I dont understand why hAP AC will have only 160 mW output power? Why reduce the output power from 1000 mw to 160? Also CPU is only 650 Mhz, that is too poor for this time we live..

Normis, why you dont make hAP AC with 1000 mW Wireless power like 951Ui, 951G and RB2011UiAS??

No new information annonced yesterday at Turkish MUM about hAP ac/lite, thats mean the products will not be available until november/december Q4 (in best case).
The RB3011 it seems is ready, maybe will be released at MUM Indonesia in 2 days.
But hAP ac, cAP dual band, NV3 when?????

that wil be good for some implementations but increasing the cost

keep in mind some vendors has dual band ac equipment around 200US, i think mikrotik its aiming for 100US for full hap AC version and that is difficult

maybe dual core cpu and ac radio will increase power consumption too much to allow a 24v passive poe to work reliably

No, GPON is supported already, any RouterBOARD device with an SFP port can plug and use, regardless of RouterOS version

Re: HAP AC

Tue Dec 01, 2015 3:19 am

i think wlan-wifi market is not a priority to mikrotik

why i think that??



mikrotik have many AC devices for PtP and PtMP scenarios, even launching unannounced products like sxt lite ac

launching "new" wlan-wifi devices performing worst than the old rb951Ui

here we are, waiting for the first dual band AC wlan-wifi ap from mikrotik 2 years after the first generation of ubiquiti

meanwhile ubiquiti is already shipping their second generation 2

:?

i think the only recent success of mikrotik on wlan-wifi arena is the hAP lite, and is because their price not because was innovative

i like very much mikrotik devices, with rb951Ui i have very successful implementations but the problem is people very often requesting 802.11AC or at least dualband.

im not very happy of installing 100+ dualband ap of other vendors across 2015 when all i want to install is mikrotik

Combining a RB922UAGS-5HPacD with a R11e-2HPnD will work just fine if you're looking for a Mikrotik solution. You get enough RAM to run just about anything you want, a decent CPU, SPF port and a set of nice powerful radio's.

you are rigth

unfortunately available local legal resellers dont sell that parts in my country, for enterprise customers in my country is not an option to buy hardware online because legal, tax and guarantee issues, and in my country buy from international resellers plus the time taken in my country to get international orders across customs can be as 30 calendar days.

Unfortunately not for 802.11ac solution, since if you place R11e-5HacT inside mPCIe slot provided you have 5Ghz a/n + 5Ghz ac.

Ough, I got the model number wrong, but it's still just 2x2 802.11ac - hAP AC is 3x3 so, something we want.
I wish MikroTik will catchup and release 4st. AP with MU-MIMO. Qualcomm have at least two suitable solutions: QAC2300 and QCA9990.

im not sure if hAP AC is 2x2:2 or 3x3:3 on 5ghz radio

i thing som AC functionalities (mu-mimo, 160 channels, beamforming) will be not massively deployed at least not in 2016, think about it a lot of recent AC client devices are 1x1:1, that maybe push a motivation for mu-mimo off course if clietn devices support it

i think the big deal of AC is to massively migrate to 5ghz spectrum on 40mhz and/or 80mhz channels

hAP ac is 3x3. Speaking about beamforming some APs supports that already (e.g. Apple Airport Extreme). MU-MIMO is something I wait for mostly ;)

Eagerly waiting for 802.11ac(5Ghz) home access point from mikrotik. Would be nice addition to the RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN already doing the grunt of 500/500Mbit home network routing.

Complete package based on RB911G-5HPacD would be a good start :)

If the product only needs paperwork approved and it does not change the technical specifications of it, then maybe you could release the info on web so the itch to buy something else would go away :)

No, 802.11ac will be a lot better, even with a single antenna. With 40 MHz of bandwidth you can get a theoretical data rate of 200 Mbps, versus 150 Mbps for 802.11n; but 802.11ac can also use 80 MHz for a 433 Mbps data rate. In some cases/countries you can even go up to 160 MHz.

AC Wireless with 1/100 mbps LAN ports.. LOL :lol:
As cdr.pl say. Maybe hAP ac lite will be sold this year

http://www.cdr.pl/download/hAP_ac_lite.pdf

Why routerboard always provide 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports? too outdated.

And what's specifications for hAP AC ??
The "non-lite" HAP ac will have gigabit ports, an SFP port and 3-chain 802.11ac. In other words: that is the one we're all waiting for :)

I already got a few hAP ac lite (952Ui-5ac2nD).

I guess we will have also hAP ac really soon.

late yanuary 2016 suggested "earliest possible" by some ressellers, but thats just a guess, so i presume thats february, march will be more realistic time for HAP AC.

Mikrotik say in PDF so hAP AC is 2,4Ghz - dual chain and 5Ghz - Triple Chain
http://gregsowell.com/wp-content/upload ... eumum3.png

In this review say - RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT
It mean 2,4Ghz-triple chain, 5 Ghz-triple chain.

would be cool.
but i doubt that device - will benefit from 2x or 3x setup much, cuz its imply Much more powerful SoC to enjoy it by router :/
but maybe i wrong. and i hope i was :)

i dont think so

recommended reading

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless ... prime-time
Tri-band and MU-MIMO don't improve range
Neither "tri-band" / Smart Connect nor MU-MIMO contain technology designed to extend range. Both are primarily designed to improve total bandwidth use.
MU-MIMO routers requires MU-MIMO devices and only improve throughput for 5 GHz downlink (router to device) and strong signals. You need at least two MU devices to see any benefit and you get the optimum throughput gain with 3 MU devices.
"Tri-band" (actually tri-radio) routers work with all devices and work up and downlink. They use two 5 GHz radios so slower devices can be directed to one radio, faster devices to the other. "Smart Connect" technology is supposed to automatically direct devices to the proper radio. But many devices don't like being told what to do and stubbornly stay on a radio, slowing down faster devices.

MU-MIMO is available from 2nd generation of 802.11ac I think, while hAP AC will be for sure 1st gen.

but the 720MHz 1core CPU isn't slow for this router?
is the processor the weakness of this product?
regarding the Indonesian article the CPU usage at 100Mbit was 40%, but we expect 600-700Mbit-1Gbit routing, can serve such traffic?

Do you really need 1gbps routing in small soho router/dual band ap you can buy for $100?
In Poland we used to say "Takie rzeczy tylko w Erze" it means: "it's impossible but every one wants it".

