I can get 748megabits over a 60-second iperf3 UDP test, with some intervals being as high as 948megabits. This is with an older MacBook Pro and the WAP ac being on the other side of 1 wall, total distance of ~15’.
Ubiquiti recently came out with their 4x4 Wave2 AP with MU-MIMO. Hopefully we see something from Mikrotik in response!
the Mikrotik cAP AC just passed FCC compliance and has an 802.11ac Wave2 capable chipset.
So it looks like we will have Wave2 #soon ![]()
But Support for QCA9984 etc is missing at moment
You are right. First wave2 chipset from Mikrotik

Will be nice to see this in the hap ac lite and hap ac. There is also a gap for a model between those.
I have seen model numbers floating around that line up with what you are saying, so with any luck we will have new home AP’s from Mikrotik early next year.
TBH a lot of products are due a SOC upgrade, CRS1xx, RB2011, hAP AC Lite, hAP AC, cAP, wAP AC..
I agree, Mikrotik need to focus on the antennas to improve RX performance on their AP’s. When we test wAP AC vs Cambium e400, the Cambium has much better RF performance due to the better antenna design.
As long as they all come with SFP’s ![]()

i think there is no new Wireless Device offense from Mikrotik,
We are looking to Another Systems / Vendors for the Future!

We unfortunately are also being forced into changing to another vendor, its very frustrating to read that other vendors using similar chipsets with a simpler OS have vastly superior performance.
Yeah disappointing
I sayed It some years ago Mikrotik change focus from WISP Wireless to Home Wireless and Enterprise Routing
Can someone explain the financial logic of moving away from customers (WISP’s) who volume purchase?
As you guys probably know, MikroTik does not comment on unannounced products. You will have to wait and see what we have to show in one of the upcoming MikroTik user meetings, most likely the big European MUM in spring. As to which features have to prioritised - that is a thing where everyone has their own opinion, I guess.
I hope any new products that come out from Mikrotik will address new markets such as faster,larger more capability, and hopefully hit a home run with core high-end NOC equipment and address fiber-to-the-home markets with CPEs that have a complete package (fiber, wireless, VoIP & battery backup).
What ever Mikrotik comes out with, I’m sure it will be what many admins have been asking about and talking about in these forums. I always look forward to seeing what’s new.

Oh look 160Mhz channel support ![]()
*) wireless - new driver with initial support for 160 and 80+80 MHz channel width;
Then i will try my Wave 2 pcie Modules again in the M11G
Hope for Qualcomm 9888 support…
Well, FCC shows a lot of information. No need to comment on it
That cAP ac is “cute” ![]()
no luck,
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9888 “Besra” Series is still not supportet

Well, I switched to MikroTik wifi access points (WAP AC, HAP AC) because of its features in CAPSMAN. And I´m looking forward to those cAP AC devices when they are ready to ship some time in (hopefully) Q1/2018.
Looking at the pictures of the “cAP AC”, it has an PoE In and PoE Out port. I am asking myself whether it is possible to run an “cAP AC” behind another “cAP AC”…
When will the driver come for wave2 ?
