Re: [Mikrotik] RB532 AP Issues
Just curious if the improvements are being seen in the 3.16 version, or if the wireless-test package has to be enabled to see the improvements.

Ew- - that dirty sap sucker. I would leave him down for about 24 hours and when he calls whining - tell him he did it when he stole an IP.

I think i found the problem. Had a user downloading something off www.moparisthebest.com using 2 public IP addresses, so he was getting twice the bandwidth he should. Shut him down and all is good. He's got some explaining to do as to why he removed the router and put in a switch.

The box is 100' up a tower and it's 30 degrees out. I don't want to brick it. Downgrade from 3.x to 2.9.x WILL remove ALL wireless configuration.
