Hi,

please produce proper outdoor antennas. Those are ridiculos…wind kill them in one week…

Which ones? The only antenna in the is the LHG, which is not a new design. Has worked for many years in high winds across the globe

The anntenas with the NetMetal AX. Im looking for small omnidirectional and small directional anntenas.

Quoting the text: " If necessary, you can adapt the NetMetal ax for lower range use with such antennas as our HGO-antenna-OUT", that is not the normal use case. This is a long range outdoor product, you attach a dish to it. The small antennas are only for testing it or some special use case.

ok, but why you do not offer any small omnidirectional and small directional anntenas?

Antennas is not the main business of MikroTik. There are many 3rd party antennas on the market that work with our devices.

no, there are very few antenas on the market. I would by NetBox 5 AX if there was small 20cm omnidirectional anntena

Go check our distributor list, at least in Europe all major distributors carry many WiFi antennas: https://mikrotik.com/buy

That’s a pretty uninformed statement. What kind of antenna do you want?

(The following is just from one distributor.)

Really looking forward to some wifi6 CPE. SXT wifi6 etc.

It appears the mt.lv server hosting the newsletter is down at the moment…

Looks like it. I’m trying to get it and… timeout is all I get.

Yeah, managed to find it using this link: https://mikrotik.com/mt_redirect.php?code=news118

Where is 5Ghz AX client? For example DiscAX ? Still waiting…

LOL re official font, manrope … at least it’s description matches the product :wink:

This font is a crossover of different font types: it is semi-condensed, semi-rounded, semi-geometric, semi-din, semi-grotesque. It employs minimal stoke thickness variations and a semi-closed aperture.

It works! Thanks. :smiley:

I have a question about the NetMetal AX: Does it support WiFi seamless roaming? I read somewhere that it requires 1GB of RAM. Is it still necessary to have 1GB of RAM? I’m interested in roaming between CAP AX and NetMetal AX. Will it work?

When we could wait any new CCR? I’m waiting the model like CCR1036 / CCR1072 with hotswap PSUs and lot of S+ interfaces

  • wAP ac LTE kit (refresh)

Why? Where is wAP AX?


Btw. I think that description of NetMetal AX is misleading:

Two RP-SMA connectors allow adding an antenna of your choice

I understood this to mean: there is already an integrated antenna, but you can add an external one.
Of course, integrated antennae in a metal case would not do any good, but I think that description should clarify that you HAVE to add an antenna (or two)…
