The winbox interface will do everything you need in the mesh setup. If you want a turn key solution, its not what you are going to use. I can see that as you want something you plug in and it does magic, maybe. lol.
There is no scripting that is needed in mikrotik, and like I said, you can use Winbox for all configuration changes. The web interface is not the way to go at all. There is a on-line Wiki, and a manual on-line that will tell you what you need to know, but you have to know how to implement it. its not "paste it in" and magic happens. As far as making the leap, man I don't think so. Eje I am sure would agree there? * ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, CCNA, A+, Mikrotik Certified Trainer WISPA Board Member - wispa.org <http://www.wispa.org/> Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services WISPA Vendor Member* *Office*: 314-735-0270 *Website*: http://www.linktechs.net <http://www.linktechs.net/> */LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training/* <http://www.linktechs.net/onlinetraining.asp> The information transmitted (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is intended only for the person(s) or entity/entities to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
