Glance RB800 Wireless Router

the emergence of new product variants echoed by Mikrotik RouterBOARD continue during 2009. Which begins with the famous RB750 with Best Value Router and Router Tiny then followed with RB750G already using Gigabit Ethernet. Both are variants RouterBOARD 700 series are almost the same as 400 Series ie use the same processor architecture Atheros but different type, which is intended for low-end router class. In the same year also released a Mikrotik Routerboard High-end class that RouterBOARD 800 series codenamed RB800.

RB800

RouterBOARD 800 series looks like a continuation of the RB600 which does have the dimensions and specifications are almost the same, but if viewed in more detail the specification RB800 RB600 almost doubled and more complete with some additional expansion slots for hardware-latest hardware that previously did not exist in RB600 .

Processor

RB800 which uses MPC8544 network processor (Freescale PowerPC-based processor) has a speed of up to 800MHz and 1GHz can dicustom (999Mhz) is currently the most powerful processor for the category Wireless Router. With heatsink and processor HeatFan the case of the overhead guard is one of the innovations that Mikrotik Router Performance can be maximized. Function "Health System" (Temperature and Voltage) is also added in the RouterOS software to allow a user to monitor the Wireless Router.

Expansion Slot

With the availability of high Resource RB800 ready to carry out all the functions available in RouterOS, flexibility becomes a crucial point in a router device then the RB800 already prepared several options for an expansion slot is a function of RouterBOARD. Like its predecessor Doughterboard Slot RouterBOARD series that always accompanies High End, on the RB800 Doughterboard slot available two versions of the standard PCI slots Doughterboard support for Doughterboard series predecessor (RB564, RB502, RB604 and RB816) and also Doughterboard PCIe type.
Slot MiniPCIe also been provided to supplement the RB800 with the latest hardware.

Performace

The high specifications on the RB800 is not only on paper brochure, but also need to be proven, we have done tests using Core2Duo machine and RB44GV. The results were very satisfactory with traffic of 250 ~ 300 Mbps full duplex, with the traffic load can remain operational oprtimal RB800 and temperature remained normal.

By doing Customisasi RB800 processor clock can be bypassed traffic predicted greater than 300Mbps.
