Hi all, This is inspired by a post on AusNOG, which some of you may have seen. Draytek have a PCI-E card VDSL modem. I have limited knowledge of the hardware/driver level of Mikrotik routers, but does anyone here know if one of these might go in a Mikrotik product that has a PCI-E slot, eg the ones designed for 3G? Some background here: https://fbdragon.co.uk/static/2016/09/19/draytek-vigornic-132/ Might be an alternative to waiting on the SFP-based VDSL modems :) Regards, Philip Loenneker | Network Engineer | TasmaNet
The VigorNIC is a standard sized PCI-E card, it won't fit in the mini-pcie port on Mikrotik hardware. You could put it in an x86 box though (Supermicro, Jetway and Axiomtek have a few nice options but not cheap). If I understand correctly, the card will present itself to the OS as an Ethernet card once it's configured up.

Could one of these Riser Card solution assist? Assuming the Draytek card can be made to work, then this would solve the mini-PCIE to PCIE problem, would it not? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PCIe-x1-x4-x8-x16-to-Dual-PCI-slots-adapter-... <https://www.aliexpress.com/item/PCIe-x1-x4-x8-x16-to-Dual-PCI-slots-adapter-pci-express-to-2-pci-card/32793541299.html> regards Mark Voevodin

Nope, that's a dual PCI to PCIe adapter. You'd need something that can do PCIe to miniPCIe and put it in a router with a miniPCIe port (not miniPCI). But even then you'd have a very hard time finding a box for it. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Mark Voevodin Sent: Monday, 26 June 2017 9:51 To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] VDSL modem in Mikrotik - PCI-E option?

For some reason my Monday-morning brain didn't notice that "mini" was missing from the product name... thanks for pointing that out guys :) For those still interested, I found that you can get them from A03 for $139. http://www.ao3.com.au/product.asp?ManufPartNo=VIGORNIC+132F -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Russell Hurren Sent: Monday, 26 June 2017 12:12 PM To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] VDSL modem in Mikrotik - PCI-E option?
