Worthy to note, in my opinion the value of the 532a was the daugherboard to allow 9 ports. Great for Industrial complex roof distribution to clients. The 600 series is the only new unit that supports the daugher card (arlge ports), and with greater than 200Mhz CPU processing to handle the processing work load for 9 clients. This is why I called the 600 the replacement for the 532a, now that the 532a is getting discontinued.
It appears the 433 is the equivellent COST replacement of the 532a, because it can deliver a bit more speed..