Does this router has HW NAT?
My ISP is RCS RDS from Romania and my internet speed is 1Gbps over PPoE.
Does it goes WAN to LAN 1Gbps.I had other expensive routers but they only go up to 200-250Mbps becuase of lack of Hardware Acceleration.

@ronniee: hAP ac is aimed at SOHO market. I think it will route fully loded radios, but without fancy queues or few dozen firewall rules.
Don't forget about FastTrack/FastPath ;)

I personally see two use-cases - SOHO router in place of crappy TP-Link/D-Link/other or ordinary WAP controlled by more beefy router.

There is no ros running device with hw nat support. But there is better thing in all devices with ros: fasttrack.

Normis, do you happen to have any details - I mean anything? Are we looking at Q1, Q2? Do you guys not have a clue yet due to regulatory issues?

Ive been holding off but am starting to roll out other 5g APs / routers for customers in condo units as their 2.4 is just too crowded!

It would be to good for 79usd.
The RB951G(no SFP, single wireless card) price is 79,95usd, of cource this price can be dropped or upgraded the 3 years old hardware.

More realistic price for hAP ac is 89 or 99usd.
If there are some frequency regulation problems for US, why can't be released the International(EU) version earlier?

Maybe(I hope) in the same time Mikrotik are working on a dual band version of cAP with 3 chain ac & 3chain b/g/n with gigabit port/ports version also.

good idea, many projects dont need:

sfp port
4 additional ethernet
1 poe output
1 usb port

Hi normis, when time finish paperwork? Jan or Feb ? We have waited for too long.

i think mikrotik have ceased to announce, comment or tease new devices or launches until they are ready to release them

now they are simply announcing releasing products when the product is ready to ship

Well that's fine for unannounced products, but the HAP AC was announced MONTHS ago. It's a bit late now to start saying they don't provide information on products.

Quite frankly, the whole situations starting to take the p*ss really. How many people here held off buying a router from a competitor based on the imminent "Q3 2015" HAP AC? It wouldn't be a problem if back in September, Mikrotik had said "you know what, we're having major issues getting this certified, it probably won't be ready unil 2016". Instead we've constantly been led to believe that release is just around the corner, and now (when they've probably run into further issues that they don't want to let on) we're being stonewalled. Stringing customers along like this is wrong, plain and simple!

I have a little problem with routerOS upgrade on RB952Ui-5ac2nD.

Router has 6.30.4 and I would like upgrade to 6.33.5.

There is only 16MB of flash and 12MB is used by system.
Anyone knows how to upgrade system when size of packages is about 7MB?

If packages are in RAM, upgrade doesn't work.

If packages are in RAM, upgrade doesn't work.

on the router you wish to upgrade:
make a backup
/system backup save ([-optional-]name=backupfile)
/export verbose file=BackupExport
save the files locally OFF of your routerboard! (IMPORTANT)

get netinstall
get your desired npk update package
flash your RB with the new firmware
re-apply your backup
verify desired functions

and that's it pretty much ;)

hope that helps

I would rather tend to deinstall packages not needed; this frees up lots of memory and storage.

16 MB is not sufficient for all packages. I can accept that on hap lite but not on hap ac lite...

I have a bad feeling that there is something wrong not with papers but the product itself, Mikrotik is not doing papers for the first time and there is no answer from them, so it looks to me like the product is having some major issues and they try to "cover" it with silence... It would be really cool from you guys to face it and comunicate with the community...

i think the version initial released to validation or has some mayor issue requiring to re-design

or maybe when redesigning, chipset vendor change the offer of chip-sets maybe with newer chipset forcing to start from zero.

well, only mikrotik knows what the hell happened with hAP AC, i hope situation solve at least on 2q of 2016, im tired of installing unifi

I'm pretty new to MikroTik having only had an RB951 unit for about 2 1/2 years now. And it may be the last MikroTik device I own even though the RB951 has been great.

This whole hAP AC shenanigans has really left me with a sour taste for MikroTik as a whole. Communication to the enthusiasts on this forum could be a lot better. I've repeatedly asked for product updates thinking that Normis might chime in with a little insight into what is causing the delay. Even though he has commented a couple times on what was delaying the RB3011. Coming up on a year since introduction, I'm wondering if I should just pull the trigger on something else.

Even something as simple as the following I think would calm most of us:

"working with chipset manufacturer on design again"
"troubleshooting manufacturing issues"
"ran into software bug"
"in final stretch of testing"
"aiming for newsletter XX in Q?"

Thanks for naming ports "1-2-3-4-5" on the case. I just can't get used to these "Internet-2-3-4-5" namings, especially remembering RouterOS multi-WAN capabilites.

By the way, it's a new top length of device "internal" name — RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT. %)

UPD:
"Storage type Flash

Thank you very much, MikroTik. *facepalm*

making that comparison is really cheap, because it has triple chain, dual concurrent radios, and better CPU, the only loss is the 5 port fast ethernet switch

i was expecting that price because competition triple chain, dual concurrent radio is at 150US

that leaves the hap ac lite at 50 us as a contender for cheap dual band market

2. Too high price for 720 Mhz processor, 128MB ram (similar as RB951Ui/G)
3. Mikrotik start to sucks with new models.. Really.

I am so glad that this has finally come out.... now just have to wait for shipping... and finding the bugs that need an immediate update post-release. And then I expect good things!

the image looks like there is a switch or something right behind the USB port - unless that is part of how the enclosure latches together? I'm curious about what that is.

the description says "high power transmitter" and the board name has a H for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz... I wonder if that means 1000mW or something less? the miniPCIe AC card is only 630mW output for comparison

