Please note that these are not the precise values. Depending on hardware used and many other
factors they may vary up to +/- 15 microseconds.
You can also use dynamic ack-timeout value - the router will determine ack-timeout setting
automatically by sending periodically packets with a different ack-timeout. Ack-timeout values by
which ACK frame was received are saved and used later to determine the real ack-timeout.
The Nstreme protocol may be operated in three modes:
• Point-to-Point mode - controlled point-to-point mode with one radio on each side
• Dual radio Point-to-Point mode (Nstreme2) - the protocol will use two radios on both sides
simultaneously (one for transmitting data and one for receiving), allowing superfast
point-to-point connection
• Point-to-Multipoint - controlled point-to-multipoint mode with client polling (like
AP-controlled TokenRing)
Hardware Notes
The MikroTik RouterOS supports as many Atheros chipset based cards as many free adapter slots
are on your system. One license is valid for all cards on your system. Note that maximal number of
PCMCIA sockets is 8.
Some chipsets are not stable with Atheros cards and cause radio to stop working. MikroTik
RouterBoard 200, RouterBoard 500 series, and systems based on Intel i815 and i845 chipsets are
tested and work stable with Atheros cards. There might be many other chipsets that are working
stable, but it has been reported that some older chipsets, and some systems based on AMD Duron
CPU are not stable.
Only AR5212 and newer Atheros MAC chips are stable with RouterBOARD200 connected via
RouterBOARD14
four-port
MiniPCI-to-PCI
adapter.
This
note
applies
only
to
the
RouterBOARD200 platform with Atheros-based cards.
