Hi Forbes.... A few questions/comments: : How long is the ethernet run?
About 50 feet We had a MTK client radio on an RB113 go irratic at times. We brought the 133 back into the office and had no problem accessing it with short length Cat 5 and the wireless worked great, same for the new 433A board. So this leaves us with the 433AH and one card working at the 50 foot length radio mount but not the 133 or 433a which work perfectly in the office. You can't upload into the MTK when using Winbox with the MAC address, only IPs. How about duplex/speed are they both matched? You might want to crank it to 10M/FULL and see if that helps. We can try this. Forbes -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Leon D.

Any ideas? Hi Forbes.... A few questions/comments: : How long is the ethernet run? We had a MTK client radio on an RB113 go irratic at times.