Edit: and also have to wait for a US distributor to post it on their site

Little bit high price if it's real. This is the same price of RB2011 with wifi.
Not really - all prices in Poland have to be presented with tax, which is 23% for electronics. I expect price of $95-99.
Also @chechito brightly pointed that it lacks (simple and cheap) FEth 5p switch, but you're getting 802.11ac radio instead. While RB2011 is priced at $129 (but can be bought for ~$99) hAP ac is FAR BETTER choice.
1. Only 16MB Flash ? Seriously ??
...and exactly how you gonna utilize that memory in router targeted for endusers? If you need more storage for sure even 128MB will not be enough. While you can get decent usb stick smaller than a nail for $5 it's not worth the effort to install more flash onboard.
I personally use extra storage for web proxy only (and it require usb drive anyway due to write cycles limit and capacity). My logs are collected at remote server, and for sure hAP it's not gonna be a BGP peer.
Don't get me wrong, but I just don't see a massive use-case for more flash memory anyway.
2. Too high price for 720 Mhz processor, 128MB ram (similar as RB951Ui/G)
Point me to cheaper alternative please ;) The closest competitor will be Ubiquity 1st series, which on sale goes for more than $100 ... for bare AP!
Aerohive and Meraki are far more expensive, and we of course cannot compare RB w/ROS with something like D-Link / Asus / Tp-Link or any other SOHO crap with unusable software.
3. Mikrotik start to sucks with new models.. Really.
So change a platform, but please - share your alternative with us. Ubnt with it's EXTREMELY buggy and limited software is not an alternative for me. Aerohive is not really into routing and well... I'm not rich enough to buy Csco ;)

If there will be no "flash" folder as internal memory and root as RAM-disk, the device will be just unupdatable. Someone is using memory also for repartitioning.
Both cases can't be solved with external-USB, which some users calling an "amazing-possibility-to-buy-a-flash-drive-too-and-install".

Well, I always updated ROS devices on-the-fly using builtin button - maybe I'm just too lazy to download and upload files to many routers.


I spoke with US distributor about hAP ac. Since USA have a special version hAP will be virtually available within 3 weeks, however in reality it's gonna be available for pickup in 4 weeks. I don't have information about pricing.

That data sheet suggests only 225 MHz of spectrum is available in the US on hAP AC.
Does this mean it does not support DFS? Effectively that is one 160 MHz channel at best, yes?

Re: HAP AC

Since it's middle of the night in my timezone I didn't counted accurately, but it's gonna be something like 3 channels if you look at the table in Wikipedia.

It also bothers me why US version is permanently restricted without any chance to unlock it. ROS supports DFS - http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=23914. The same applies to hAP ac lite, but not to other 5Ghz products (e.g. RB911G-5HPacD). Even the newer product - RB921UAGS-5SHPacT-NM - is available in one version with such a wide range (4920-6100 MHz) without any restrictions :?

@normis: Could you give us a clue why recent MT products have limited channels support along with special version for US market?
It will be also wonderful to hear at least few words why there was such a massive delay? I know it's an internal information, but MT was always an open company working closely with community. I think it's far better to just say "ok, we made an horrible mistake in our power supply project and we needed to find a solution" rather than staying silent. We are all geeky people - not bunch of standard customers waiting for more megapixels in yet another smartphone with tiny plastic lens ;)

How you meen go into RAM ? As i know you need to place a npk file into internal storage and reboot the router to upgrade.

What about issue with upgrading to newer versions, where nand storage is limitation reported somewhere in forum ?

Also why RB951Ui/G-2hND have 128MB Nand, and hAP AC have only 16MB ? Why you back into 2011 year or later ? Looke like older models have better hardwate then new one.

Yes, NAND is not used in this process. Upload something with FTP and the file goes to RAM.

On boards that have limited NAND space all your operations happen in RAMDISK, if you need to store something in NAND itself you can access that in /flash directory.

Happy that it's finally here, but I'm a little disappointed to see a 3 year old SOC used, for an AC product it's really late to market. Hopefully now that MT have experience with developing consumer AC devices we can see more powerful products in the future on a faster release cycle as new SOCs are released.

God, people, this is an access point - an ACCESS POINT.

It doesn't need to run UserMan, the Dude, a web cache, a hotspot, do 500000 lines of firewall rules, layer2 nat on a soft bridge connecting 2000 vlans, and log the payload of every packet to flash, all while computing Pi to infinite precision.

I think everyone on here wants a freaking data center on a chip the size of a grain of sand, costs $4, and uses one milliwatt-hour of power per decade, but has over 400 billion hexaflops of processing power and wifi so strong they could cover an entire metropolitan area with just the one device, buried under two kilometers of solid lead.....

Mikrotik has you all spoiled.

I'm considering buying this unit, and if I do, it's going to be an access point and nothing more. Let the CPU handle the gigabit of bridging down to the atheros chip (ultra-hd streaming to tablets/ wireless clients), and let the chip handle wire-speed forwarding to locally-attached devices. The Internet will remain on my trusty ol' 2011

This is based on FCC regulations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-NII nothing Mikrotik can do about that one. You *can* make a device that uses more than just U-NII-1 and U-NII-3, but due to having different power limits at the middle frequencies it is likely more difficult. maybe this is why we saw such a delay in release, and reportedly no documentation filed with the FCC as of one post above.

God, people, this is an access point - an ACCESS POINT.
Access point doesn't need FIVE gigabit ports, 128MB of RAM, SFP ports and a PoE-Out in most cases.
cAP is an access point. mAP lite is an access point, and even SXT HG5 ac is a better AP.
If "hAP ac" have "AP" in the model name, it doesn't making it an AP and only (same for all "hAP" devices). It's a direct replacement for 951, if you haven't got it by yourself. I hope you won't call a 951 AP too, because... it have the same processor as your 2011, woah. (Spoiler: hAP ac will have even more powerful CPU)

Using it JUST as an AP is a waste of power.

Why so? I have the hAP ac at home as my access point. In our country, we get speeds 100-500Mbit at home, so even just for an AP you need power. I also have a few devices with no WiFi, so the extra ports help.

My idea is using hAP ac just as AP is overkill. I count it as a dual-band router. WAN coming to some port, other ones serving Ethernet devices, good WiFi part is helping many portable devices anyone in 2016 holds to get a fast Internet, and a powerful CPU is capable to serve routing and firewall filtering. It's better not to lay it all on a single device in complicated setups, yes... but it's a "home Access Point", huh.
And by Access Point is meant NAT too, in most home setups.

I agree, hAP ac will be a great AP for use in home, SOHO and small office branches !

Yes Nat... and how about the speed of that ??
Another router manufactures do this with hardware chip.
Is the cpu and memory fast enough.

In the spec page of another Microtik routers there are "Performance test results" at the end of spec page.
Let's hope if this router to be the new SOHO(Small office/Home Office) router.
Mikrotik make some test of preformance of nat over ethernet.
Not wifi because of unstable speed.
And publish that on the spec page.

