Yeah, we've had some bad 532's and now they are on the wall of shame at our office.... We love the 433 and the 433ah!

Dennis brought a really good fact to my attention. The rb411a and rb433 have the same CPU memory (though lacks both 2 minipci slots and 2 NICs, but this is an AP after all). On the vendors websites I browsed quickly the rb411a is often a good $20 cheaper. Has anyone had issues with the RB433/450 boards and a bad POE jack while the other ports work? I have a lot of 532s with this problem. I just saw this on the routerboard website - the R5H. High powered 5.8 card with an MMCX connector! Neat! http://www.routerboard.com/popup.php?kods=112&sess=98631dc4e28aadfbb21d6 633bb300ffd Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 Those who don't understand UNIX are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. --- Henry Spencer On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 4:35 PM, Dennis Burgess - LinkTechs.net < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I do prefer the 433AHs, however if you are only putting a single radio > card on it, then the 411A vs 433 is wash.
