik or StarOS on . My preference would be StarOS. Mark Nash UnwiredWest 78 Centennial Loop Suite E Eugene, OR 97401 541-998- 541-998-5599 fax

I tested one about two months ago. We were pushing 120Mbps incoming and 50Mbps outgoing traffic with 10 simple queues and some firewall rules and the CPU was running at about 35%. Their claim is something like 5Gbps thru the box (using all ports at the same time). It was a pretty impressive

Not to be antagonistic, but rather to be better educated, let me ask you this. What does MT do that Star doesn't do in the routing arena? In terms of just routing and basic firewalling, the two are fairly comparable. I'm putting more and more Mikrotik RouterOS in my network because of all the

Some Other things to think of and comments from below *N-Stream Dual -- Very good at increasing bandwidth and full duplex operations. But also you can use other types of links, such as 150 meg and other solutions, in bridge and allow for failover between those and maybe simple 5gig radios.

I pulled out the one's in my MT boxes. They worked fine till they started to get loaded then they started slowing down. I now run multiple cards. Throughput was MUCH higher for me. 2 to 4 times. marlon - Original Message - From: Mark Nash [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List
