Old WISP Dish/Router

[nad_isa]

Hi All

I have an old WISP Dish and what i understand to be the router that goes with it. Been standing for about 2years or so and had it for about 18months before that. Are these things worth anything second hand. i havent the slightest clue? I used to have a WISP service with sprintnet wireless - dont think they exist anymore.

I will see if i can post pics later

Take a chance on Gumtree, unfortunately they have limited use outside of accessing a WISP.

Most probably Mikrotik if you're lucky.

SO the routerboard is a netmetal 5, new they about 3000. i would expect the market for these things to be very small. so will try my luck on gumtree/carbonite. will see if i still got the POE injector to test. are these things passive POE in?

Yea Carbonite it, looks like it has seen better days. Did you say it still works?

It did before I disconnected my service few year back. Must still test it and see if I can access it

Mikrotiks are quite robust. You most probably have to reset it if you don't know the password. You need a POE power supply for those I believe.

This device can be used to setup a point-to-point wireless link or bridge. Quite useful if you have another device for the other end. The two devices don't even have to be from the same manufacturer.
