I'm begging (and asking for you to join me) Mikrotik to: 1. Upgrade the over-voltage protection to 30v or higher on 24 volt products. 2. Never EVER make another routerboard that runs has over-voltage protection at 28v 3. Change the over-voltage behavior to cause the device to reboot when the voltage drops to acceptable levels, instead of requiring a power-cycle to bring it back to life. Will you join me on this and let Mikrotik, your distributor, etc. know your thoughts on this? This is not a new problem, it has been discussed repeatedly on the lists and forums.
