No new 5G devices…

Best wishes, @normis and MikroTik team!

I talked to Santa → Normis’s cat has been very very good and will be getting lots of presents, Normis, however, has been naughty and might get a lump of coal, unless Santa said, he provides cloudflare zero trust tunnel as an options package.

All the best to the Latvian crew over the holidays.

I watched the video and thought it was a CRS (without WiFi). Then I looked at the newsletter and saw it was a CSS.

So maybe 2025 like the forecast suggests.

Happy holidays.

Bravi!

Happy holidays everyone!

Happy Christmas

:christmas_tree: :wrapped_gift:

Return of the 912 device and who is it for? for a couple of individuals? And where do we have SXT SQ AX ,DISC AX, LHG AX ??? What should we do to people? bastlit boards with pigtails? in the 21st century really? one big disaster that you have been publishing lately. 95% of people can’t set Mikrotik router os LTE, so I don’t know who you’re talking about. You have stopped producing a lot of antennas in AC and there is no replacement for them, I would like to see the person who does your marketing

Another newsletter… still nothing for LTE/5G that works outside EU, no Audience AX, no mixed voltage PoE switches, no devices with LCD & nothing more in the RB5009/L009 form factor. Disappointing year in hardware offerings IMO.

CSS318-16G-2S+IN… SwOS and no 48VDC input :frowning:

Theres not point trying to compete with bottom-of-the-barrel stuff from AliExpress.

Its almost 2025 and Mikrotik still put 1GBPS port on their AP… What a shame. Nothing interesting here to make me to purchase.

Not disapointing from all vendors.. UBNT makes really good products for very fair prices..

still curious about the in September 2024 announced Ampere co-operation. Looking forward to very high performance and full table (4M routes) capable hardware

The Unifi range doesn’t even fully support SNMP :upside_down_face:
No overlay network support for most devices. Slow VPN…

No clue about UISP hardware.

Happy Christmas and I am looking forward for hAP be^2 next year with 2.5 GigEth interface and switch. :slight_smile:

It needs at least one 5NBASE-T and 3450 Mbps FastTrack because of WiFi 7 320 MHz 2x2.

A second 5NBASE-T would be better but then you really want 5 Gbps FastTrack. This would avoid having to buy a second router with at least two 5NBASE-T and 5 Gbps FastTrack for the next DOCSIS 3.1 WAN upgrade (for PCs). The second router would need three 5NBASE-T if you have a PC but want to avoid having to add a 5G/10G switch.

Still waiting for a CRS310-8P+2S+IN to replace our CRS112’s. CRS106 and CRS112 are the only switches still using an ancient Atheros switch chip without support for bridge VLAN filtering, hardware QoS or L3 HW offloading. The 802.11ax outdoor offerings are also lagging behind significantly, Ubiquiti is launching WiFi 7-based Wave MLO in 5 and 6GHz Q1’25, while MikroTik still doesn’t have any 802.11ax outdoor CPEs (let alone anything using 6GHz). I thought development would be “much easier” with the new wifiwave2 drivers and products would be launched “much faster”? That’s a quote from January 9th, 2024, almost exactly one year ago.

to be fair ubiquiti doesnt have any outdoor 6ghz devices atm either.

Wanna know why?
Cause (according to Wikipedia) for Europe it seems there’s no outdoor channels available.

For the USA, i saw that there’s only 3 320MHz channels for outdoor with a max of 36 dBm transmit power and with AFC (to be fair i have no idea how that differs from DFS)

Edit: I checked the EU Ubiquit website

Edit: With Ubi I checked their EU website

The FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro is the only AVM product with 320 MHz. But it does not have a 10G port matching 4x4.

It could even use a 25G port if it had a powerful enough CPU.

I have seen at least one ISP offering consumer 25G since 3 years ago,

One can get a 2x 25G card for 135 euro.

A Mikrotik 1m SFP28 cable costs $29 (compatibility?).
