We do as most of the others have said, but I will say it a little
differently, maybe.
We had dozens of 532 out, but have replaced them as they did not have
the horsepower we need at the APs. We us RB4xxAH for most everything at
a tower. 433AH where we need multiple ports are we are 100% routed.
Sometimes we put an AP and a backhaul link on the same 433AH. If the AP
is expected to have light traffic, a heavier backhaul, if the AP is
heavy traffic, maybe a redundant link. RB411AH is used for backhaul
links. We have been put R52n-M cards in them and get good performance
for backhauls.
CPEs are RB411. They, too, are fully routed, but no NAT. They do run
OSPF. Yes, we run routing protocol all the way to the CPE. It makes
some things much easier. The CPE is also where we use a simple queue
for bandwidth limiting.
I would think you would be most happy with the performance of the 400
series after using 532s. They are workhorse, to be sure, but the 400s
run better for us.

They're starting to die off, get hit by lightning, and we had a small stock
of spares. Now, I'm out.
What are you guys using as 532/532A replacement boards ? I've tried a 411,
not really likin it. Throughput seemed to be slower.
Let me know.
Thanks
