Maybe I upgraded the OS at that time. Maybe someone was screwing around in the cabinet and unplugged it. It is in Equinix CH1, maybe Equinix lost power. ;-) It probably should have a lesser uptime as I should be more consistent with OS upgrades, but it's firewalled from the world, so the risk is mitigated. My point was to illustrate that in general, Mikrotik is reliable. There may be edge cases that aren't. There are configurations that aren't. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions<https://imsva91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ics%2dil.com&umid=5B649195-B941-9305-8445-1FDBFAFD9CE2&auth=079c058f437b7c6303d36c6513e5e8848d0c5ac4-7609d9979a7b439220fcca83e6cf45630042ee52> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/googleicon.png]<https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/ICSIL> Midwest Internet Exchange<http://www.midwest-ix.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/linkedinicon.png]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/twittericon.png]<https://twitter.com/mdwestix> The Brothers WISP<http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> [http://www.ics-il.com/images/fbicon.png]<https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp>[http://www.ics-il.com/images/youtubeicon.png] <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> ________________________________ From: "Mark Radabaugh" <m...@amplex.net<mailto:m...@amplex.net>> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com<mailto:af@af.afmug.com>> Sent: Monday, January 18, 2021 3:45:09 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] router programming Wimpy.