Re: HAP AC

Fri Feb 05, 2016 7:18 pm

but it's a "home Access Point", huh.
And by Access Point is meant NAT too, in most home setups.
And it's got enough juice to run a basic home wireless router setup - lan bridge with dhcp, a basic "allow outbound, block inbound" firewall, and some dns proxy - it can handle all of that. Yes, it runs ROS, and yes, ROS has a gajillion cool features to it, but expecting an all-in-one box that is actually powerful enough to do EVERYTHING at the same time, and expecting it for SOHO prices isn't reasonable. It's an access point that has enough features available to it that you can do a couple of extra things with it to get everything 'just right' in a basic sense.

As Normis pointed out - cpu bridging at gigabit-class speeds from wireless to wired world is going to take some horsepower to accomplish, which is why the box has the specs it has. And as Normis also pointed out, there are 5 ethernet ports because there may be hard-wired devices that need to be added to the network at layer2 - which is exactly my situation - whole home DVR and Plex boxes are going to be my gigabit wired devices, and they're going to be in the room where I would place the hAP AC. The router's going to be in the HVAC closet with the cable modem. The hAP ac is perfect for what I want to do with it - extend my LAN to other parts of the house. I neither want nor need the first layer3 feature (other than the obvious management access). I need a switch+wifi box, and this is perfect... that's its direct purpose. All the other features are available because it's ROS, but I wouldn't consider this as an everything-in-one wonderbox beyond a basic level.

I know my 2011 isn't a speed demon, but honestly, I have only 50Mbps internet connection and if I actually try to use even that, the ISP bills for usage now, so I don't need blazing speeds on the router itself. If I were lucky enough to have Google fiber, or some other decent high-speed ISP, I'd go snag a 3011 or maybe a 850G to be my router/capsman device, but the hAP AC would still just be a layer2-only device.

Why so? I have the hAP ac at home as my access point. In our country, we get speeds 100-500Mbit at home, so even just for an AP you need power. I also have a few devices with no WiFi, so the extra ports help.
500 Mbps at home?? That's it, I'm moving to Riga, Latvia!! :D

We are starting to see speeds like that here in the US with Google Fiber and other players, but most of us have 50 Mbps or under.

it is good that finally was released hAP ac, the 700MHz cpu will not route 1Gbit, with fast track/path NAT
maybe the RB3011ac wireless version with dual core 1GHz CPU will be OK, but for 50USD more than hAP ac? isn’t to much?

Aerohive and Meraki are far more expensive, and we of course cannot compare RB w/ROS with something like D-Link / Asus / Tp-Link or any other SOHO crap with unusable software.
Why? I use TP-Link Archer C7 v2.0 https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr7500. I'm disappointed. I expected for hAP ac to be more powerful. It has the same specs as my year-old TP-Link, and TP-Link with OpenWrt works great.

The price is high, but it looks like that we do pay extra for RouterOS.

Yes hardware spec. is very similar (instead one more USB 2.0 porn in Archer), but difference is in RoS system. Currently i use Tp-Link with Gargoyle 1.9.X Beta Build, and works OK, but somethimes, have a glitches, wifi disapear, etc.. Also OpenWRT release one build per year, so if any bugs are occured OpenWRT team dont patch inmediatly. RoS have standard a new RoS build every month or less, where provide bugs fixes, and also promote new features.

Also RoS and OpenWRT like systems are very different, RoS is system made to be used in serious scenarios, like IT networking companies, providers, etc, and OpenWRT derivates, are intended to be used in SOHO Environment , and home users like you for ex. That is maid difference.

About price yes Archer is ~$100 and hAP AC will be $99 without VAT. So prices are very similar + you get great RoS system. :D

maybe a cAP version only with one ethernet can be a good idea, but then some people may request a version with 2 ethernet...

I got one, and I got a couple of Routerboards too. I can just argue that for SOHO OpenWrt is simply better, and extra RouterOS (like broken OpenVPN) features doesn't justify buying this device at this price.

yep, in Latvia at homes we get more than 100 mbit connections, so good quality gigabit router is needed. Now i`m on 951G-2HnD, but will be changing next week to hap AC.

I have many cable devices: media player, synology nas, PC, smart TV. For wifi: 3 phones, raspberry pi, 2 notebooks. With mikrotik i got 800-900 mbit/s from NAS to PC :)

Tested with gigabit TP-LINK and ASUS, no more then 400-500 mbit. And wifi is slower. 200 mbit/s with mikrotik for wifi @ 2.4 ghz is good enough :)

PS: 4 years on ROS, before was on openwrt,dd-wrt... stability is like heaven and earth. ROS is much better for SOHO.

In my opinion the HAP AC is a great device for campus installation. If it scales well, I could replace my current wifi devices for roughly 40000€. This would be a real bargain.

+ PoE
+ SFP
+ dual band
+ ~CAPWAP tunnel with central CAPSMAN manager

Yes it doesn´t have a 802.11ac wave 2 chipset. But someday there will be a "WAP AC2". Only time will tell.
Do we need a "CAP AC". Well, it depends. I can also buy a RF elements Stationbox and here it is.

I´m happy to have an HAP AC for now and if I can figure out how to get a dynamic VLAN assignment running with the CAPWAP tunnel forwarding, I start rolling it out for my first students. Keep up the good work MikroTik Team!

500mbps is fairly standard, but I doubt hAP AC can handle this speed beyond basic NAT. Try adding some firewall rules and packet tagging / queues for QoS and the CPU will quickly become a bottleneck. For reference my RB951G-2HnD maxes out at just under 200mbps.

(cf: the diagram available for http://routerboard.com/RB951G-2HnD for example)

This diagram can especially (but not only) be usefull to understand how the SFP is connected to the CPU.
Thanks !

The hAP ac is our most universal home or office wireless device. It is a dual band device with Gigabit ports that allow the full advantages of 802.11ac technology speed, while maintaining compatibility with legacy devices in 2GHz 802.11 b/g/n and 5GHz a/n modes.
so ... ment are ... 5GHz a/n/ac ... or am i mistaking something here....?

The hAP ac will support 866Mbps or it will support 1.3Gbps? If the max stream wide will be 80Mhz we'll have 1300Mbps wich is great for me :D
Does RouterOS support 160Mhz channels in the future? :D

This is the same as the HAP Lite; the upgrade file is loaded in RAM. I've never had a problem upgrading those, but it would have been nice to have enough storage for two partitions.

