Also note that 333s are going by the wayside too. The 400 series is really the main workhorse right now. * --- Dennis Burgess, CCNA, A+, Mikrotik Certified Trainer WISPA Board Member - wispa.org http://www.wispa.org/ Link Technologies,

We usually use proprietary radios for customer hookups, but do ocassionally use MTs for that. It doesn't really matter too much for that sort of use; used 532, 333, 433, crossroads, etc... For absolutely everywhere we'd use an RB, we are only using 433AH for new stuff. They are not that much

anybody got any real world experience of the performance difference between the RB 333 vs the RB 433? The 333 has a 333MHz PowerPC and the 433 has a Atheros AR7130 300MHz...But which is faster in the real world? How about the RB 532A with the MIPS 32 4kc at 266MHz? Hard to compare different

333 is junk all around, quick or not. How many 3xx boards do you see? 532 is extremely fast but has a long history of losing the ethernet half of eth1. There are many people including myself that had to climb up many towers to put two pairs on eth2 because this. 433 is good. Nothing stands

The 333 boards are crap. We installed about 15 of them before we realized all the problems (overheating, flaky ethernet, etc.). We have over 1,000 of the RB411's installed and they work great. Travis Microserv Blair Davis wrote: anybody got any real world experience of the performance

411 and 433 are the same short of two extra ethernet ports and mini pci afaik. I'm with Travis though, many 411 CPEs. On 7/8/09, Travis Johnson t...@ida.net wrote: The 333 boards are crap. We installed about 15 of them before we realized all the problems (overheating, flaky ethernet, etc.).

No hard data, but I have replaced 532 and 532A with 333 and seen better link performance. I have replaced 333 with 433 and seen no real difference. Replacing 333 with 433AH probably does, but I really don't have any evidence. Blair Davis wrote: anybody got any real world experience of the

We have the 333 deployed in a bunch of situations, they work pretty well for us, but, for the price go for the 433. 532's were ok, they're old style now and don't have the near the performance of the 3xx or 4xx boards. -Kevin On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 8:05 PM, Scott

Well the boot times of the 532 are superior to any other routerboard I've used. Don't know how that reflects on it's performance in PPS as it could simply be a faster storage device. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 When you have

If I call, the RB600 boots in about 6 seconds from the time the power is applied to the time you get the beeps. We had a link that one of the boards was bad, and was rebooting 4 or 5 times a day, but we never noticed it because it would reboot so fast... Travis Microserv Josh Luthman wrote:

Thanks for all the comments... I have RB 112,133,230,333,411,433,532 in service. I've lost two 532's to on board power supply failure, one 532 to a direct lighting strike. I've lost one 112 to Ethernet port failure, and a 133 to unknown causes My 333's, 411's and 433's have been flawless.
