NetMetal ax - extra tough outdoor Wi-Fi 6 access point!

[@kchiem]

wifi6 version of the map lite?

[@schweini413]

I realy miss CAP tunneling to CAPSMAN. When are you going to implement this feature again? For me, it was a key feature in mikrotik WiFi.

[@ChrisNicholson]

Because you didn't understand VLANs and access ports? Or didn't notice the major performance and speed hit of having everything go back to the router? What exactly made it so wonderful? I even left out how it relied on that horrible radio driver that was so big riddled that even Mikrotik would cop to the fact that they were not the right choice for client serving wifi.

[@schweini413]

@@ChrisNicholson Because you can tunnel over routed networks. Not just L2. I am pretty familiar with VLANs. Other vendors are capable of this function.

[@harenber]

Any Idea when it might be available in the wild?

[@paolocortina7674]

Cpe cliente wifi6 ax? Coming soon?

[@shaunclarke94]

Disappointed to see the trend of still continuing with passive PoE though. It's 2024.

[@andreag23900]

Yeah, it’s annoying.. I thought I could’ve powered my ONT with a PoE extractor but I can’t cause the hPA AX3 still has only passive PoE out

[@returnedinformation1040]

Passive? It's Gigabit, doesn't that make it active, even though it's on their 24V levels or less?

[@shaunclarke94]

@@returnedinformation1040 it's passive because it's not 802.3 compliant and there's no negotiation for power delivery. You can absolutely have passive even with gigabit. Mikrotik even sell and supply passive gigabit injectors.

[@RenzoRosales_FL]

​@@returnedinformation1040it's based on power requirements, not speed

[@iamyulianto2]

​@@returnedinformation1040I think you need to learn more about PoE. Gigabit doesn't make it active. Nowadays almost all modern switches and routers are using the standard 802.3af/at that are really "Active", means there are negotiation of power between PSE and PD.

I swear to the Banana Lord, Mikrotik is really getting too big and too good for planet earth alone. Time to conquer Mars!

i have bought netmetal , i tested it has much probllem its has no superchanel and selection of frrequency very narrow , i have used for almost 4 km 34db dish but it doesnt works ..

[@slavob1751]

same result absolutly unusable in outdoor all channel was interference and this device dont work. Old NV2 device work very vell in interference DONT BUY THI DEVICE !!!

[@miroslav.joksimovic]

The same shit. Frequencies lost their meaning. Complete disappointment.

[@hiwa_ar]

@@miroslav.joksimovic wish mikrotik fix that issue face to us , before have superchanell and we could use any of frequency but now its limited

wish mikrotik fix that issue face to us , before have superchanell and we could use any of frequency but now its limited , its very bad for noisy area

[@secuuda]

I have had the mikrotik metal 52ac on my boat for 3 years and wondering if this would be a better unit for longer range and better stability. What antennas would work the best with this unit as I have a 6 and 9db that I use on the metal 52 ac or do you have an alterative antenna.

[@RenzoRosales_FL]

Is wAP ax next?

[@TheFlatronify]

Absolutely waiting for the wAP ax + cAP ax² (which is not so huge, much more nimble)

[@universys-y6q]

Can i get video for Netmetal Ax model Point to Point Configuration purpose. It doesnot work even desk test.

[@ve55]

I‘m very curious about wAP ax release … and btw.. when will the MikroTik iOS app work again with RouterOS 7.13.x ? Since this release Capsman is under a new menu which the App does not now.

[@olatundeoyebanjo2871]

Can it use legacy antenna? Like mAnt 15S and still be W-Fi 6?

[@wilsonkwok1109]

How about OmniTek and SXT Product line.when update AX PtoP or PtoMP product ?

[@TAGTECHNG]

I want to ask if this device can be used for PTP connection at 12 km distance. What is the best-recommended Antenna to be used for this connection to achieve the topmost throughput? what is the maximum throughput I can get from this solution?

[@gunchag]

I would choose some RF Elements antenna because they have really small sidelobes.

[@TAGTECHNG]

@@gunchag Can you share the model and link to the model if you can. Thank you

[@techieg33k]

And I just put up my NetMetal AC2 haha. I only use them for the 2.4Ghz though so I think I'll be just fine. I know what I'll be getting if mind ever fails

[@dataplatter]

Two antennas huh?

[@eW0LF]

NetMetal ac2 was quad core. NetMetal ax is dual core. Also, why don't you offer more RAM and SFP+?

[@mikrotik]

That's not true. NetMetal ac is single core, NetMetal ax is a MUCH faster ARM64 device

[@eW0LF]

@@mikrotik I am talking about NetMetal ac2 (RBD23UGS-5HPacD2HnD-NM) with quad core IPQ-4019

[@tssge5]

@@eW0LF SFP+ would make no sense, as wifi in this device is 2400Mbps max

is it the same Motherbard like die L23?

Yes

Use Mimosa C5c or anything else. This device is complete shit, believe me.

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkh]

Took you forever to do wifi6, now that wifi7 is becoming common.

[@rafaelfelipegandarainostro1380]

This is TOTALLY PERFECT!!! Finally a Mikrotik product that i'm fall in love! This made my year! Only one question, what is the max output on Wi-Fi? 30dbm?

[@karzankerkuki4935]

Like a military device armor body ✔

[@petrmiskerik]

netmetal ac2 will be no longer on the market ? I need these units...

[@SY1337]

why would you keep buying ac2s, when the ax offers more features at the same price? you can still connect with ac devices..

[@petrmiskerik]

​@@SY1337 cause I wanna continue using older capsman, which with these units will no longer possible
