It's the same chip as the 100 series (150,133,112,etc.).  It's a 175 
MHz processor.


The 333 is listed as running on a PPC chip, which isn't supported 
by any older version of RouterOS.


This is correct.  The new routerboards (300, 800 and 1000 series) 
will only be supported in version 3.x.  That's what MT said at the 
MUM.


Didn't the RouterBoard 500s have the same problem at release (where 
they were only supported by the still-beta RouterOS 2.9 software)?


Yep.  2.8.x was never compiled for the MIPS platform.

No, but it is a GOOD first step toward creating certified systems. 
If I were to try to build a certified system on the older boards, 
I'd have to spend more money, because more tests would have to be 
run.


FWIW, I'm not sure where the idea that they would put the sticker on

Maybe someone can post the link to the FCC docs showing their certification?

Also, you will notice their PoE only supports up to 28VDC now, rather 
than 48VDC like the RB532. They probably couldn't get the boards to pass 
FCC at 48V.

Re: [WISPA] MT announces RB192 and RB333

2007-08-04 Thread Travis Johnson
Are you finding v3 to be a stable, functioning OS right now? I attempted 
to load it on a 532 board about two months ago and the board would 
reboot or lock-up about every 3-5 days. I put 2.9.40 back and it has 
been up solid since then.


I did see about a 10% improvement on the wireless speeds with v3, but it 
just wasn't stable.

RE: [WISPA] MT announces RB192 and RB333

2007-08-04 Thread Stephen Patrick
Chipping in here,
To be fair to MT:
AFAIK It's harder/more expensive to design 48V-input power supplies (the
chips on most boards require some mix of 5.0/3.3/2.5V or other rails) than
lower voltages.
Of course 48V is desirable by users, because of lower cable loss, enabling
longer runs. I had this debate with the MT people some time back, in favour
of 48V.
It seems there are far more 12-30V chipsets, and easier-to-implemet designs,
than at 48V.  
Also, telco environments always have 48V (36-72 a common spec)
But commercial pressures (people only buy high volumes at low price points)
probably guided the 28V max non-isolated decision.  

Also, relevant point:
Some boards out ther have **isolated** input PSUs.  The RB532 and 112 for
example.
However, most boards don't.  Well isolation costs money (read: custom-wound
transformer, other components) but non-isolated designs are cheaper.
Well that depends on your deployments - some environments cope with
non-isolated roof/tower-top devices fine - and some don't.  Important to
consider that.

I hope that comment is of help -

Regards