In the block diagram of hAP http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/RB962U ... 165822.png
I’m disappointed with Eth1-Eth5 gigabit switch chip - cpu 1Gb connection.
And the SFP has separately 1Gb cpu connection.

I think at home, few have SFP connection possibility, and 90% will use with utp cable(Ether1) as uplink WAN port.
In this case all traffic(WAN+LAN) will use the 1Gb link with CPU, so max traffic can be 500+500 theoretically.

Why the SFP+Eth1 not have a dedicated 1Gb connection with CPU?
Something like in RB850Gx2 block diagram http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/RB850G ... 133216.png

Yes, it is an option, but increase the price with ~20%.
Will be interesting a comparative test between Ether1=WAN and SFP/RJ45=WAN routing performance.
Maybe it increase the speed more than 30-40%, if the CPU can handle.

RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT

What! That name is like a joke :) Almost as good as random generated passwords.
.
Just in case someone is not aware of this -

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Product_Naming

RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT

RouterBoard lineup, 900 Series with 6 wired interfaces and 2 wireless interfaces, with USB, power Injector, Gigabit Ethernets and SFP port, combined with 5GHz, High Gain, 802.11ac, Triple chain wireless and and 2.4GHz, High Gain, 802.11n, Triple chain wireless.

In the block diagram of hAP http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/RB962U ... 165822.png
I’m disappointed with Eth1-Eth5 gigabit switch chip - cpu 1Gb connection.
And the SFP has separately 1Gb cpu connection.

I think at home, few have SFP connection possibility, and 90% will use with utp cable(Ether1) as uplink WAN port.
In this case all traffic(WAN+LAN) will use the 1Gb link with CPU, so max traffic can be 500+500 theoretically.

Why the SFP+Eth1 not have a dedicated 1Gb connection with CPU?
Something like in RB850Gx2 block diagram http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/RB850G ... 133216.png
You'll most likely need a fiber connection to get speeds beyond 500M to your home. So a SFP is what is needed anyhow.
Switched traffic within your home can go 1GBit/s through the builtin switch without bogging the cpu. So where is the
application?

$129 USD. Too expensive!

In this price range, we have so many choice for other brand model such as Asus, Netgear.

Agreed I can't find it on their website either - please post here as soon as you are able to get an order placed somewhere in the US!
Unfortunately my happiness was premature since they replied that given e-mail was mistake because they marked it for RB3011 availability. So, we have to wait these 3 weeks.

You gotta be kidding, right? Comparing ROS to stock firmware of SOHO routers or even DD-WRT is like comparing bicycle to motorcycle - both rides, both ends with "cycle" but...

ROS have more features but is not equals high performance for Hap AC!

I'm sorry for the dumb question but I've never used MikroTik products before.
Is there a way to use 1st port on the LAN side to power the router over PoE? Are these (1 to 5) ports interchangable?

Thanks.

Yes, just add it to your LAN bridge. Or, if using chip switching, use master-port.
I'm using this in 2011UiAS. LAN device powering router too, and WAN on the second port.

kobuki product is called hAP AC (the same name as topic). I think it is easy name to remember.

RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT is product code, and it collects all information you need to know about ports and features (if you like).

It is obvious, that this is not the product we were hoping for. Much smaller flash than RB951 (no partitions), not that potent CPU, 1Gb CPU-Switch Interface. I think I will stick with my beloved workhorse RB951G (able to hold 3 partitions with different configs/routeros versions) and wait for something based on a newer chip such as IPQ40x9.

nkourtzis, I'm not a fan of partitions at least on small routers, perhaps multiple partitions are the vital thing for SOHO device (or maybe not).
Though I leave partitions for border devices, and now I'm enjoying enormous speed on unoccupied 5GHz band at home.

I could maybe live with no partitions, but 16MB? This leaves no space for even a metarouter instance! C'mon guys, would even 32MB be such a problem? Flash is so cheap these days, for me no Mikrotik device should be produced with less than 32MB, except maybe the mAPs. Or maybe include a SD card slot, to extend the internal storage for whoever needs to do this.

As for the CPU, when you introduce a device capable of 800+Mbps aggregate WiFi TCP bandwidth, it should be capable of routing all this speed while applying a few queues/rules. You have a dual-core board and there is also IPQ40, why not use these?

RB951 was above the simple home device, a true swiss army knife in a very versatile home factor. HAP AC appears to be solely a home or a very-SOHO device, but not able to do much beyond this.

Please answer on my question. What about wifi speed between iPad Pro and MikroTik HAP AC? Can I get 100 mb/per sec? 8)
depends!

...on SNR, on site influences, distance, signal quality ...
per definition of 802.11ac on 5GHz it is possible....

According to the product flier, it's 5Ghz a/n/ac, and 2Ghz b/g/n (no ac on 2ghz)
yes as i corrected my post in the edit ;)

of course there's no 802.11ac on 2.4GHz

SORRY ... quick shot...
just saw it in the table!!!
Wireless standards 802.11a/n/ac
all good ;)
the website says...
The hAP ac is our most universal home or office wireless device. It is a dual band device with Gigabit ports that allow the full advantages of 802.11ac technology speed, while maintaining compatibility with legacy devices in 2GHz 802.11 b/g/n and 5GHz a/n modes.
so ... ment are ... 5GHz a/n/ac ... or am i mistaking something here....?
because on my GrooveA 52 i also have 5GHz a/n but no ac.....
That sentence says, a) this is an 802.11ac device and b) it is backward compatible with b/g/n and a/n devices.

If that's not what you were asking, I apologize.

haha yeah, as edited, i misread that sentence a little and i was too fast in posting. thx again

Not so much correct.

USB drive cannot be used as ram (aka "memory"). It cannot be used as extension of primary flash drive for installing the software, nor just for package store before installation. Cannot be used as booting partition for ros. But can be used as general file storage, logging area or http proxy storage.

I apologise if it was so easily misunderstood and almost no one felt the slight irony and playfulness. I can assure you that after using various (mostly smaller) Mikrotik devices for like 5-6 years I know your naming scheme.

Thank you G2Dolphin!! I had the cm2 package on the CaPSMan but not on the Cap. Once I made the change I rebooted. I also had to remove the remote cap and a few minutes later it came back with both radios!!

Thanks again!!

