We knew what you meant because the 433 has three ports and 411 has one. I do suggest putting a 433ah up there if you plan to have some good usage. Saving 50 dollars isn't worth playing with the board upgrade game for the capacity it provides. If the 433ah does work then your line is probably goo

The port on the mikrotik could be damages as well. It may work fine when the cable length is 5 feet but not when the cable is longer. David Blood > -Original Message- > From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On > Behalf Of Josh Luthman > Sent: Tuesday, Janu

MikroTik :) So the only change you made between the hut and up on the tower is changing what the other end of the poe was and the line up the tower. This means your switch, poe, or the lines have gone bad. I'd replace the poe and patch cable first (and the switch if that is what it is in). If th

We have a tower with a single radio operating on it. We were using a Microtik 133 board with a single Prizim chipset in it. One day it stopped responding to requests through the network using Winbox. No customers were down so we assumed it was running bandwidth (too much snow to travel up there)
