Awesome new "Enterprise" feature Mikrotik

If this works well we can stop selling hundreds of AP's from other vendors each year.

They also talk about 802.11u and Hotspot 2.0 in there....

wow, fantastic. will definitely be checking this out when it becomes available

Had to stop a little bit of man wee then.

Wow, where did this come from? Anyone have any ideas when this will be available?

Sounds similar to
Fortinet wireless controller and ubiquiti unifi

This is great

Kevigizmo

Trust me, this is MUCH better than what the Ubiquiti Uni-Fi's do.

This is closer to what AeroHive, Ruckus, Fortinet and Motorola do.

Yep, pretty exciting stuff.

Hmm wonder when a release will be available [:-P]

This is great news!
I am waiting for this functionality.

Not yet anyway. It's not in v6rc12 that's for sure. Also, be careful to compare this against the likes of Ruckus! "Apples and Pears"

Not all of it is in rc12 but there are pieces.

It requires a special test package to use. We are not ready to make it public yet.

I would be more than happy to test

As would we! I was very disheartened to download 6.12 pre-release and find it not in there after my email from Sergejs

it will work on any licensed RouterOS, follow documentation for the new features.

Sergejs

I suppose I should of checked first before wooping round the office that its launched!

Sorry for letting the cat out of the bag.

When I discovered it, I was too excited not to!

If this could compare to meru controller, we have a new world in outdoor wifi hotspots. No config, just plugin a device, and it is working.

Haha, I still can't believe Mikrotik didn't mention this sooner (maybe saving this for Croatia MUM?). IMO this is huge for them.

Please add me to the list of beta testers .. we have some serious big wireless networks where we can test driver the wireless lan controller

Did the WLC functionality ever get pushed to a publish RouterOS version?

Great news!

It will be good if it will be integrated in the Dude.

I'm waiting too for this feature.

Wireless IPS to detect rogue access points across a fleet of APs like Sonicwall does would be a nice feature.

If this controller can make all the connected AP back to this controller using 1 channel for seamless feature will be perfect...

Is any progress in developing WLC functions? We starting new project with wi-fi roaming, and choosing what hardware we will use in this area. Can You tell me when we can test it?

Thank You for great devices!

Is there any news?

This is would be very nice to have ...

Whatever happened to this?

You wet our interest, then pile on less needed functionality like SMB! Give us some update please....

Anyone who manage hundreds of RB751's on a site (and has many sites) will know how many hundreds of hours the support / install staff put in to tasks (annually) that a WLC would takecare of (once off)

This is the real cost and far outweighs the savings gained by using MikroTik.

The WLC is not a nice feature to have it is now a total necessity.

Come on MT.. Lets start testing this.

I couldn't agree more... We're on the verge of deploying over 800 AP's in the next few months, too bad this won't be available in time for me to make those MikroTik driven AP's...

Would also like to know where this project stands. Would be a great feature addition.

I see this available for purchase as a license but does anyone know if its been released?

Can you post a link? ... I've only seen draft version of features on mikrotik wiki ...

Proberbly reffering to this "CONTROLLER (Level 6) $250.00"...

Can't beleive how excited I got about this, almost a year ago. Now, well we'll see if it ever happens

Proberbly reffering to this "CONTROLLER (Level 6) $250.00"...

Yeah, that's the one.

Thats not for the wireless controller, its just what they call the level 6 license

There's something going on : Link on this page goes to:

nice article, looks very promising. when can we start beta testing ??

This is really great! I am looking forward to install the packages. Where can be downloaded?

can't wait to test it !

I bet we won't see it until V7.

there's no changelog on v6.11, and they renamed the page right after the v6.10 release... who knows, miracles happen

I bet we won't see it until V7.

And I bet we will see it tomorrow. With v7 or without it.

Yep just announced, Beta in the next few days with full release planned in the coming weeks.

Unfortunately no 802.11ac AP's were announced to go along with it Maybe next time!

What will be the advancements compared to a Radius based control?
We're just testing RadiusManager for Hotspot control. Looks like a
very good solution ...

Not even expecting that. But it would be something!

I thought that was part of the point of a controller. E.g. like the Unifi system. Without it I still need to stick with Unifi to get roaming.

I guess that it's to early to expect seamless roaming at initial stage of wireless controller. But, basic roaming always works fine and usually it is only 2 pings lost before connection is back to normal on another AP. I am happy with it and it is all I need from MikroTik and now it will be much easier with controller. You probabely don't need seamless roaming until you use mobile VOIP over WLAN.

Any plans about integration with Dude ?

is there anybody who can introduce controller(hotspot2.0) which compatible with router os and RB411?

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any plans about integration with Dude ?

just add in the dude package in routerboard will do.

I think he is asking for more than that.

Currently I can't say anything about CAPsMAN and Dude integration, I have no specific information in this area.

Hellow Everyone,

can someone please tell me if this product is the same as the mikrotik wifi hotspot controller? If yes then please give me the link to it as i have looked around and can't find it. If not, then can you please advise me which mikrotik product would be the best wifi hotspot controller with, autheticaion, application and bandwidth control.

Thanks,
Abbas
