I have RB500 series with v2.9.51 it works like an charm.

I know got an RB600A i use there pppoe setup that are available on it when the client connect with the pppoe then the connection freez after like 2-5 min any body have some kind of answer? it does it on v3.3 and v4.4.

What firmware are you running?

/system routerboard print

You should be running 2.20 on the RB600.

routerboard: yes
model: "600A"
serial-number: "i removed it for safety"
current-firmware: "2.20"
upgrade-firmware: "2.20"

How old is the RB600?

How many bad blocks are there in /sysetm resource print ?

I had something similar recently with RB600A's and ended up having to get them swopped out until we got one without bad blocks - that now works just fine.

This is my thread on MikroTik's forums about the problem.

Sounds to me like your board is also problematic.

o ja running on 12v and solar panels coz have no power on the mountain but i don't have any power problems.

 

[portcullis]

One bad block on the RB600 shouldn't be a problem. MikroTik says we only need to be concerned when there are more than 100 bad blocks on a router.

But I don't believe in coincidence, so I'm still recommending you get your supplier in on this and have them exchange the board until you get one that works.

Who's the distributor?

Digital dynamics in the eastern cape they only opens on the 11 of jan again might put back the old one till then perhaps. thanks for your help...

In that case...it could be power related.

I use RB433AHs in my solar powered high sites, but the RB600 should work just fine on 12V. That's what I use on the bench when I configure them.

wel i going to bump up the power to 24v i have the power there to do it and see what happens... will give feedback...

 

[wetkit]

Have you had a look at the volt drop between the supply point and the RB?
We have had loads of problems with RB600's in the past
Using RB433's now. Using much less power and way less problems.

No did not have time to test yet but will bump up to 24v if that does not work then i am going to put back the RB532

 

[KillerB]

some feedback well it can be the nanostation software gona upgrade to v3.5 and test again.

It can be the microtick software if the nano fails then i going to downgrade to v3.10 and test again....

To the best of my knowledge the RB600 is the only MikroTik router that we can kit out with four big radios (R5H, XR05, F50Pro) and four smaller radios (R52H, R52, etc). I have two sites buzzing along on 24V each with an RB600 and 8 radios.

If MikroTik launched a daughterboard for the RB433 that would allow us to add more radios, I'm sure you and I would be fighting with each other at Scoop's or Miro's door to be the first in there to get one

Right now I've got a nightmare on my hands up on Helderberg. I've got four RB433AH's doing the same work that I'm doing with one RB600A in Paarden Eiland. The routing gets very complicated and the complications double each time I add another RB433 - like I have to do on Thursday.

 

[KillerB]

well i bump the power to 24v still have the same result don't know if you can downgrade the RB600A to 3.10.

Take it back. You have a problematic RB600A.

 

[KillerB]

well they only open on the 11jan again then i will go and speak to the owner where i got it and ask him for some advice to.

Portcullis what is the maximum people you run on one secter and radio card?
