You can create a separate wifi 2.4 network working on different channels than your main network.I need a system that can handle
Don't think you can use this device standalone as an AP without any sort of "controller" (+ license) on your network.I did find Access Point Cisco AIR AP1832I-E-K9 used for 20€ should I use this for wifi? What router should I use then?
yeah cisco is a bit complicated i like mikrotik if possible i prefer mikrotikDon't think you can use this device standalone as an AP without any sort of "controller" (+ license) on your network.I did find Access Point Cisco AIR AP1832I-E-K9 used for 20€ should I use this for wifi?

Read very good before spending 20 euro on a device you possibly cannot even use.
De devil is in the details.

Make sure you ask what image is currently on the AP ! It nees the Mobility Express for sure, if there is some lightweight CAPWAP image on it needs to integrate with a WLC (Wireless LAN Controller) of some sort.
You want to have good a quality traffic but you buy switches for 7$? What quality do you expect?
I do not say that these switches are cause of your problems but they could be.
Why do you pass traffic from ac3 to ac via SG105M and via next one to plex server? Is it over 200m from ac3 to plex?
On the other hand ... do you really need 50 WiFi devices connected and transmiting data all the time? Really?
Try to connect as may of them with cable to lower WiFi crowd.
There is limited WiFi capacity despite the technology you use: 2.4, 5GHz. If you have neighbours with WiFi turned on, they interfere with your network too. Do you have hotspots in phones switched off or do they do more mess?
BTW: Quality costs. With so limited budget there are not too many options to choose from.
I should use virtual network or cheap wifi ap only for domotic stuff?You can create a separate wifi 2.4 network working on different channels than your main network.I need a system that can handle
Although as you already have multiple AP's that can be a challenge.
Virtual interfaces can't work on different channels than its masters, so I meant additional cheap 2.4Ghz AP(s).I should use virtual network or cheap wifi ap only for domotic stuff?

Bro... dont spread bad information. Just because you had bad experience or bad configuration. ALL Comes down to configuration + environmental variables.Don't touch MT WiFi with a 10 foot pole! The very fastest I can get is 450 Mbps in the best conditions and that's nothing compared to my gigabit Internet connection. You might be able to go faster if you get the RB4011 Wireless Edition but that's several hundred dollars. However, if you're doing a PtP link, then they make some seriously swanky stuff for that.
Did you check my diagram? I put the hap ac3 as main router I only have 250mb internet speed i dont need nothing more then 500mbsBro... dont spread bad information.

Majority of CONSUMER Access Points at the SAME price level have the SAME performance. Look at the spec sheets of similar Netgear, TP-Link, Ubiquiti AP's.... Their sepcs, even MikroTiks are DUPLEX! So 5Ghz 2/3 band at 866Mbps would be ~430Mbps simplex. 5Ghz 1733Mbps would be ~600... If you want Gigabit performance, hardwire your device(s).
I've been using MikroTik wireless for years with good success. If my customers require more performance or EXPECT more from them; then go with more expensive product/brand/solution.
Try the new hAPac3 with v7
new MikroTik Ap's should hopefully be soon released.
What is wrong with hAP ac's switching performance, so "regular" switch should be somehow better?Why are you using a hap AC to connect your plex server. Use a regular network L2 switch for better performance?
What about MIKROTIK - RB941-2ND-TC 300MBIT/S is 20€ in a local store!Any 2.4 APs will do.
They don't even need to be from the same vendor or anything.
Not if sensors or wifi light bulbs need roaming or anything like that.
cAP lite is an example.
The hap ac is my main router now so i found ok to have it doitn switch and wifi ap don´t u agree?Looked at your diagram.
Why are you using a hap AC to connect your plex server. Use a regular network L2 switch for better performance? OR are you wireless bridging??
Yes the hAP Ac3 router would work just fine given your internet connection speed. You should be able to get that speed while connected to 5Ghz interface ON! the hAP ac3 unit itself...
5Ghz-only-ac, Ch5180 or 5200, 20Mhz/Ceee.
Yes, hAP ac switching performance is fine, all comes down to how configured. using switch chip vs bridge-vlan. If no vlans then yeah - sure wirespeed :). Just figured depending on configuration or requirements at tomes a regular L2 switch easier for most.What is wrong with hAP ac's switching performance, so "regular" switch should be somehow better?Why are you using a hap AC to connect your plex server.

hAP AC should suffice and be just fine as both. Although the hAp ac3 has more powerful cpu, external antenna's with higher gain; but slightly slower 5Ghz chipThe hap ac is my main router now so i found ok to have it doitn switch and wifi ap don´t u agree?Looked at your diagram.

