Hello,
why mikrotik ROS no supported AC wave2 MU-MIMO?
What ist problem? Its driver problem or ROS kernel problem?
Agreed, Mikrotik is like any other religion,i believe in Mikrotik
Obviously - and I sure hope they stay like this. The moment they start asking me to bow down and pray is the moment I will change brands.Seriously folks, MT is a business not a church LOL. They will make decisions that are deemed profitable.
anav, with all my respect, I think you could not be more off.Wifi has its limitations mu-mimo might optimize the physics but there are hard limitations at frequencies used and the environments we use them in.
I would prefer clearer documentation, and stable systems and then the ability to tune the WIFI (without guesswork and head scratching AND THEN ......... add on capabilities.
Poorly documented mu-mimo that is unstable and not tunable has no interest from me.
I believe I need a different vendor for wireless.i believe in Mikrotik
There is a nice feature which is called "airtime fairness" which actually helps a lot and is used by a lot of vendors, not only the big onesYou nor anyone else will be able to get more out of those Wifi system, you would only be able to reduce performance actually...
You can adjust TX power on Ros.. isnt the same?I'm currently using OpenWRT on my AC2 with ath10k ct smallbuffers driver, much better coverage than ROS (higher TX power I guess) and MU-MIMO is also enabled. The port still needs some additional work till it gets into mainline branch https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3037 but it's more promising than ROS 7 for home users xD
That is interesting. Did you perform some benchmarks to compare WiFi Speed between RouterOS and OpenWRT?I'm currently using OpenWRT on my AC2 with ath10k ct smallbuffers driver
For a fair comparison you should only compare legal TX power (depending on channel and sometimes country), not illegal settings that you may be able to do in an uncontrolled environment but you cannot reasonably expect from MikroTik.much better coverage than ROS (higher TX power I guess)
I have an US locked unitYou can adjust TX power on Ros.. isnt the same?I'm currently using OpenWRT on my AC2 with ath10k ct smallbuffers driver, much better coverage than ROS (higher TX power I guess) and MU-MIMO is also enabled.

No yet, if you save your ROS license key then you should be able to use Netinstall and revert to ROS since OpenWRT doesn't modifies the bootloader.That is interesting.

Is it possible to revert to RouterOS with included license?
well, in theory it is possible to have 2 wireless packages. one called wireless-sp (or something similar) to add drivers for the non-mainstream things.ROS it's good but Mikrotik should really consider dropping their actual driver in favor of ath10k in SOHO products, e.g. an indoor AP will never require to run PTP protocols like NV2 or nstreme instead they need better 802.11ac support.
