RB953GS-5HnT For home use

nikkon · Sat May 02, 2015 6:13 pm

Hi all,

I planned to buy this board and add a r11e-2hpnd for 2.4.
Is this too much for home use?

Depends on the bandwidth of your WAN connection. This thing does 400-480Mbps (100% CPU load) with a basic set of stateful firewall rules and without any policy-based routing.

For my case, it's grossly underpowered and I've since replaced it with a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC.

Bandwidth is 1000 mbs. I use this only as Ap.

So another router takes care of the 1Gbps line?

The 953 Looks somehow overkill for this situation, why did you choose it? any specific reason? do you need/want concurrent Dual Band? any other requirements?

If you just need a 2.4Ghz AP, I am very fond of the RB951G-2HnD, a superb router/AP for home use with very sensitive radio with internal antennas, no pigtails.

I would wait for the new HAp ruter. Better, smaller and cheaper.

Yep I have Pfsense in front for the gbit line.
In the end I got the 922 version. This is meant to be Wi-Fi ap only

If you need only AP. You can use rb912 or rb922 with stationbox inspot

Ok, so you want dual concurrent band... great board and as honzam pointed out stationbox in spot with pigtail-less antennas would be a great solution.

AP already in configured. Seems verry stable

thumbs up for posting the final pics!

how much cost you that setup including all (antennas, sfp module, aditional 2.4g radio, pigtails, power supply poe injector) ???

nikkon · Sun May 17, 2015 10:20 pm

~200$

quick qustion: is there a way i can program my AP to start and shutdown on a defined hour? for example durring the night i would like to have it off.

Yes, just a little scheduler script, for example, "/interface wireless enable wlan1" at certain hour, and "/interface wireless disable wlan1" at another one. Just use an interval value.

Schutdown not, but you can disabled wireless in specific hours.

actually that;s the reason.
1300 mW + 1000mW it's high...and during the night it can be shutdown.

You can shut down the router but for starting it up you need to cycle the power. Go by switching wlan on and off easily by scheduler. Or leave it running...

nikkon · Wed May 20, 2015 4:35 pm

i will try the script, still not sure where i can set the hour interval.

System > Scheduler
