Still no news about 802.11ay / Terragraph devices?
Click the link in the video. Cube 60ay with backup 5ghz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqgfEs_4G6s
OK but where is the AP to connect up to 15 of those Cubes to?
I think they talk something about sectors but I don’t understand Spanish.
Current Mikrotik Terragraph situation, explained:
Still no CCR2016

Home app - goes thorugh nothing to do with WAN setup.
What if its PPPoE? Does this just purely rely on a DHCP WAN?
Wifi 6 when?
For any kind of funky setups, surely you need the normal MikroTik app, where a lot more options are available. This is for home users with no configuration needs.
Nice one regarding Wave2 features getting pushed into ROS V7.
Any thoughts of doing a bigger fiber mux ? 8 Ports get used up quickly especially in my experience even at smaller sites.
The Mon Port deletion does kinda suck but in my experience I’ve only used it in maybe 2 installs out of a hundred or so.
Mostly everybody here is waiting on pins and needles for faster routers though. 10 Gbits is pretty vanilla these days and we need hardware and software platform that can route at 40/100 Gbit rates.
That should then read “home users in some countries where there are no configuration needs”.
At least here a home internet connection is usually using PPPoE and almost always there is also a VLAN tag to be inserted.
That is not too uncommon I think.
Most equipment manufacturers solve this by having “profiles” that you select when you run the setup wizard. They ask you your country and ISP name and then it knows how to set it all up without bothering the user with questions like “do you want to use DHCP or PPPoE” or “what is the VLAN for your internet connection”.
Of course it will require some effort to compile a list of profiles for all the markets where you want this to work.
I assume and hope this is first building block for future Wifi AP “home” products to come (with wifi 6). Today home users in the sense of this new app, are retail customers buying an AP only to have better Wifi at home. Disabling their Wifi on their box and drop in the Wifi AP, nothing else. But this means AP must have Wifi 6, band steering etc.
The only Mikrotik product competing in that space is in my sense Audience but is expensive. In retail (amazon etc.) you can get now Wifi 6 APs for $60.
(you can not do 1/10th of what you can do with Mikrotik on networking side, but if its all about Wifi at home, their solutions are enough/better than Mikrotik Wifi).
The prosumers and pro users who want to tinker with VLAN , PPPOE, firewalls ets and replace the modem/GW,
are not the target of this app. They will use Winbox or Web interface.
So for me right now its a miss match between the app target market and the products Mikrotik is offering, but hope this will change quickly with new products released… right Mikrotik?
Thanks for the shout out to my blog in the Newsletter MikroTik 
The only product-space that Mikrotik excell is in Prosumer, small ISP and small/medium Enterprise. And no one there uses some fancy phone app to setup their network.
The “app target market” will probably choose Google, D-Link, Asus, TP-Link or some generic Chinese white-label box with the most performance/$.
And the ISP is really asking the end-user to do this? If there are any VLANs and such, normally the ISP technician configures / provides the router and does not give access to the end user. This video is not for that situation.
Overhere the providers supply a router/modem however Mikrotik is not supplied nor 'supported’by any of them. By law we have free choice of router/modem but you have to do the setup on your own, with general information provided by yhe ISP.
The owner of a Mikrotik will have to setup the vlan for the internet and a separate vlan for IPTV.
No, instead they provide a router that has a first-start wizard which works as I described above: it asks you which country you live in and which ISP you have, and then it configures the internet side of the router accordingly. The APP could do the same thing.
Of course installation service is available, but it normally is optional. And, as msatter already wrote, it is not mandatory to buy the provider-supplied router but one can buy and install another one instead. Sometimes these have similar profiles. And the technical parameters are required to be made available by the ISP.
I am starting to wonder if Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6e is even on the road map.
Over a year ago , the FCC opened up the 6 GHz band (5.925–7.125 GHz) and made it available for unlicensed use.
More than a year later and total lack of any official Mikrotik information, I can only assume there are zero plans for Mikrotik to update/create any products to operate in these new clear-clean-empty frequencies.
Many of you know that I am a total Mikrotik fan , but this lack of information and lack of product is wearing thin and is going to force me to look at other non-Mikrotik products to find a solution for → 6 GHz band (5.925–7.125 GHz)
It looks that first WiFi 5 will to be implemented on more Mikrotik products. Now it is only in development and on limited hardware: “Implementation of 802.11ac WiFi5 Wave 2 in RouterOS v7 BETA (MU-MIMO) for Audience, hAP ac3 (non-LTE!) and RouterBOARD 4011 devices (more information in the documentation)”
I prefer a longer wait, for a good implementation of WiFi 6. Now you see, implementations of it with other brands that are not yet mature.
