I work very closely with Mikrotik and I do understand what you are saying. Lets do this...
What is the exact feature and results that we are looking for. The reason why I ask, is they will ask! This is what I got so far: 10 second test Test reliability of link Overall throughput of the link Packet loss, if any, on the link Overall link quality All of this calculated into ? a Percent? A number? Dennis M.

But you are right, the best approach might be to Email MT directly. But the truth is, Emailing support by an individual will likely not get results. Manufacturers tend to want to see numerous individuals interested in the command or feature to jsutify the effort doing it. By discussing these flaws on a list, is to get all the members familiar with why these tools are needed, and possibly more members will add additional support inquiriies to request these improvements. For one, I'd like to see the Mikrotik Consultants get involved in asking for these features. If the consultants that specialize in the product don't understand what we need, its not that likely that the manufacurer would either. Consultants that represent the manufacturer have much more pull with them, and a better relationship to discuss these things, and most importantly credabilty, to effect change. With Trango, we effect change, and the reason is that we deal direct with the manufacturer and they hear us. With channel support models, like Microtik offers, the manufacturer can lose touch with the end customer. It becomes an even worse problem when the manufacturer sells super cheap (which we like), and the volume grows and each end user's opinion becomes less relevent. One thing I'm very happy about was Mikrotik's support joining as a WISPA vendor member. (Butch, possibly you one also ?) I believe this gets WISP and Manufacturer closer in touch. I'm hoping that these threads are not misinterpretted as manufacturer bashing, but interpretted as communication, that will effect product improvements. The truth is MT probably offers better testing tools than most WIFI product out there. But there is still room for improvements.
