What is the expected release date for the CAP AX AP and preliminary spec sheet?

I have Comcast Gigabit Pro and my setup is this.... Arris S33 Modem connected @ 2.5Gb through a S+RJ10 SFP+, plugged into a RB4011. I also have two CAP AC AP's powered by two RBGPOE power injectors. The setup runs without issues, and I even have IPV6 working as well with Comcast. I have two wired Et...

Since Capsman would require a total rewrite to work with WiFi5/6 interfaces and the Dude server basically being obsolete, and Winbox only working on windows, I can see why they are looking at going this route. I would stick to the ARM (Maybe Risk-V) processor platforms for the external unit controll...

I live in the US and get my stuff from Multilink Solutions. They have been good in the dozen or so purchases I have done with them.

I would use a beam AP down each isle on it's own channels. The channels could be set to 12mb 2.5GHz and 40mb on 5GHz bandwidth since you are using it for POS equipment only. You can use something like this https://mikrotik.com/product/RBMetalG-52SHPacn But you will have to turn the power way down so...

I was talking about how your network gear is connected to each other. As for cable, if you have cat5 now and it is under 50m in length, it should be fine for you to use, but upgrading it would not hurt.

Well researching your network gear and knowing your setup now, your biggest choke point is your Netis DL4323U9 router and the 100Mb switches are the second, with the AP's being the third. With a connection of 200Mb down/100Mb up, 100Mb Ethernet will bottle neck your 200Mb speed, so you will need to ...

Ok, so all of the inside walls are brickwork, which will make 5Ghz a bit of a challenge. Which box is your networks router, is it the Nokia ONT or the Netis DL4323U? Also, how is everything connected? Nokia ONT to Netis DL4323U Netis DL4323U to DES-1005A10/100 to D-Link DAP-1360 Netis DL4323U to DLi...

What is the size of each floor and are the walls made of brick or drywall? Will your buddy help you setup the network?

Yes, the SFP port is bridged with the rest of the ports. The only things you will need to do is set port mirroring from port one to the SFP port and set the switches IP to match the network it is going in (Fixed or DHCP). Also, if you do not need the POE capability, I would go with the RB260GS for l...

MT always rolled its own WiFi drivers instead of using those form chip vendors. I suspect the dramatically increased complexity of recent WiFi standards brings much troubles to this approach. You are 100% correct on this and I also think this is why MT has yet to put out a true WiFi5 or 6/6E device...

Do you have some propose of which book to buy. Not for completely beginers. I found this https://www.amazon.com/Theory-laboratories-exercises-Mikrotik-RouterOS/dp/1686046960 That is a good beginners book that should be paired with the first of the two, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S311KWP?r...

No there is not a lot of worry about Mikrotik "suddenly releasing a much better product next month." Well you are right about that, so Mikrotik better start to figure out what direction they want to go soon, weather it is WiFi6 or 6E. More and more big names are starting to move into the ...

You should be able to force the speed and the negotiation in the SFP interface settings. So a 1Gb fiber interface should be able to be set for 10/100Mb and the same for the 1Gb copper interface.

If I had the possibility and could afford a 2.5Gbps Internet connection then I would probably use a CRS305+RB4011 or CRS326+RB4011 The SFP+ port will interface with 2.5Gb connection directly through a copper or fiber module, so you do not need a switch between the wan and router for it to work. Tha...

I wish mikrotik does a 4011 variant: by removing the switch chips ( at least on or even both)

Yea, but at least you can put them in bridge mode and make the ports independent of each other. Also in 6.47.9, you can force the SFP+ to the interface mode you need to connect to.

I would have to agree with what was already said. I am planning on buying a RB4011, but I think MT missed on it. It should of had 10Gb copper ports instead of 1Gb ports. I also think they shot them self's in the foot with the WAP Ac upgrades knowing that they are going to release Router Os 7 with th...

I have clients who reproach me that his home router works better than what I installed on it. What argument could I give him for something like this when I sold him a RB4011 for 250$ and he has a router at home and shows me a 550Mbps wifi speedtest that he gave 70$ ??? Yea, they did miss on the swi...

There's the Proscend SFP module - https://shop.duxtel.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=488 They get a little hot and my tests show they don't perform quite as well as a Draytek Vigor 130 in bridge mode (and they're the same price). I use one at home but I only have a 25/5Mbps connec...

If you use a dumb switch, it will work in between a router and a cable modem, but it becomes added failure point and adds cost. I have doing more hunting and it does look like it will work if I force the negotiation mode to 2.5Gb fullduplex. Since my net work is 1Gb and I am using a Hex RB750 and a ...

I have 1Gb cable service and want to upgrade my RB750 to a RB4011 and want to use the SFP+ port with S+RJ10 SFP connected to the Arris S33 modem 2.5Gb port. But it seems that there is conflicting information that it may not work in auto negotiation mode . So to get it to work if the interface does n...

It's pretty cool that you get a static IPv6 setup like that. I have to rely on router advertisements from my ISP and they change my address and prefix every few days, which seems stupid to me but it's my reality. you don't need to accept router advertisements. your ISP shall also be assigning a /56...
