Have MikroTik ever had a discussion about the format of rackmounts. So to be able to mount TWO instead of only ONE RBx00x device in 1 rack-unit**?**
Would love to have the option of mounting 2 RBx00x devices in 1U instead of having to use 2U.
See this example from Juniper SRX100:
Very cool Normis.
RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN will deffo make it to my home when it comes over here.Will be interesting to see how the switching will get done though.
Defintely picking up some CWDM gear from you guys.I’ve got tons of cruddy 4 and 12 core single mode links that have been exhausted due to expansions.
Some questions
1)Do you have any plans in the future you might be doing a EX or LUX version of the 4011 with USB+LCD ? I’ve got a slew of aging 1st gen 2011’s I need to replace , though I don’t really want to commit to anything as of yet.Currently use USB’s on them to write out config to a usb stick for recovery and the LCD as a no-tool display for bandwidth being passed through the interfaces.
2)Any chance you might do DWDM in the future ?
Hello The RB4011 is an excellent product. RouterOS When 802.11ac will start to use all of the wave 2 features.
Like Mu-MiMo?
That would be nice but unfortunately RBx00x devices are just too big to be mounted side by side in a 19" rack
RB2011iL Dimensions
Desktop:230x90x25mm
Rackmount:443x92x44mm
Does the new RB4011 also has Hardware Acceleration for AES (OpenVPN protocol)? I am testing a file transfer using OVPN between 2 RB2011 and the transfer literally sucks (Less than 1 Mbps of throughput) when we have 25 Mbps total BW between the 2 endpoints. I understand that the new RB4011 has IPSec HW acceleration but I want to run OpenVPN tunnels instead of IPSec ones.
Pls advise.
The RouterOS implementation of OpenVPN will always have shitty throughput since it lacks UDP support.

RB4011 looks like a beast of a device though!
Is it possible to do a license upgrade on the SXTsq Lite60 and connect two of them for a short link?
They look physically a bit more suitable for outdoor mast mounting than the wAP 60G AP.
That’s always possible without an upgrade of the license. Just set the ‘master’ or AP in ‘bridge’ mode instead of AP-bridge. You only need an upgrade to make a client unit work as AP. Not the other way around…
As I understand, RouterOS only supports in-kernel HW crypto acceleration, which means it works for IPsec phase2 only. OpenVPN is currently out of luck no matter what board you have.
I know that usually works on devices with license level 3 but this SXTsq Lite60 is explicitly listed as being only a CPE that is able to connect to wAP 60G AP (level 4 license).
It does not say that it can do a point-to-point with wAP 60G (level 3) or with another SXTsq Lite60.
There are rack cases that fit two RB2011 boards (bare boards without cases) inside.

Hey all,
Excited to see the 4011 series!
Question about the switch chip: Does it natively support VLAN switching? In the specification, it says switching chip is RTL8367SB. In the wiki I only find information about RTL8367, which has no VLAN features (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features). Does this mean no VLAN support by the switching chip? Or is SB different to the non-SB version?
Regards, P.
I was wondering this same thing, can these new SXTsq Lite60 be used in Bridge to Bridge mode? (ie SXTsq Lite60 to SXTsq Lite60 ). My guess is NO , as MT would have stated this in the documentation or sales info. Normally Level 3 ros can do wifi br to br, but as we have all seen the new 60ghz mt stuff does have alot of special, non-standard ros options / settings (which is why im thinking these cant be used in a br to br like a normal 5g or 2g MT devices). I hope im wrong though, anyone from MT chime in?
(also what would the range look like on SXTsq Lite60 to SXTsq Lite60 if you can use them as a ptp bridge? i would think a tiny bit more than the 200m stated for MP to P)

The exponential growth of MikroTik is always suprising me. You are all doing an excellent job there and I am very excited to see these products launch. I wonder what else is in the works…
Huge thanks to you all at MikroTik!
You must be kidding, no?
Mikrotik is a very slow grower. They have been bypassed by its biggest competitor 10 times....
They might have a slow increase in absolute sales, I'll bet their market share in the WISP industry today is much smaller then it was 10 years ago.
When I started with internet by Wifi early this century apart from the un-affordable Cisco, Motorola and some other high end brands offering slow Wifi or Wimax there was Airbridges and Mikrotik that at least made the Wifi a breakthrough system for WISPS
Only a couple of years late came Ubiquity with their Nanostations. In the beginning absolute crap devices but cheap...
Now Ubiquity sort of dominates the low and medium segment of the market with several other brands trying to pick from the same market. On the high end we have several players and even here we can now find Ubiquity and others and an occasional Mikrotik router.
Mikrotik lost many opportunities to become market leader in the WISP world. They had too many times serious problems with new ROS versions. They were too late with really good antennas, they came with tdma months after their biggest competitor these days and in the beginning it was almost a disaster.
New products sometimes take more then a year after first presentation to finally hit the market.
I'll know for a fact that in the years 2012-2017 many switched away from Mikrotik to go to other Wifi platforms because there was hardly any improvements from MT and problems kept emerging in ROS. Many new players came in the market too with good products that outdo Mikrotik stuff.
It's only the last 2 years it seems they are on the way back up in the wireless. The 60Ghz line is very good, better then what is already in the market. And it seems ROS is getting better and better too although there are still fields where they could do better.
Don't mistake me. I am a loyal fan of Mikrotik from the early days. It still appeals to me and is both economic, reliable and good. But due all the problems I did have to try new line of products from other vendors in fields where Mikrotik just can't deliver.
So they still get my support and I am still buying 90% of my stuff with them. But to praise them into heaven is just a bit too much.. 
There are lots of other markets other then WISP…
Am I correct in assuming the RB4011iGS+RM is a fanless model? That would be awesome! 
Yes, both models are fanless, and have a very big heatsink (half of the body itself is the heatsink). A thing to note, is that the tested ambient temperature level is up to +70C on the Ethernet only model, and +45C on the WiFi model.
