Any ideas? Hi Forbes....
A few questions/comments: : How long is the ethernet run? We had a MTK client radio on an RB113 go irratic at times. You can't upload into the MTK when using Winbox with the MAC address, only IPs. How about duplex/speed are they both matched? You might want to crank it to 10M/FULL and see if that helps.
