Wishlist:

For BASE AP:
NETMETAL with MU-MIMO and DC IN
RB922UAGS-5HPacD with MU-MIMO and maybe 3-4 chain version.

For CPE:
SXTac with MU-MIMO support
QRT5ac with MU-MIMO support (licence level 3 cheap version)

For PTP:
DynaDish 5 with SFP and DC IN connector :smiley: (direct fiber to PTP solution)

Other:
FTC converter with DC in jack - POE out version. (to add fiber to QRT/SXT - all POE in powered device)

Router:
release the CCR1072 :smiley:

Switch:
16 port SFP / 2 port SFP+ 1U RACK 19" - ROS, with CPU minimum 600MHz (for small routing )

MikroTik please answer:
It is possible to something like these we will see in these year?

ā€œAPā€ meaning for me 10x gigabit ports with at least 1 PoE out, besides in

ā€œEnterprise AP appearanceā€ meaning for me desktop unit with internal power supply

Basic cpu power at least equal to RB3011

Hardware encryption mandatory

Translation: improve the RB3011

Since this topic is starting to get replies, my thoughts on the topic

Wireless for Home and Office:

  • Dual Radio 802.11ac AP with ā€œEnterpriseā€ AP appearance
  • MU-MIMO wave2 AC would be very much appreciated
  • More then Triple chain would also be beneficial (min 2x2 for 2.4Ghz, 3x3 preferred) (min 3x3 for 5Ghz AC, 4x4 preferred if wave2 device)
  • 1x Gigabit with Passive POE and 802.3af/at in
  • To make it extra nice, an Extra Gigabit port with POE out to daisy chain another AP
  • $150 price point

I see a real need for these. Currently we deploy Ubiquiti Unifi for these cases, but they certainly arenā€™t perfect and the noise issue is a real problem. The hAP AC is a good step towards this, just less port and a different form factor so that attaching it to a wall or ceiling doesnā€™t look totally odd. :wink:

An AP does not need 10 Gigabit portsā€¦ 1x Gigabit is enough


- Minimum 8 port CRS with POE out on all ports (12 ports would be nice)

  • Selectable 12v/24v/48v Passive POE out and 802.3af/at POE per port (250w / 300w total?)
  • 9nth (13nth) SFP+ 10Gbit ports for DAC cables or SFP+ module
  • 2x SFP+ Would be awesome if it doesnā€™t come at a too big of a price premium
  • CPU does not need to be very powerful
  • Enough power to do VLAN (un)tagging and bridging at least at 2 Gigabit or more
  • Internal power supply would be preferred. Dual for a premium model?
  • Rackmount and desktop mount
  • Basically a CRS226 with POE out on at least 8 ports :wink:
  • $375 price point

I see a need for these kind of ā€œedgeā€ switch in wireless deploys (both tower and home/office). I donā€™t like using passive POE for everything and would like a solution to which I could could hook up my Access-Points and if needed some cameraā€™s or phones. If you connect 5x or 6x AC access-points you want something bigger then 1Gbit as the uplink

I donā€™t know if the other poster really meant AP or wireless router instead.

I donā€™t need an AP. I need a 10-port wireless router with simultaneous bands.

2 different wishes.

8

PowerBOX with GB POE OUT.

in MikroTik world, an AP = wireless router

10

This equation is not valid. There are wireless routers equipped with L3 so they are definitely not APs.

11

I did not say that. I said that an AP is a router.

12

Equation is commutative by its definition. You probably wanted to use implication, donā€™t you?

13

You really love to nitpick

14

Sometimes yes. Sorry for that. But you can simply misinform someone by that.

15

We donā€™t have so many wireless devices that are L3, and those are clearly marketed as CPE only. We donā€™t have any AP devices that canā€™t function as routers

16

I know that very well. Therefore I pointed at the difference of equation and implication.

17

It might technically be a router, but if it has only 1 network port, for me itā€™s just an AP (even if the port could also be used to hook up a client).

I guess people who only use WiFi clients have no problem in thinking of them as routers.

18

Gigabit switch with at least 8port POE out. DC input

19

Since this is a wishlist thread, true 10Gb switching. 8 to 12 sfp+ switch

20

I would like to see some CRS Modells with 8,12 or even 16 10G SFP+ ports in 19" case for rack mounting.
They do not need heavy routing features, they would be useful as a top of rack switch.
