Hi,

I was looking for a while for a dual-band solution and enclosure and, finally, here is the result.

  • MikroTik RB922UAGS-5HPacD
  • MikroTik R11e-2HnD
  • RF elements StationBox InSpot
  • RF elements Antenna Omni-Directional Dual-Band 2.4GHz/2dBi 5GHz/3dBi OARDSBX-DUAL25

Enjoy.

Better than cAP 2n
951G-2HnD too slow for 1Gbps connection?

Cool, thank you for showing! :smiley:

Please, post more photos.

Nice one

We have a whole bunch of those StationBoxes at a client with RB951’s inside and they work a treat.

Thanks for sharing

This mmcx antennas are ideal for inspot (no pigtails)

Very nice.

I think you need some power, to make it work. :slight_smile:

It is new standard - powered via fiber cable :smiley:

sure.. PoF :laughing:

Hello…
Im looking to build a similar solution.
But i would like to know if these antennas work in a 2 story house.
Im planning to install the enclosure on the ceiling of my first floor.
Reading the specs for these antennas from RF Elements seem to indicate that are dipole vertical polarized.
Im no RF expert but that would seem to indicate that the antenna being parallel to the ground would be beaming towards the ground and ceiling not horizontally parallel to the floor, in order words the antennas would have to be installed vertically sticking out the plastic cover.
Maybe these antennas are tuned differently…can someone explain?
Anyone with this setup can offer any data on how well they work and coverage?
Thanks

Sorry for necroposting , but I use the StationBox setup quite a lot with either RB 951’s or RB912 and they work very well and cover a decent amount of ground.I also don’t understand how RF Elements can specify that the antennas are vertically polarized to be honest as they are running parallel to the floor.

First, you must understand what they mean polarization.
It is the electromagnetic wave polarization that has no connection with how the antenna is placed.

wtf ?!

Please, give up taking these strange red pills.

16

Antenna orientation means that it is compared to earth horizon so it definitely is “connected with how the antenna is placed” .

congrats

nice setup, i am figuring how to obtain all the pieces on my country

whats your opinion of an alternative using basebox 2 + R11e-5HacD some similar to this??

http://solimedia.net/mikrotik-wireless-solutions/205-basebox-pro-5-24.html

can be cheaper to assemble? taking in count base box comes with power supply, poe injector and a case.

But basebox need different antennas and 2 pigtails.

19

that’s a great setup but i fear one thing…

how will you tackle the following error : " Unicast Key Exchange Timeout "

mind you i have many Mikrotik AP’s running and am still trying to figure out that issue.

FYI: RouterBOARD RB/912UAG-2HPnD and Mini-PCI-Express R11e-5HacD doesn’t work together in a satisfying way. There are regular kernel failures, hangs and reboots…