Is it? Mikrotik Routers are the Swiss army knives of networking, so little flash seriously cramps my style.
I will not buy any mikrotik device with 16mb flash, either privately or professionally.
Because of that at work we are buying up rb750gl stocks...

It's ridiculous, this decision cannot possibly be worth the money you save by it.

This might be a silly question, but is it possible to use this device as a combination Router and Access Point? Or do I need to buy a hEX too?

I don't see anything about it in the docs, but there are performance test results at the bottom of the product info page that suggest a "Routing" mode is possible:

The same for the ethernet ports I assume? So both radios will bridge with LAN but one ethernet port will serve as WAN? Like a standard SOHO "wireless router"..

From manual:
Third chain of each band can have the antenna changed to a different one, there are two uFL connectors
inside the case, each has a small antenna connected. You can unplug these antennas, and change the
third chain to your own antenna. In most situations this is not required, so the connector is not easily
accessible or marked

Re: HAP AC

Mon Feb 15, 2016 12:39 am

I'm really hoping to see wireless performance tests with the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz AC when someone gets their hands on it! Really interested to see how well it performs and what kind of CPU load you would see when say pushing 600Mbps through the 5Ghz wireless!

Using CAPsMAN these could be a worthy competitor for the UAP-AC-PRO. Using an RF Elements Stationbox for aesthetics when hanging off a ceiling, the only thing the UAP-AC-PRO has going for it is it's 802.3at/af comparability. The hAP AC is a bit cheaper though, although needing a station box negates that a bit. :(

So in the end, very interested to see if it does well using AC. Currently the UAP-AC-PRO is lacking a bit in performance because of the software Ubiquiti has running on it, they recently released a performance "alpha" version for it which raised it from 400~450Mbps to ~500Mbps but still not above that when using a 3x3 client or multiple clients. And when using guest functionality currently it limits all your SSID's to max 150Mbps! So that's a no-go all together.

Oh, the UAP-AC-PRO also supports bandsteering. Does anyone know if Mikrotik will create something like bandsteering in CAPsMAN? It could prevent a lot of headaches!

So people who get it, do some tests and post screenshots! :D

Thnx!

Ok, dat looks ok, not great, but ok. Judging from your comment that it would connect at 1300Mbit your Macbook is a 3x3 AC version?


If you would be willing:
  • Did you happen to note what the CPU usage on the router was?
    How was it configured? As an Access-Point, CAPsMAN, routed/bridged?
    What where the conditions? (How far away, LineofSight or walls, etc.?)
    What blocksize did you use in iperf? Could you test with 1MB blocks (Both on server and client)?
    Could you also try using 4 and 8 parralel connections in iperf to see what difference that makes?

@alber you are awesome! Thank you very much for all your answers! :D

I always use iperf2 from https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php, if you want you can use iperf3 too but the command line switches are a bit different.

If you are using iperf (2) then use the following settings please:
server: "iperf -s -w 1MB"

1 Channel

16 Channels

A second set (if you are willing):
server: "iperf -s -w 64KB"

1 Channel
client: "iperf -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w 64KB -R -P 1 -t 30"

4 Channels
client: "iperf -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w 64KB -R -P 4 -t 30"

16 Channels
client: "iperf -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -w 64KB -R -P 16 -t 30"

That should give us a good overview of total bandwidth attainable using one stream and multiple streams both using large block sizes and small.

My NAS can't use tcp window size greater then 320KB and for test with 16 connection some connections return - write2 failed: Connection reset by peer. Cpu load 90 - 95 %

Re: HAP AC

Fri Feb 19, 2016 5:56 am

Just got hold of a few hAP AC units. Very excited to see the product.

The range of 2.4GHz appears to be far more limited than RB951 that I am currently using. Devices at the far end of my premises are getting a 11dbm weaker signal (-67dbm vs -78dbm), which has rendered the device unsuitable for my purposes (the 5GHz range is far shorter)

Mikrotik has confirmed that the radio in hAP AC is a 1000mW unit, similar to the RB951G. However, from the specs, the antenna is 0.5db lower - not sure if this is the reason for the difference I am seeing. I am sure several others would also be facing a similar challenge.

Would anyone be able to suggest settings I could change to improve the range?

(Otherwise I guess I will need to wait for RB3011 with AC...)

Which country setting are you using? The range should not be any different. Maybe regulatory domain settings affect output power. Antennas should be even better in this one

Did you changed something in Antenna Gain ? Default is 0 as i remember.

Do you use Default Settings or changed something ?

Strangely , in winbox on wlan2 ( 5GHz ) does not reflect the current value of the power of the transmitter :

also in the Terminal :

Just got my hAP ac, here is the detailed photos of the inside. Click to fullsize photos.

By the way, it's quite hot (51°C after 30m of uptime) and high-frequency sounds can be heared when 5Ghz radio is receiving/transmiting data. Seems like, only when 802.11ac high-speed data being sent.
My copper SFP (not from MikroTik) isn't working, while being OK in RB2011.
CPU can't be overclocked higher 720Mhz, only 600Mhz and 500Mhz available to select.

Feel free to ask, if you need something to clarify.

Hi there.

Just got my hands onto a couple of hAP AC's, and now that I've set up everything, my 802.11ac clients only seem to connect at 802.11n speeds. This was all tested with the following settings:

Wireless mode: 40 MHz a/n/ac (both Ce and eC)
Preamble: both
Rates: default
HW protection: none (did also try with RTS/CTS - still no luck from .11ac-capable clients)
TX power: regulatory domain
RD country: Russia
Distance: indoors
WMM: enabled
Security: WPA2 PSK
Clients were Intel 7260-ac and RTL 8812aU

I was able to achieve ~200 Mbps for both downlink and uplink on 40MHz .11n using 3 TCP streams in iperf3. As soon as I get home, I'll try to repeat the test on a different hAP AC and will post its configuration here.

I have issue on my hAP AC. I got max speed with wireless 10Mbps download and 50Mbps upload. Handshake speed with AP and my laptop is 780Mbps. With cable, speed is 1Gbps.

I tried reset my reset, reconfigure it... Changing channel... Changing RoS version...

CPU 4-5% max, no firewall / queue rule.

Also i tested with only default config but speed is same.

BTW, in terms of placement of the router - I had done an in place swap of the 951G - exact same location and orientation. I did not set any country profile. Do I need to?

Have someone make a speedtest in file transfer via Wifi and LAN?

