Hi,
is there any info regarding an implementation of WIFI 6 or 802.1ax from Microtik?
With the rising numbers of other vendors releasing Wifi 6 hardware to the market i am wondering if there is timeline from Microtik.
Kind Greetings
I sure hope so! MIkroTIk WIFI6 would be amazing!
MikroTik might release an access point with an 802.11ax capable chipset, but MikroTik currently doesn´t have software feature that make it 802.11ax or even WiFi6, i.e. there´s no support for
- OFDMA
- UL MU-MIMO
- DL MU-MIMO
100% right, Mikrotik WiFi 5 Driver Never lefts Beta Stadium, so please don’t cry for WiFi 6, buy something elsewhere if you want to use it now
I don’t see what a home user can buy instead of Mikrotik.
The RB4011 successor should have ax.
well, with the recent (imho great) hardware releases for switching, I hope the WIFI hardware will be updated as well.
When or where is new MikroTik Hardware introduced?
Any specific season in the year or MUM?
I think the newsletter has new hardware releases every month that were previously announced at some MUM.
It can take quite a while between announcement and release.
Before I buy any new mikrotik radio I would like to see:
1)Stable ROS for 802.11AC wave 1 (randomly reboot if firewall & WMM use pure 802.11 ofc).
2)Mu-mimo for mikrotik 802.11AC wave 2 ARM devices 3 years & still can’t use this hardware full potential.
3)Maybe real TDMA protocol like cambium or not… its impossible for mikrotik. Just fix old hardware nothing more than basic functions.
Now use Cambium 802.11ac vave2 mu-mimo basestations & use cambium software for old 802.11N mikrotik devices. Trust me old mikrotik stuff work much much better with cambium software.
It’s mainly about software. And the software we all have outdated (from Mikrotik)
V7 - no changes yet.
We are waiting for the spectral scan from 2014, and others …
Still waiting… 
No. With wireless it is about HW, too. Actual HW done for WISPs shows speed and features we need in 2020. It takes a big/long invest to build this. So I guess MT has done a good business decision and concentrate on CCR, CRS, …
2Jarek,
Which cambium with which Mikrotik?
Cambium Epmp 3000/3000L + Mikrotik: SXTLite, LHG, DISC (802.11N only)
We use this too, terrifying how bad ROS is
Here is the Cambium 802.11ax roadmap.

How about something like this from mikrotik!
2Jarek,
So what Cambium software, and will it run on the current Mikrotik LHG products?
Definitely, and at least 2 sfp+ or 2x 10gbe
Im sure the isp’s that deliver 10gbit to the house are going to be interested.
I’m using [redacted] and their hand off is an sfp+ which i plugged in to a crs305…
MT is able to create very good products for a small ISP.
MT is not talking about the priorities of technological solutions, but everything you need to work in a micro network is already there.
Don’t ask MT for more than being their segment. For a well-designed micro network, MT solutions are the most rational. If you need a bigger network and more requirements, look for another segment, because MT lives as they want, not as the market wants (management is based on micro solutions and internal culture).
Therefore, with MT and their solutions, everything is fine today and it will be tomorrow.
My ISP does not use Mikrotik. I have to buy it myself.
On that note, I just ordered a ccr2004 for home…
