MikroTik News February 2018 (Issue #80)

See this post: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/wi-fi-speed-issues-on-hap-ac-lite/102816/1

Im seeing same max speed issues (on hapAC, wAP ac) , with EXTENSIVE testings (and side-by-side comparisons, in varied environments, to other mfg 3x3 5g ac products ).

I do find it very interesting that the new AC capable APs announced today (feb 18 newsletter) are v2 of the product line, yet are 2x2 chain (when v1 of the product line was 3x3 chains). Yet the v1 products act almost exactly as if 1 of the 3 chains is not working (or is malfunctioning) (at 2.4 and more so at 5g ac).

Dont get me wrong please, Im fully aware of (and use) the power of RouterOS (its un-matched at any price point), but there is a real issue with 3 chain 5g AC on these products.

On a different note, on the newly announced CRS112-8P-4S-IN (new 8 port POE SW !), can you use 24v AND 48v POE at the same time (ie like on the ubnt edgeswitch line)?, ie on the CRS112-8P-4S-IN , can you attach BOTH 24v and 48v PSU inputs and then have some ports @ 24v passive, and some eth ports @ poe at/af ? (on many installs ive had to put 2x 960PGS (hexPOE) rb’s next to each other due to needing more than 4x POE ports, or needing 24v on some eth ports (ie other MTs) , and poe on other eths (ie IPcams).

thanks!
