[WISPA] Mikrotik RB411
I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that the Mikrotik RB411 boards are pieces of crap.Half of the ones I have failed during the cold spell this last week and it turns out that lots of other people have had the same problems.It is very frustrating to see that not all of the hardware we use has moved out of the amateur stage yet when it comes to quality control and design. Glad I only ever bought ten of them. They will be getting replaced with something reliable real soon. FWIW, the 411AH boards I have in place have been just fine.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik RB411
Matt... we have over 1,000 of the regular 411 boards in the air... including many point to point backhaul links. We saw temps down to -30F this last week and didn't have a single failure.

Same here.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik RB411
They started failing at 0F.Temps got to -25F in a few places. I'm running the R52 cards in ARC Wireless enclosures. Prebuilt by my vendor. Someone on another list suggested using a more powerful card as the extra heat is enough to keep the board warm. They are all running fine now, but who knows what will happen when we get another freeze?

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik RB411
How cold? It has gotten to probably -10 since I started deployment of 411s. Other than lightning, which damaged things other than the RB411, I haven't had a problem. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 2/5/2011 12:41 PM, Matt Larsen - Lists wrote: I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that the Mikrotik RB411 boards are pieces of crap.Half of the ones I have failed during the cold spell this last week and it turns out that lots of other people have had the same problems.It is very frustrating to see that not all of the hardware we use has moved out of the amateur stage yet when it comes to quality control and design.

Re: [WISPA] Mikrotik RB411
I have had problems with SR9 cards when cold. On a few units, also in the Arc enclosure, I have put 2 14-volt light bulbs in series and powered them from the 24 volt POE to the 411. Not a problem since then with the 2 I have tried this on. On 2/5/2011 5:04 PM, Matt Larsen - Lists wrote: They started failing at 0F.Temps got to -25F in a few places.
