You had the right concern, AP without external antenna like RB751 does not has WiFi signal as good as devices (TL-WR1043ND) with 3 external antenna.

What is the USB for? Can I plug in a 3g usb modem in it? Can it function as a 3g wireless router also? What's the different between MikroTik RB751U-2HnD and RB751G-2HnD?

The USB port allows you to connect 3G/4G LTE USB Modem and USB Thumbdrive or External HDD, so you can connect to 3G/4G and sharing your files!

The RB751G-2HnD is an upgraded version of RB751U-2HnD, it has doubled RAM, new CPU and all five gigabit ports, you can read more details at its official website, http://routerboard.com/RB751G-2HnD.

OIC...I'm planning to setup a wifi hotspot...A lot of vendors here use the RB750GL model? Do you have any idea why? Does the 751 model have the same function as 750 model for wifi hotspot? Since the USB can connect a 3g modem, can it also connect to streamyx/unifi at the same time and do load balancing?

Is it include the following?

RB750GL is just like RB751G-2HnD, but without wireless access, it's fine to use it if you are connecting another AP to it, however if you want to keep everything in one box for lower cost, RB751 should be your choice.

Yes, you can load balancing between 3G/4G and Streamyx/UnFi.

Sweet! Is the package still include external antenna with mmcx to sma adapter?

No, the package does not include any external antenna or antenna adapter.

Do you sell the mmcx to sma adapter?

Yes, we have a MMCX to RP-SMA adapter, please check the details in the PM.

Bro,
Appreciate if you could PM me the guide into configuring this to replace the Thomson router that comes with Maxis Fibre...i am planning to get the gigabit version from you.
With this, would the phone still work?

Hi Bro,

A guide has been sent to you!

Cloud Computer

hey man, I am interested in getting a replacement router for my maxis fibre. which should I get and will I still have the voip service?

Both models are suitable for you! The RB751G-2HnD is an upgraded version of RB751U-2HnD, it has doubled RAM, new CPU and all five gigabit ports, you can read more details at its official website, http://routerboard.com/RB751G-2HnD.

Yes you can keep the VOIP as long as you don't remove your Thomson router, MikroTik will act as Internet gateway and the Thomson router is VOIP gateway.

ok pm me your details and the price of RB751U-2HnD + postage

Please check your PM!

Good router!! Dont have to restart my unifi modem anymore...hehe

Really happy to know that your enjoy it!

RouterOS v6.0rc8 is available now! You can download it from http://www.mikrotik.com/download

What’s new in 6.0rc8 (2013-Feb-04 13:25):
*) ppp,pppoe,pptp,l2tp,sstp – only 2 change mss mangle rules are created for all ppp interfaces;
*) wireless – fixed AES encryption speed issues (upgrade suggested);
*) dhcpv6 server – handle info requests;
*) webfig – compressed all html resource files, speeds up opening of webfig page;
*) console – reduced width of address column in ‘/user print’;
*) simple queues requires target arg to be specified when adding;
*) do not count packets for unknown protocols as rx_dropped;
*) snmp – provide POE info;
*) improved cpu usage reporting on CCR boards;
*) improved interface reading performance;
*) changed CLI interface order – first are ethernets, second wireless, third everything else.
Within group interfaces are ordered by name;
*) interfaces are deleted much faster, could be bottleneck on systems with many ppp sessions;
*) pptp,l2tp,6to4 tunnel encapsulation/decapsulation now resets packet marks to
have consistent behavior across tunnels;
*) fix simple queue interface matching when doing encapsulation in some tunnel,
could result in double accounted packets;
*) ip/ipv6 firewall has all-ether,all-wireless,all-vlan,all-ppp interface matchers
*) queue limits could be inaccurate for large limits (100M or more);

CAVEAT:

*) bgp peer tcp-md5-key is not supported on CCR (to be fixed in next release);

hey man, mine wont work
in the log it says

maxis : initializing
maxis : dialing
maxis : terminating... -disconnected
maxis : disconnected

and it keeps repeating

are you sure it can be used with maxis?

---Update---

Got it to work

You should create another instruction for the other maxis modem huawei 8240.

The Vlan is 11 instead of 621

Hi Bro/Sis,

Really appreciate for your feedback and update , our existing customers should be getting the TM modem, so they don't have this problem.

Anyway, the router is definitely working, we just need the VLAN ID, the rest are the same.

Thank you!
