Has MikroTik shared the configuration and RouterOS version they were using on those Hap ACs? I am interested in using the same model for an upcoming conference but am a bit nervous about using such a new device for such an important crowd.The proof is in the puddle: to provide an example based on the same device you mentioned, Hap AC, four of them were deployed on last Ljubljana MUM conference hall, and each averaged 150 registered stations.
I used the same setup in Bangladesh MUM with 650 people. We had one hAP ac, simply enabled Guest Mode in the Quickset. Basically default config. Worked very well. We had a flawless live video stream though the same device.Has MikroTik shared the configuration and RouterOS version they were using on those Hap ACs?

Impressive! Were you using the wireless-cm package?I used the same setup in Bangladesh MUM with 650 people. We had one hAP ac, simply enabled Guest Mode in the Quickset. Basically default config. Worked very well. We had a flawless live video stream though the same device.
Yes, of course. Surely not all people were connected at once. The hAP ac is dual band, so some 70% were using 2GHz, others used the 5GHz. Around 100 were connected at the same time.Impressive!

The CPU becomes maxed out before the 802.11ac interface reaches maximum throughput. There's several reports in the hAP AC announcement thread. Hopefully the upcoming newer wireless drivers will improve efficiency.Bottlenecked in AP only mode? What do you mean?
I'm also hoping that there will be driver and efficiency improvements, especially since upload and download seems to generate a different amount of CPU load.The CPU becomes maxed out before the 802.11ac interface reaches maximum throughput.

i guess wAP ac will be the robust AP, and hAP ac will remain the universal workhorse for many.When I look at the hAP AC, everything about it tells me that its primary intended function is as a simple, but robust access point.
This +if i could ask something for the so-ho segment, it would be the CPU of hAP ac in a CRS. or a dual core arm in a CRS.
then throw in som wAP acs, and call it a day.
And throw a few firewall rules on there, and watch what happens then...Regarding real TCP throughput you have the results of Xena2544 tests on each routerboard product page, see http://routerboard.com/RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT
I think you mean 3.0. 750/75 should be about the maximum for RB2011 with fasttrack.
ok, there are bursts, and the device must support it. soon my access will be upgraded to 24ch DOCSIS3.1.
but i think my trusty old RB2011 can handle it. but i'll have a hAP ac around to see some comparison.
Tests include different packet sizes done with several rules...And throw a few firewall rules on there, and watch what happens then...Regarding real TCP throughput you have the results of Xena2544 tests on each routerboard product page, see http://routerboard.com/RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT
Even the CCR with 10G interfaces, *battles* *severely* to do more than 4Gbps....
On paper these devices looks very good, in practice, I'm sorry to say I'm with the OP - it's an COMPLETELY different ball game.
Just to clarify 68MB = 544 Megabits or MbWell I also have problem with maxing out CPU in RB2011 below gigabit - around 68 MB/s, something like that - during NAS access and it's quite meh but on the other hand... I don't think it's that bad for 120$ swiss-knife router+wifi+10/100 switch+everything with touch screen, sfp usb, super-duper OS... so on so on... I'll probably consider upgrading to some entry level CCR1009. On the other hand I think it's quite weird that I need to get such tough router for home usage just to reach gigabit to NAS because 3011 is not available in desktop case. Yeah i know i could use switch chip but nah I'm using NAT and firewall between various subnets at home just in case home server would get compromised, so in some places i do have gigabit but not everywhere. So i think CPUs in RB could be a liiiiiitle bit better. Still in love with 2011 as it was my first MT
Oh that's interesting. I have 1600 something L2 MTU. I didn't notice option to change it anywhere I thought it's device dependent, as in static, but I'll try to find something about it. Thanks for head up.Just to clarify 68MB = 544 Megabits or Mb
Also, are you using the highest L2/L3 MTU possible on the LAN segment? It makes a big difference and if you're only using 1500 bytes, that's probably why you're stuck at half of a gig.
You can raise the MTU on the LAN segment for higher LAN speeds and still use 1500 bytes for the Interwebz
definitivelyif i could ask something for the so-ho segment, it would be the CPU of hAP ac in a CRS. or a dual core arm in a CRS.When I look at the hAP AC, everything about it tells me that its primary intended function is as a simple, but robust access point.
then throw in som wAP acs, and call it a day.
- CRS125 should be more or less enough for a 750/75 connection with fasttrack.if i could ask something for the so-ho segment, it would be the CPU of hAP ac in a CRS. or a dual core arm in a CRS.

forgot to add, wAP AC is in the way... http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/E ... 407120.pdfif i could ask something for the so-ho segment, it would be the CPU of hAP ac in a CRS. or a dual core arm in a CRS.

Scratch that. USB 3.0 is a must.- CRS125 should be more or less enough for a 750/75 connection with fasttrack.if i could ask something for the so-ho segment, it would be the CPU of hAP ac in a CRS. or a dual core arm in a CRS.

- hAP ac is a bit below 1000, so it is not really interesting for CRS
- 850Gx2 can handle 1000 for a bit more, so it's good
- 3011 ARM is a bit expensive. Power is wasted without SFP+ WAN
wAP AC is cool. When is it planned to arrive? Will wait for it as a replacement for crappy Unifi AP AC I bought a year ago. Btw, why Mtk uses such design for AP and not common UFO like?forgot to add, wAP AC is in the way... http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/E ... 407120.pdfif i could ask something for the so-ho segment, it would be the CPU of hAP ac in a CRS. or a dual core arm in a CRS.

why try to do the same as others? wAP is smaller.Btw, why Mtk uses such design for AP and not common UFO like?
wAP also has a nice touch as they come from factory: anti-tamper torx screws, protecting access to the ethernet cable.wAP AC is cool. When is it planned to arrive?

Good News. What is the estimated cost?why try to do the same as others? wAP is smaller.Btw, why Mtk uses such design for AP and not common UFO like?
wAP ac will ship to distributors in second half of april, approximately
No offense. Just asking.why try to do the same as others? wAP is smaller.Btw, why Mtk uses such design for AP and not common UFO like?
Everyone is about a month out it seems.Have had a hAP AC on order for a while now. My usual suppliers don't seem to have received them yet.
