Re: LHG LTE18 kit vs ATL LTE18 kit

Similar (well, identical) computer HW specs (CPU, memory etc.). Main difference is in the antennas - LHG uses a 2x2 Mimo configuration with antennas more tuned for higher frequencies, ATL apparently uses a 4x4 Mimo configuration and adds 2x2 Mimo antennas for the lower bands. I've deployed LHG(G) ro...

Re: Mikrotik ATL

Definitely nice specs, let's hope it's more ant-proof than previous products . I like it that the new cat18 modem added band 28 support.... just in time for 5G. ;-) TBH the LHGG antenna has some nice gain in the 3GHz+ part of the spectrum that 5G NR uses so I shall be testing it with Quectel's new 5...

Re: MikroTik hAP ax³ [C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD]

Now I just have to wait for a version with LTE or 5G, hopefully with a USB3 M.2 connector so I can use a Quectel 5G modem ;-)

They should sell "R" versions of these things (without modems).

Re: v7.6rc is released!

7.6rc1 broke my LTE on a LTAP Mini with Quectel EP06E modem. Interface wouldn't run even though it was enabled, and when I tried to disable it, it would enable itself back. Weird. If you're running a similar config avoid RC1.

How to disassemble (crack open) hAP ac3 (LTE kit or regular, I assume it's the same shell?)

Can anyone point me to a video or pictures or instructions on how to crack open the hAP ac3? (hopefully without mangling it)

My google-fu is failing me. :-(

Thanks in advance.

Re: LHGG LTE 6 board replacement?

I don't think you can get spare parts from Mikrotik. I've e-mailed them about replacement plastic parts and they don't sell those. They do sell some RouterBoards as standalone items but I've never seen antenna-equipped ones for sale.

Eeeww! Ants! (Modified LHGG LTE)

This week I had to replace a year-old Mikrotik LHGG deployed in a very rural area. It was a bit worse for wear after a year exposed to the elements but otherwise fine - though I still believe that front heatsink isn't the best solution for regional Australia. This is a LHGG I posted about last year,...

Re: Which RouterBoards/routers have USB3-compatible mPCIe slots? (If any)

RB5009UG has pads for two M.2 sockets on the motherboard, one of them USB. The sockets are not soldered, but this probably means that future RB500x models will include sockets and radios. Interesting but I'm not that confident in my soldering skills :-D I'm really looking among currently available ...

Which RouterBoards/routers have USB3-compatible mPCIe slots? (If any)

As stated in the title. I'm interested in trying 5G modules but I currently have RBM11Gs which are fine but I suspect limited by a USB 2.0 bus in their mPCIe slots. That's a theoretical 480mbps throughput limit even before accounting for the many other factors involved (processing etc.). I'm willing...

Thanks! Antenna gain isn't much of a problem, I'll be using a Poynting panel antenna. Big question is, can routerOS be programmed to switch between SIMs or modems after a set amount of traffic is passed, like a data cap for a SIM slot (or modem in the case of M33)?

Hi everyone, need some help replacing a LHGG router/modem in a rural location. LHGG has been upgraded with a Quectel EM12G for B28 compatibility.

Re: LtAP main board dimensions / mounting screw locations

Excellent, thank you. I'm assuming the connectors on the topside, bottom right & centre are for external wifi antennas or a 2x2 MIMO setup? Are those MMCX, TS9 or can anyone make out what type of connector is that?

Hi everyone. I'm planning on using a LtAP with my own LTE modem (Quectel EM12G) inside a Poyting ePoynt antenna enclosure. This takes routers and router boards of up to 185 x 145mm, so the entire LtAP doesn't fit inside, but its main board might, if I take the case apart. Mikrotik's website naturall...

Re: LHGG LTE: sim card not detected after modem upgrade with M.2->PCIe adapter

I know it's been a while but just as an update: the problem was mechanical in nature. The heat transfer pad on top of the modem was pressing the m.2 to pcie adapter's sim slot and causing a short. Replacing the original pad with a thinner one solved the issue.