So pros. on this router is:

- 2x2 2.4 Ghz
- 3x3 5Ghz,
- RoS

cons.

- Too overpriced..
- SFP port for SOHO router? Really.?

I have to agree.
It is really hard to use it with gpon (need sfp module priced next $100) and in other hand it is to weak for serious fiber connection.

How can you call this overpriced. It's 120$, that's not expensive for a 5 port Gigabit, 3x3 2.4Ghz and 3x3 5Ghz AC device in any terms. And you also get the awesome power of a Routerboard with it which you wouldn't have in other devices.

So calling it expensive is a stretch by any means. Sure, you can find a TP-link that's cheaper, but that's about it. And it has nowhere the features this does. Even if you slap OpenWRT on it (which can be hit or miss).

Its not vexpensive at all for price you get..

- One Core 750 Mhz Processor
- 128MB ram
-16MB Flash

Compared to Xiaomi Wifi Mini router that cost only $30 is ridiculous.

https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/mini
Are you seriously comparing the two? :lol: :lol: Please, buy the Xiaomi and be happy with it then. Meanwhile I still believe the hAP AC is well priced for it's features.

But seriously, everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, but comparing the hAP AC to a rock bottom Chinese access-point which happens to also have AC but doesn't even include Gigabit or 3x3 WiFi is madness. Myself, as an access-point using CAPsMAN I would compare it against a Ubiquiti UniFi AC PRO for instance. The Ubiquiti version is a little bit more expensive, but not by much and offers a very nice design (No need for a stationbox) and 802.3at/af compatibility. It lacks the ability to do more then that though, but every routerboard (especially since the hAP AC has more ports) does have. There is others I could compare it with, but they either don't have the same features or cost a lot more (Zyxel, Engenius, etc.).

Although I'm quite sure Mikrotik is already working on this, make a nicely designed ceiling mountable version please! :)

Besides the use as a pure access-point I also see good use for it for people who would otherwise have gotten a RB2011 for instance. To provide routing/firewall for their home, combined with WiFi. And yes in that mode the CPU might become a bit starved for resources, but with a 100Mbps internet connection and some AC clients it will still perform pretty good for the money!

Anyway, that's my opinion. I'm still hoping to see more bandwith tests from people who already have one! I'll post mine as soon as I receive it.

If you're going to compare the Xiaomi with a Mikrotik access point the hAP AC Lite would be a better comparison; that one is available for about $40 and has more ethernet ports + a faster CPU than the Xiaomi. And it comes with RouterOS preinstalled, instead of having to jump through hoops to get OpenWrt on the Xiaomi.

If someone has a GPON service at their house, they sure would love to put the ONT SFP into their Mikrotik and not have a second device on their shelf / under their desk.......

Except the CPU in the device is far too weak to handle fiber connections. Even using 3x3 wireless maxes out the CPU. This device is much better suited as an access point than a router.

It is.... and I agree that it's best suited as an AP.... you obviously missed my earlier rant post in this thread. ;)

If I owned one of these, it would be specifically as a CAPSMAN access point only - play to the device's strength.

Another nice use of the SFP port would be in offices where there is fiber between buildings and you just want to put an AP in the building....
In that scenario, the SFP isn't adding any load to the device that wouldn't already be on it by bridging a gigabit of WiFi.

But do we know the CPU is too slow or are you estimating? From the reports we gathered we got one report of it being too slow, but I'd like to see more results.

Judging from the specs on routerboard.com the device seems to be a lot faster then for instance an RB2011. Just judging by CPU Mhz isn't going to work in this case. It's a little bit slower then the RB850Gx2 but not by that much.

I also see this platform (CPU + Wireless chips) used in a lot of other products, so there must have been some matching going on. I'm willing to bet it's going to be fine as an access-point at least and when down the line some routing should be good too.

Still, wireless benchmarks and throughput graphs with a good scenario description when more people get these would be awesome! Only then will we know for sure.:D

Getting mine in a few days and I will certainly put it through a lot of tests! Sadly, I don't have a really good AC client. I did order multiple though, so I'll build a bridge with it. :)

- SFP port for SOHO router? Really.?
If someone has a GPON service at their house, they sure would love to put the ONT SFP into their Mikrotik and not have a second device on their shelf / under their desk.......
Most of the time it won't work.

Most of the time it won't work.
All my point was is that the SFP port isn't "worse than useless" as was implied.

My other example of terminating a fiber link into a building with it is also valid - because the hardware switch doesn't bog the CPU - you could have 6 APs in a building (one with fiber, and 5 more hanging off of its 5 ports) and still be able to drop off some cat5 from the other 5 APs for printers, or other devices that might require a wired ethernet link.

Anyhoo - I'm dropping back out of this thread. Those who feel that Mikrotik has delivered a lemon shall not be convinced otherwise. Me, I think it's a great Access Point and if I actually owned any AC clients, I'd be shelling out the $100-ish for one and smiling when it arrived.

Only time will say how good or bad is. Let's wait.
I'm not interested anyway.
3x3 mimo is expensive and 99.9% is also useless. Most portable devices are only 1x1. The only good thing I've seen is better range.

Its not vexpensive at all for price you get..

- One Core 750 Mhz Processor
- 128MB ram
-16MB Flash

Compared to Xiaomi Wifi Mini router that cost only $30 is ridiculous.
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/mini
If you're going to compare the Xiaomi with a Mikrotik access point the hAP AC Lite would be a better comparison; that one is available for about $40 and has more ethernet ports + a faster CPU than the Xiaomi. And it comes with RouterOS preinstalled, instead of having to jump through hoops to get OpenWrt on the Xiaomi.
What you will say if i tell you that Xiaomi Wifi Mini get better results then RB2011 in wireless range ?

2. HAP Lite ia also 10/100 so no big different then Xiaomi.

3. Xiaomi have 128 mb ddr2 ram 800 mhz and hap lite only 64.

4. Xiaomi Wifi Mini in my tests get better transfer results then RB2011.

I don't even know what to reply to this.

Ok, better range is nice for the Xiaomi? Yes they both have 100Mbit? Who cares about the RAM in the scenario's we're talking about? CPU in both is plenty fast enough for the 100Mbit ports, yes. And the last one, yes, you said that as point 1 too.

