Most all of our x86 MikroTik routers are running v2.9.46, but we do have a few running v3.16. Yes, we did see the "fast clock" issue on versions 3.15, but it has not caused any of our routers to crash. They just had a fast clock.
Version 3.16 is supposed to resolve that problem, but we have still seen the "fast clock" happen even with v3.16. We typically don't upgrade MikroTik versions unless there is a feature we are looking for that current running version doesn't have or the version has a specific bug that affects what we are trying to accomplish. We still have x86 routers running v2.8 in some locations simply because we haven't needed to upgrade for any reason. No reason to "fix" something that isn't broken. <grin> Best, Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 11:26 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] MikroTik Multi-GigE and greater throughput...
