No big surprise here. The problem with the municipal networks that I saw
was the cities that thought they were going to get all this infrastructure

Hey guys, I am looking for an 8-port, 10/100 managed switch for a remote site.
It needs to be a small form factor switch.
The weird part is that it needs to be 12V DC!
Anyone know of such a beast?
Thanks in advance,
ryan

As a wisp who has slowly, but consistently built out my network, thats a
bad theory. We build it where there is demand.

Whats your budget?
Linksys has one for about $150, then you can step up to industrial type
of units(Cisco, Moxa, Etherwan, Garret, Sixnet ect) those will start at
about $500 up ... they usually take 12 - 72 vdc

I have an RB133c that works great except it will not pass IP traffic on
the Ethernet port. I can log into the port with WinBox and MAC. I can
ping the port address from a device across the wireless. It just will
not move any IP traffic on the wire. Any suggestions?

Try replacing the SR2 with another CM9. We had problems when trying to

others would give us hell. Worth a shot if you have a spare CM9 card. I

Scott,
If you do a large byte ping do you get packet loss? We just replaced a
532 board that would ping fine until you sent a large ping to it. We have
seen this in the past with the 532's. The ethernet becomes weak.
Send a 1000 byte ping to it or whatever the proper terminology is
Was this device recoverable or just dead? I have a 532 that is exhibiting
the same thing.

The other end is CM9.
And with my fat fingers, another oops, it is a 5GHz link.

We just marked it as dead and sent it back. This particular AP had 65
customers on it and we are not going to trust it again. Even pings to the
ethernet side were poor. Pings from the mikrotik to associated customers
were fine.

Yeah, I think I am going to get SR5s on both ends.
With the winds we have been having, won't hurt to get someone up there
to confirm alignment, too.

A mesh system (even meshing on 2.4 along with the users) with the proper