But basically you are saying that the hAP Lite and Xiaomi are about the same cost and the same functionality (Except for multiple ports, USB, POE in and out, CAPsMAN, great interface, routing, firewall, VPN possabilities, etc.. So, euhm, sure. They are comparable (if only used as an access-point with power wire connected) and cost about the same, great, we can agree on that. I also know you could flash it with OpenWRT to get some functionality but that still doesn't bring it up to par in my opinion.

I'll give you one better. Why not get a hAP Lite without AC. AC is useless using the 100Mbit ports anyway. It costs half of the Xiaomi but does come with more ports, POE, CAPsMAN, plenty of power for 100Mbit, RouterOS, a great interface, etc.!

I still do not agree though that the hAP AC (which this topic is about), as you stated originally, is comparable with the Xiaomi access-point. I think that should be obvious by now. But if your very happy with it, please, use that!

But our discussion past this point has become kind of pointless I believe, back to the hAP AC and actual findings about it! :)

p.s. The RB2011 isn't a super champion in wireless throughput, range is pretty decent though. I've used my own external antenna's before to help it out. :)

I've found out about MikroTik routers a bit less than a year ago. It was pleasant surprised that MikroTik is Latvian (local for me) company. So I decided to update my home network and buy one of Mikrotik routers.
Now I have old version of TL-WR1043ND router, which can handle about 104 Mbit/s max by wires and almost nothing by wifi. Problem is that my ISP give me real 250 Mbit/s so TL cuts half of the speed.
I've stopped on RB951G-2HnD model, but found out that it is quite old and according to these I've been waiting of its next update. I've been waiting more than half year of its update...seems like most of us in these thread.
Now we have HAP AC released, but I'm still worried reading comments in these thread. So please give me your suggestion or advice how to find my MikroTik device :)
Now I have 250 Mbit/s internet, further it may be updated to 500 or 700 Mbit/s. Will these device feet my needs and will it be able to throughput such speeds by wires? What speed these device can give through OpenVPN? Or probably I need to pay my attention to some other MikroTik device?
Conditions: a few PC's connected by wires and a few devices by wifi.

Don't be. This is very good device. You should be happy. It should handle 1Gbps NAT LAN to WAN. It will have around 500Mbps Wireless AC. It'll be just fine. Don't expect any awesomeness from OpenVPN: it will be able to handle around 15-20Mbps of traffic (no HW cryptography acceleration).

This is Ethernet test, since OP asked about Ethernet. But my Laptop is not very fast. It is via USB-Ethernet adapter. More professional test is needed for making conclusions :) Like I said, between this one, and the ISP, there are some 4 more routers.

For those that are interested in using the hAP AC with CAPsMAN: throughput stats using that setup, with no local forwarding (i.e. routing/firewalling handled on the router hosting CAPsMAN).

All tests done between a Linux machine connected through gigabit ethernet directly in the router running CAPsMAN, and a 2015-model Macbook Pro connected through 802.11ac on a hAP AC, with iperf set to a 416 KByte window size on the server size.

The test routers are running 6.35rc12 with the wireless-rep package.

Single stream
About 20% idle time on the hAP AC, throughput just below 300 Mbps (varying between 260-285 Mbps average for each 30 second test run). Ping latency over the wireless network stays below 5ms, no packet loss.

Four streams
About 5% idle time, 300-330 Mbps throughput. Ping latency sometimes spikes to 20ms, no packet loss.

Sixteen streams
CPU still shows about 5% idle time, 330-350 Mbps throughput. Ping latency gets up to 50-60ms while the test is running, with about 5% packet loss.

The results are slightly better than I expected beforehand. The profiler tool says about 50% of the CPU usage is from "wireless", with the rest split evenly between "networking" and "ethernet".

That's 80 MHz, the Macbook connected as "877.5Mbps-80MHz/3S". But the limiting factor appears to be the CPU in the hAP AC, not a lack of wireless bandwidth. What would you like to see screenshots of?

AFAIK it is; the "allow fastpath" setting is on and there are no firewall rules (this is an internal AP used for testing, and all traffic is handled by the CAPsMAN router). The complete config is available here:

Awesome tests @mavink! Sad to see the CPU still be the bottleneck. If this keeps up, hopefully Mikrotik can optimize the needed CPU power when in CAPsMAN mode like Ubiquiti is doing with the UAP-AC-PRO.

Did you set up an encrypted wireless SSID or open? That could make a difference and I can't read it from your config.

I think the biggest thing is that it's not using local forwarding, which means that the CPU is tunneling the traffic back to the CAPSMAN.

You think that without CAPSMAN would achieve a better result?


mavink: Can you test it without CAPSMAN and with disabled connection tracking?

Unfortunately US users are out of luck. Availability date for most retailers slipped to end of march :(
The official price from my local distributor is $108 for US version: http://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik- ... ennas.html

There's also another offer for these in rush - http://www.amazon.com/Mikrotik-RouterBo ... 01BMMK4HI/
It's an international version for nearly $119 (which is still $10 cheaper than MSRP), but they charge almost $24 for shipping. Looking at their contact # packages are shipped directly from Latvia.

Another seller is also shipping the international version straight from Latvia on eBay - or maybe it's the same seller. Late March is really not going to work for this project, I am up against a wall now. It's either go with UAP-AC-Pros or try to import some of these international units.

Edit: The eBay seller "UBNTSHOP" is a trademark of EURO DK LTD., so the two sellers are the same.

EDIT2: on their direct website, http://www.eurodk.com/en/products/wifi- ... ard-hap-ac they sell the units for $99 each, and the checkout page has quoted me $24.05 for DHL Express Worldwide shipping for 3x hAP ACs. That comes out to about the same price as if I were to buy the US version locally in a MONTH. I realize that Mikrotik is being limited by the FCC, but this situation is ridiculous. I've looked up the FCC regulations on this and I'm not comfortable trying to import the international version myself. But if someone else does it without issue please let us know so that I can be right behind you.

Thank you so much for the direct link - I didn't bother checking before!

Are there any other extra taxes or customs involved?


In case of EuroDK shop you need to also add the cost of payment. Following fees were calculated for me with address near the Chicago BA and single hAP AC:
Image

So, it's $99 for the router + $19.84 for UPS + $2.67 for CC payment = $121,51 - few bucks less than MSRP and few more than from local distributor. With delivery time of 3-7 business days I'm in...
Now I only have to wait for arrival :D
