Re: [WISPA] WTB: MikroTik RB/411 with blown ethernet ports

But, can it be repaired cost effectively? I have blown RouterBoard 532's, 230's, 112's, 133's as well as soekris and pc engines SBC's, and lucent/orinoco gear. How about the diversity switch on the UBNT sr2 and sr5 cards? Butch Evans wrote: On Fri, 2009-07-31 at 22:24 -0400, Scott

[WISPA] Routerboard 333 vs 433

Re: [WISPA] Radio Seperation

To be sure about co-channel interference, shut down 2 of the 3 AP's and test on the other one. Make sure to shut them all down, then bring up just the one to test... Down tilt should affect Tx and Rx about the same. But you have more loss on the Rx than the Tx. Are the arrestors polarized?

always used the gas tube units. Can't say much about the 1/4 wave units. Michael Baird wrote: Blair Davis wrote: To be sure about co-channel interference, shut down 2 of the 3 AP's and test on the other one. Make sure to shut them all down, then bring up just the one to test
