Una excelente noticia para todos los WISP, el nuevo firmware v5.5 de la serie «M» Airmax trae muchas sorpresas y cambios muy solicitados. Entre ellas el poder agregar infinitos MAC address en un ACL y poder comentarlos o desactivarlos como lo hacemos con RouterOS. Tambien tenemos la actualizacion del kernel a una version superior.
Ademas también tenemos ahora la posiblidad de usar Airmax Client en todos los productos 802.11 a/b/g.
