Mikrotik Wireless Controller

Ta da http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Wireless_Controller

Awesome new “Enterprise” feature Mikrotik :slight_smile:

If this works well we can stop selling hundreds of AP’s from other vendors each year.

They also talk about 802.11u and Hotspot 2.0 in there…

wow, fantastic. will definitely be checking this out when it becomes available :smiley:

Had to stop a little bit of man wee then.

Wow, where did this come from? Anyone have any ideas when this will be available?

Sounds similar to
Fortinet wireless controller and ubiquiti unifi

This is great :wink:

Trust me, this is MUCH better than what the Ubiquiti Uni-Fi’s do.

This is closer to what AeroHive, Ruckus, Fortinet and Motorola do.

Yep, pretty exciting stuff.

Hmm wonder when a release will be available [:-P]

This is great news!
I am waiting for this functionality.

Not yet anyway. It’s not in v6rc12 that’s for sure. Also, be careful to compare this against the likes of Ruckus! “Apples and Pears”

Not all of it is in rc12 but there are pieces.

It requires a special test package to use. We are not ready to make it public yet.

I would be more than happy to test :smiley:

As would we! I was very disheartened to download 6.12 pre-release and find it not in there after my email from Sergejs

it will work on any licensed RouterOS, follow documentation for the new features.

Sergejs

I suppose I should of checked first before wooping round the office that its launched!

Sorry for letting the cat out of the bag.

When I discovered it, I was too excited not to!

! :smiley:

If this could compare to meru controller, we have a new world in outdoor wifi hotspots. No config, just plugin a device, and it is working.

Haha, I still can’t believe Mikrotik didn’t mention this sooner (maybe saving this for Croatia MUM?). IMO this is huge for them.

Please add me to the list of beta testers .. we have some serious big wireless networks where we can test driver the wireless lan controller :slight_smile:

Did the WLC functionality ever get pushed to a publish RouterOS version?

Great news!

It will be good if it will be integrated in the Dude.
