1. 40 meg out of a 532, maybe with no rules, etc. . But thats pushing it! 2. The PowerPC platform is suppose to the be the fastest, with the lower processor in terms of MHZ. However, there are plenty of other options, such as x86 solutions out there that will give you the speed plus the reliability. 3. The 433AH is another Atheros processor, and it has been giving quite a bit better throughput, this came out after the 600. 4. The replacement for the 532 is the 433, not the AH or the 600. The 600 cames out as a high-performance multiple AP device, or actually extreme performance AP in MTs words. The 433 comes just as close if not a bit better than the 532. The 433Ah is the one with the special processor that shoots the performance up.
Basically MHZ don't show preformance. I remember when an AMD chip would preform just as good as a Intel chipt at much slower speeds, why they changed to Ahtlon 3800+ etc vs speed ratings. Same difference with these boards. Think of it like a celeron and a Pentium chip, the Celeron is cheap as heck, but I have never thought highly of them compared to the same speed Pentium chip. ------------------------------ * Dennis Burgess, CCNA, A+, Mikrotik Certified Trainer Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services* 314-735-0270 http://www.linktechs.net <http://www.linktechs.net/> */ Link Technologies, Inc is offering LIVE Mikrotik On-Line Training <http://www.linktechs.net/onlinetraining.asp>/* Tom DeReggi wrote: > >From our experience, we believe it is not possible. > > However, had a related question... > > We have found processing power to be a big issue to enable full throughput > of APs > My understanding is that the 532 is being replaced with the 600 series, that > also supports the daughterboard.. > > (Disclaimer: rough estimates below, without specifying configurations, exact > results on routerboard's website). > > 532a (266-400mhz MIPs)was quoted around 10-15,000 pps. > 433AH (roughtly 700Mhz Atheros) around 30-40,000 pps. > 600 series (200-400mhz PowerPC NetProc) was quoted around 50-60,000 pps. > > So its understandable the 433AH would outperform the 532. > > Question is....