I don´t know yet how to configure all but in my diagram what do you think is the best performace? can i do mesh betwen 3 wifi AP or is non sense? the not wired AP is gonna be the worst performace but i need that for outside cameras and barbecue wifi don´t have any way to put cable there!Yes, hAP ac switching performance is fine, all comes down to how configured. using switch chip vs bridge-vlan.

you can "Mesh" WDS bridge the access-point. Or even make the outside access point be put in ap-bridge station mode. I am doing something similar myself. Depending on LOS and any walls -- you could use the 5Ghz channel and then leave 2.4Ghz for all devices outside [think distance/range]. But understand your bandwidth will be less.I don´t know yet how to configure all but in my diagram what do you think is the best performace? can i do mesh betwen 3 wifi AP or is non sense? the not wired AP is gonna be the worst performace but i need that for outside cameras and barbecue wifi don´t have any way to put cable there!Yes, hAP ac switching performance is fine, all comes down to how configured. using switch chip vs bridge-vlan.

Why on earth would anyone configure bridge vlan filtering on a device that have a single switch-chip but no hw-offloading for vlans?all comes down to how configured. using switch chip vs bridge-vlan.

I Was giving an example as to my reasoning to some people are better off using a regular L2 switch instead of MikroTik router as a switch.....Why on earth would anyone configure bridge vlan filtering on a device that have a single switch-chip but no hw-offloading for vlans?all comes down to how configured. using switch chip vs bridge-vlan.
Only the need the use of IP firewall or something like that, but "regular" switch can't do all that, so one shouldn't complain about performance then.
No? We're saying you can use the MikroTik hAP AC3 as router + Wifi combo - great device. Or if you prefer just use Mikrotik router and any brand wireless access point you want.Should I opt to pfsense and unifi Wifi ap?
Thank you one more question is possible to use CAPsMAN with non wired devices?No? We're saying you can use the MikroTik hAP AC3 as router + Wifi combo - great device. Or if you prefer just use Mikrotik router and any brand wireless access point you want.Should I opt to pfsense and unifi Wifi ap?
your design was OK.
Well, one could also ask "why on earth does RouterOS not map the simple case of bridg-with-vlan-filtering to switch chip programming, when there are no features configured the swich chip cannot handle".Why on earth would anyone configure bridge vlan filtering on a device that have a single switch-chip but no hw-offloading for vlans?all comes down to how configured. using switch chip vs bridge-vlan.
Yes, something like the checkbox "translate vlan config to switch-chip" comes to mind.Well, one could also ask "why on earth does RouterOS not map the simple case of bridg-with-vlan-filtering to switch chip programming, when there are no features configured the swich chip cannot handle".
If one can be done, then why not the other?
The exact same check would be needed for this "translate to switch-chip..." button too.And then the code for HW offload would become quite heavy running all the checking whether some functionality can be offloaded to a particular switch chip in use or not (currently the check for most bridge functions is simple: is the board in use CRS3xx or not?
The plain switch offloading works automatically. You select "HW offload" in the port and the device itself checks if it can offload and if so it does it. That is switch programming from the bridge, I would think.The exact same check would be needed for this "translate to switch-chip..." button too.
Yes, that would be close to ideal.I would expect that the switch menu would be deprecated and everything done from the bridge level.
The characteristics of the device would determine what HW offload can be done.
However if everything is done in the bridge menu one has to remember exactly what settings can be offloaded, and what - not
Sure thing.Hmmm ... you know that by heart? I have to check if bridge port still shows "H" among status flags all the time ;-)
