The cAP AC and hAP AC2 top out right around 300 at point blank range. But the R510 will actually hit the 866M you should get from a 2x2 AC-MU radio. True, but this is coming at four times the price of a cAP AC/Unifi AC Lite making the comparison unrealistic. Like said by someone else, it is all abo...

Quite happy with the performance of the capAC inside the home but range in 5Ghz is markedly and expectedly less than 2.4ghz.

That's pretty typical of 5GHZ. It is faster, but doesn't go through much, or very far.

How many AP's do you plan to install? aside from a singular AP performance, it's probably more relevant to assess the controller function and features along with the radio performance. The controller function and features along with the client compatibility unfortunately go hard against mtk enterpr...

At this moment bad, we tested 3 Intel Based AC Laptops and both are only able to connect to 54 MBit..... Kind of seems "par" for Mikrotik with wireless devices.

Put OpenWRT on the wAP AC and with the newer Kernel and drivers you will get about 450MBit Is this something you can prove in a video or something? A post like that would blow up around here I should think. Might get some grease to the squeaky wheels. Like Cambium putting new OS's on Ubnt and Mikro...

I don't have experience with UBNT AP because the requirement of deploying UniFi controller on top of the APs doesn't fit with my purposes (home only as my business locations are Cisco centric). Nothing wrong with UniFi and I know it could be possible to do a "set and forget" setup but I like to kee...

Set up caps-man on the router. Set the config to use local forwarding. Have the local radios set up as caps, by setting the interfaces in wireless. Then Press and hold the reset button on the other unit as you power it up until is ends up in caps mode. Then you should see 4 radios list on the router...

It would be great if there was a CAP with 4x4 AC-V2. But maybe some day... How is the wireless performance on the 4011 as JUST a wireless access point? The CEO is pushing hard to bring in Meraki. I would love to have a $250 Mikrotik kick the Crap out of the $1600 Wireless Access Point. The routing b...

CZFan, This is a hardware issue that I can cure by switching to any one of several other wireless access points we have. I had emailed support about it when i found it repeatable.

The Ruckus seem even more expensive.. I'm not sure if this isn't way overkill for my home (concrete house).

Dario.

When you configure a hAP AC2, cAP AC, and Rucks R510 exactly the same and swap them into the same spot one after the next... You would get it.

The cAP AC and hAP AC2 top out right around 300 at point blank range. But the R510 will actually hit the 866M you should get from a 2x2 AC-MU radio.

Mikrotik for routing. Ubnt for PtP links. Ruckus for Wireless Access Points. In wireless.. I can do a ton of stuff with Mikrotik wireless that I can't with Ubnt. But in straight throughput... The Ubnt is going to beat the Mikrotik and Ruckus is going to clobber both of them by a considerable margin....

Which RouterOS version are you using ? Cloud implementation has been updated recently, make sure you have a new version.

We have lots of routers out there with 6.40.8 BugFix. Is that release effected but this?

What versions of routerOS should be working with IP cloud?

Its been in there for years. Go into your access control list under wireless. You can generate/set per Mac address passwords.

Normis. How about you get someone to actually look into my support tickets. As for not using quickset.

No solution and no interest in replying from support.

Routing is not enabled by default on a CAP AC. The default out of the box set up is as a WAP. So connect it to your router... and used it as a wireless access point.

gotsprings

Sumitted another ticket. They merged it with the last one then proceeded to ignore me again.

gotsprings

The support for wireless is non existent.

I have submitted multiple tickets and rarely get any response from Mikrotik.

I include logs and support files and still nothing.

Mikrotik can route... But I don't know what is up with the wireless.

Saw another with the same sort of issue. Replaced it rather than waste time.

When the 1st unit comes back to me... I will take a closer look. Field tech is going to swap for one I have at the office.

gotsprings

CRS125. 6.38
Router was hard reset from the button.
Router was defaulted with no config.
Firmware was placed in the files folder.
Wouldn't install it.

Replaced with another CRS125 RouterOS updated just fine.

Getting a 750GL with a similar problem dropped off at the office so i can check it out.

Downloaded the latest firmware and placed it in the files menu.

I have 2 rules at the top of the filter chain to dump ALL TRAFFIC from IPs that hit any port I deem "interesting" in mangle prerouting.
The mangle rule adds them to an address list for 24 hours.
Then the drop rule drops that address list at the top of the firewall chain.
