lol.. Thanks George. They both work very well. Only reason why I still "stuck" with MT is because at first the Routerboards didn't support Star-OS and when I start to play with the MT and wireless I started to like it a lot and then on top of things you have 5.2-5-3,5.8Ghz support in MT. So often I end up building 5Ghz backhaul and using 802.11b to do ptmp support from there. Cleans up 2.4 and leave it for ptmp as well get better speeds so can easily support 2-4 ptmp APs out there at one location with one backhaul solution. Last time I heard there where no immediate plans to get that support in Star-OS.
