Hi , I got some photos from a friend & seen a fake model of SXTsq. (I Know that Lithuania model is fake).
All other accessories in the box is same as original !!
Please see this below photos and answer below questions too :

  • Note 1 : They marked with flags that China model is Fake :open_mouth: , I comment it with red texts.

1. Is Mikrotik made anything in Lithuania ? or any SXTsq made in there ?
2. Is this Devices work properly with ROS ?
3. How mikrotik will do with them or w that devices ?
4. Why someone can make a device so close look Original Mikrotik as this easy & sell it too ?

None of these are fake. Why do you think any are fake? Any reason?

Yes, MikroTik has many factories now. In many countries.

They provide this compare photos to say that china model is fake .
so Why the Lithuania model just have a mikrotik adhesive label on back of it and Don’t have a hard logo on plastic case ?
because of no one make a brand-less case (Specially a brand like Mikrotik), I say it again Lithuania model is must fake.

NO! This is normal, just another revision (newer model). There is no fake

Who told you it’s fake?

Then please explain, why on the official Mikrotik page they have picture this product without a logo on case backside?

We do not post all revision pictures on the website. Small details change all the time, there are numerous such changes during a product lifetime.

Glad someone else caught that.
Anyway, that’s the least of his problems.

Hopefully, the OP is a 12 year old flat earther, then it would make sense :open_mouth: .

But if you see one of UBNT fake devices then you can believe me. on that time Ubiquiti deny that too at first.
As of @normis posts , I hope so that’s right.

If you order a OEM product from a Chinese company , they have a limit that can’t product a item with an existing brand logo on their case or box.
for example you can’t order a product with Made-in-Germany on product case in China.
So they say you can order in brand-less without country origin in product or it’s box, then label your brand or country origin by yourself. (same as Lithuania model).

Ok, I can understand why you suspect that some devices are fake and are worried about their status, it has happened to other companies as well, but I do not understand why you persist in thinking they are fake after Normis explained that they are not.

Not having the logo stamped into the case may be a strategical move e.g. when they now have a reseller that wants to sell the devices under their own brand, and they want to be able to change the brand by just applying a different sticker.
That alone does not make the device a fake.

Also, it is quite common that products are made in different countries, and that this changes over time.
