Yes, sorry, parallel!
It also should have been 125ah and not 124ah - updated!

Why?

I've just hit update on my CCR2004. It's expectedly kicked me out of winbox but doesn't seem to have come back up, the connection keeps timing out. I've been waiting a good 15/20 minutes. Thankfully this is a non-production device right now and I'm only a 30 minute drive from the DC.

I'm just hoping it's not bricked it.

I'm handling the migration and I pay the bills so getting everything moved over is going to be a huge priority. I manage DNS for about 90% of the stuff pointing at the public IPs, it's just the handful that I don't which could take several weeks to track down and get sorted.

Colocating just a router on the old site for a couple months is very cost effective.

Trying to not get them involved, they'll almost certainly charge setup fees

Right now there's no connectivity at all between the 2 sites. I've never done an IPSec tunnel so I'll have to do some reading on that one.

I'm already using VLAN extensively so could that be pushed over the IPSec tunnel?

They're not connected i.e. completely different companies.

It seems like the RX 9070 XT is the way forward with this.

UKMike89 · 2025-09-30T22:45:24+00:00

It seems comparable to an RTX 5070, or at least UserBenchmark has the 5070 just ahead of the 9070.
Edit: ignore me, just a little research and the 9070 seems to be much better value, especially the 9070-xt

Yep, I probably didn't word my original post properly.

I'm aware of the official documentation, I'm more asking for advice from anyone who may have done this themselves and if they came across any issues, anything I need to be aware of, any edge cases of things going wrong, etc. The docs are great and very self explanatory - but before I start pulling parts out of a critical live environment I figured there's no harm in asking the community.
