Re: hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

I can try. I like the hAP ax2 more than ax3, because of the design and size. I use it at home. I get 750-800Mbit over WiFi to my Macbook. All true. Any information on hwoffload vlan filtering for hap ax2 and ax3? Is it planned or are there showstoppers making it difficult/impossible? I'll be honest...

Re: hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

What I don't really understand is why Mikrotik would have/is having more problems with their newer wifi products as for these they're just using an off the shelf chip (Qualcomm ipq 6010 in this case) together with the vendors proprietary driver blob (as in the wifiwave2 package, so no more self writ...

Re: hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

Could you elaborate on the problems you had? Speed, stability, ... What are other good vendors from consumer/prosumer devices that provide lengthy support for their products? So, before OP (or anyone else) here thinks that I don't like Mikrotik, I really love Mikrotik products and I have many of th...

Re: hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

I have probably over a dozen AX3's installed in customer homes by now, with 2-3x that for AC3 and hundreds of AC2. What you're seeing posted here comes from a lot of tinkerers trying to do everything they can on an AX3, certainly not combinations MikroTik has test cases for. I have received zero co...

Re: hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

...

At the end: your money, your choice.
True but the product landscape seems... difficult. I get the impression that with each new wifi standard getting more complex, more and more interoperability issues will crop up in the future between different vendors.

Re: hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

My honest advice, if you have RB5009 leave it as is because it's a great router and buy AP from another vendor. I had really crappy experience with Mikrotik wireless on new ax devices and wifiwave2 drivers. (Old cap ac was far more stable device in my opinion) Could you elaborate on the problems yo...

hAP ax3 preventing buyers remorse

I'm looking for a new ap to replace my current one (Linksys wap54g, don't laugh it works, seriously stop laughing). I got into the Mikrotik world via a gifted hex poe after my opnsense router hardware broke down. The hex poe has served my needs quite well until recently when I replaced it with a rb5...

Re: Use Mikrotik hAP AC3 as combined AP/switch

Hmmm, I was looking into going with Mikrotik again after a good experience using a HEX PoE as home internet router but in this case there are too many unknowns for my taste coupled with the not too stellar consumer wifi performance of Mikrotik it seems. I'm going to go with a standalone switch and a...

Re: Use Mikrotik hAP AC3 as combined AP/switch

1. use a non-VLAN-aware bridge (so no setting pvid= or adding anything under /interface bridge vlan ) 2. configure the switch chip https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Switch+Chip+Features#SwitchChipFeatures-SetupExamples I already have such a VLAN config running on a Mikrotik HEX PoE, using ...

Re: Use Mikrotik hAP AC3 as combined AP/switch

No one using the Mikrotik hAP AC3 this way or have any experience to add? Going from the numerous complaints regarding Mikrotik and wifi on this forum and elsewhere I'm now starting to wonder if this is even something I'd like to undertake and maybe I'd be better off getting a separate VLAN capable ...

Use Mikrotik hAP AC3 as combined AP/switch

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to configure a Mikrotik hAP AC3 as follows: Use ROS 7 with newer wave2 wifi package and thus features. Configure eth1 as a VLAN trunk to an upstream switch. Configure eth2-5 as VLAN access ports bridged to one of the trunked upstream VLAN's. Configure multiple SS...
