There are multiple powering options for RB5009. You can use 24V up to 57V on 2 of them at the same time (but only 1 will be in use).
Your point is … ?
“but only 1 will be in use” - this is the point.
Sorry and what is the issue?
For home use, this is usually not a problem (but the RB5009UPr+S+IN is 3x more expensive than the L009UiGS-RM / RB2011).
For work use, I would like a device combining e.g. CRS112-8P-4S-IN or netPower 16P with routing power RB450Gx4, RB5009…
Because CRS112-8P-4S-IN or netPower 16P can serve both 24V and 48V (57V) devices at the same time.
Hi guyes for home use, what would be a better choice?
A L009 and CAP AX
Or
HAP AX with CAP AX
Today I’m running a HAP AC2 with two CAP AC but I’m thinking of just trying out to simplify my setup and using just one CAP AX.
I have 23 wifi devices connected currently (alot of home iot devices running) Currently with the setup I have my HAP AC is running at no load at all:
Or should I just get the CAP ax and keep the HAP AC2 and not setup capsman?
My guess is that ax isn’t going to make much difference for IoT devices.
For your use case and two choices you gave (although you don’t specify which hap ax you are talking about, there are 3 (lite, 2, and 3).
If choosing between hap ax2 and L009 I would choose hap ax2.
I posted this about tradeoffs between hap ax2 and L009.
Personally I’d wait to upgrade your hAPac + 2 x cAPac setup… You’d be reducing the number of APs, which reduce your coverage area. e.g. AX doesn’t cover more ground, only potentially high speed – but you won’t see higher speed if your further from an AP than before… The L009 make your upgrade even worse here since the L009 only does 2.4Ghz, while the hAPax2 does both 2.4 and 5Ghz AX… in the L0009+cAPax, you’d only have 1 source for 5Ghz coverage.
Thanks, not sure what to wait for thou…
But yes i was thinking hap ax2. The 2,4ghz limit would not be an issue since it would be installed in the basement where all the internet stuff is. The caps are installed in both ends of the house on the ground floor and that is enough to cover ground floor and 2nd floor.
Let’s see if mikrotik will release a smaller cap ax (lite?)
hap ax2 has 2.4+5ghz. hAp ax lite only has 2.4.
