[WISPA] Microtik Remote Weirdness

2009-01-20 Thread Forbes Mercy
We have a tower with a single radio operating on it. We were using a Microtik 133 board with a single Prizim chipset in it. One day it stopped responding to requests through the network using Winbox. No customers were down so we assumed it was running bandwidth (too much snow to travel up there)

MikroTik :) So the only change you made between the hut and up on the tower is changing what the other end of the poe was and the line up the tower. This means your switch, poe, or the lines have gone bad. I'd replace the poe and patch cable first (and the switch if that is what it is in). If th

Hi Forbes, good news and bad news. Let me start with the good news. You are not alone! The bad news is the same of the good news, lately, we are having a lot of problems on the ethernet. It looks like the ethernet port has a lower speed (like 200Kbps) or that you cannot even log in it. Does it s

Hi Josh, to be honest the 4xx are giving us problems. We have a lot of boards with "strange behaviors", I have a desk full of "suspected of..., probably does not do ". I cannot tell you if the 5xx (e.g. 532) series were worse. We still have some 532/532A installed with 2.9.x and they work great,

The 333 board sucked. That simple. I have dozens of customers with RB411 CPEs and our power is pretty good - never had to reboot the CPE for the last 6 months (we started deploying them 6 months ago). The 133 did have that power problem and I saw it many times, however, a $50 UPS can fix that.
