Consider the volume we sell I will have to disagree. We see no more RMA rate
now then a year or two ago and in fact less then some manufacturers estimate
about 1 to 2% rma rate.
Consider how they grown and managed to get price down I'm surprised its not
more/higher.

Moreover, I suspect the overall quality of Mikrotik hardware is not very
good and it's getting even worse.
To begin with they're not the best by they are far from "not very good" in
my opinion. As far as progression, though, they have majorly improved. The
RB4xx series is BY FAR superior to the RB1xx and RB5xx boards. I think the
532s were absolute junk, while the 1xx were decent. The 4xx has been
flawless in my area. I have had no DOAs and only one hit by lightning. No
random failures!

Hi Forbes,
good news and bad news. Let me start with the good news.
You are not alone!
The bad news is the same of the good news, lately, we are having a lot
of problems on the ethernet. It looks like the ethernet port has a lower
speed (like 200Kbps) or that you cannot even log in it. Does it sound
familiar to you?
On some site, it can be some EM field close to you. That's why when you
try it in your lab everything works magically. You are out of that EM
field, and the interference is gone. Even using shielded cable does not
help, because it could attenuate the effect not fix at 100%. Moreover it
depends if the shield is grounded to the metallic shell of the box, etc.
Moreover, I suspect the overall quality of Mikrotik hardware is not very
good and it's getting even worse.
Suggestions:
1) try shielded cable
2) try some ferrule on the shielded cable
3) test electrical continuity of the circuit from the cable plug on one
side to the box (other side)
4) change power supply
5) if you are using an inject/splitter, change it
Let us know!
Thank you.
We have a tower with a single radio operating on it. We were using a
Microtik 133 board with a single Prizim chipset in it. One day it
stopped responding to requests through the network using Winbox. No
customers were down so we assumed it was running bandwidth (too much
snow to travel up there). One night about 7 PM we started getting tower
down calls, of course we hadn't been able to ping or get into it for
weeks so we had no idea.
Took a back-up 433AH board up and used the same radio card, worked like
a charm for both our access and customer throughput. We didn't want to
waste a three port/LAN board so ordered a 433a single port board. Once
it arrived we logged into it by MAC in the office with no problem,
programmed it and sent it up to the tower. Once on the tower customers
associated just fine but once again we couldn't access the management
side. We saw the MAC and the identity for it but we couldn't ping that
IP (yes, the 433AH radio was unplugged) and trying to load by MAC would
start the RouterOS download but at various places it would crash.
Moved the 433A down to the hut and a laptop easily logged into it, even
when plugged into the switch, but we still couldn't log into it from
remote, although the laptop on scene was going through the same switch
and by MAC just like we were trying, sigh. OK we put the 433AH back in
service and again everything worked great. I'm stumped, we isolated the
switch, Cat 5, and IP Address but those two single cards won't allow us
to log in over using Winbox either by IP or by MAC while it allows it
locally. *banging head against the wall. Any ideas?
