MikroTik hAP performance comparison AC (WiFi 5) vs AX (WiFi 6)

[@LorenzoDeSousa]

reckon the hap ax lite is one of the best bang for buck product there is, solid processor couple gigabit ports and wifi6, realistically all you need at home, two of them cheaper and probably more powerful than one l009, but its red, and metal and we cant help ourselves.

Yeah but 2.4ghz only... I did pay extra for ax2 and made sure there are as little congestion as possible (Our office has 500Mbit pipe).

[@suszig]

how do you compare WIFI6 on AC2 ? as I know it supports WIFI5 only... (?)

[@AlexanderBelikov]

I have hAP ac3 and it not enough wifi range for me in some parts of the appartment. Will hAP ax3 improve the range? I have a small ax travel router which located near hAP ac3 and it has much better range. Wondering if I should upgrade to hAP ax3 or go with a different brand... since I'm not very happy with wifi in Mikrotiks

Hi @AlexanderBelikov, If you have WiFi6 (802.11ax) client devices (phones, laptop, tablet), then opting for the Mikrotik hAP ax3 could give you better range and throughput than that of the WiFi5 (802.11ac). The benefit comes from using WiFi6 clients with the WiFi6 AP. If you don't have devices with this WiFi standard, then the benefits are going to be minimal, if any, in wireless performance.

Very helpful video. Pity poe does not come on the hap ax hex lite 😢 I hate power cables to my routers.

I wonder how speed compares when there are some walls between devices. My problem is not wifi speed in optimal, laboratory conditions, but in six story brick house when I can detect roughly 40 SSIDs and some old devices had problem to connect at 5m distance, some can so-so work through 50cm/20inch thick wall, but problem is mix of attenuation and interference.

Could be interesting to compare AC3 with Wave2 pack and AX3

[@leratoradebe6438]

Nice, how about another... where you compare Mikrotik's wAP LTE, SXT LTE, LHG/LHGG LTE, and the new ATL LTE?

[@scoop_distribution]

Mikrotik are currently refining some of the range with new LTE6 chipset. We will keep this in mind for a future video.

@@scoop_distribution Thank you, will you guys have the new ATL18 LTE next year?

mikrotik doesn't work well with wifi. There are a lot of articles on the Internet and on forums where people write that hap ax2/3 work worse than the old keenetik asus tplink, etc. wpa3 is disabled.
