802.11ac Wave2 Support?

Nothing changed

they are working now on the new Audience (RBD25G-5HPacQD2HPnD) will be ready in couple weeks,
but not sure if Wave2 will be supported, so its only for home usage, far from competitors
and an easy capsman setup tool it’s also missing, but will come for sure in x years

Most of the features are implemented, but MU-MIMO is WIP


Any validity of the statement?

Thank you for the update. What features have been implemented for now? May I ask when you plan to release those new drivers within new beta RouterOS versions? Will we be able to test those drivers with a new (optional) wireless driver package as in the past?

which featues are missing now? we already released the driver update in last betas.
160MHz works, like Reinis said, only MU-MIMO is not implemented as the only remaining Wave2 feature.

MU-MIMO :sunglasses:

160MHz does not work in the US, presumably because Mikrotik did not complete the necessary testing required.

Great, so that´s the driver update, I assume?

=>

Yes, “stability” means a lot of improvements under the hood, including 160MHz in supported regions.
Yes, like I said, MU-MIMO is the only missing thing right now. Wave2, to my knowledge, doesn’t have any other things RouterOS doesn’t support already.

When can we use mu-mimo?

Does wAP ac support VHT160?

Sorry, but we are still in the process of certifying for US (U-NII-2), that’s why you cannot choose any frequencies with the 160MHz configuration when country is set to united-states-3.


No

In RouterOS? Never … or in year 2030…
Mikrotik don’t listening us, dont listening clients…

Same can say about Beamforming, Mesh, new hotspot, 802.11k/v/r

CAPsMAN and HotSpot is outdatet, so we forced change Mikrotik and choose EdgeCore solutions for WiFi. More stable, more features.

Mikrotik… what happend with you?

Will MU-MIMO be supported in V7 only or in V6, aswell?

Hello Reinis, what is the current status of your MU-MIMO implementation?

normis or Reinis,

Do you have a list of AC devices that will receive the MU-MIMO functionality when the driver is updated to support it? Will all MikroTik AC devices support it? Or certain ones?

I’m ok with it not currently supporting it, but will in the future. Back when 802.11g came out, if you had a lot of B devices connecting to it, it would degrade the performance of the entire network. I’d assume this will be a continually trend with new WiFi features. The point is client devices are the weak link. And client devices supporting the enhanced features don’t get mass adoption till later on in the specifications lifespan. Unless you can control what devices are connecting to the APs, I feel it’s not going to show it’s full usefulness till MU-MIMO becomes a standard feature of even the cheapest of client devices.

I prefer using MikroTik APs over other brands. I’d choose a MikroTik over another brand that currently supports MU-MIMO, if I knew MU-MIMO would eventually come to the MikroTik device.

And spectral scan? Is a dream?

Mikrotik - What is the current status of your MU-MIMO implementation?
Also, when will it be “certified” as Wave 2? All recent tenders are requiring Wave 2 products, and this is holding us back from pitching Mikrotik.

it is being developed at the same time as the spectral scan

Maybe
