RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM as access point

Mon Sep 15, 2014 4:21 pm

I was looking around for anyone who had experience with the RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM, but, nothing to be found. So, figured I'd add some info I came across.

My intention was to build a dual-radio AP for my house. I am using an RB751, which works great, except on my mac equipment. Since Apple cripples 40mhz on the 2.4ghz band, my throughput on 2.4 was less than what my home's internet connection is capable of.

I went looking for a dual-radio AP that would give me 3 chain 802.11ac and still retain 2.4ghz since I still have a few things floating around in my house that use 2.4.

I decided to buy the RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM and add the R11e-2HPnD card.

I was worried that the heat sink of the R11e-2HPnD wouldn't fit in the case of the RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM, but, it fits beautifully. The only modification I had to do, was drill out the Aux0 and Aux1 holes in the top to allow for the 2 additional antennas.

It's probably overkill for what I use it for, but, my newest MBP supports 3 chains of 802.11ac, and I wanted to get the most I could out of it. So far, it works great. Typical speeds range from 400mb to 650mb to/from my LAN to my macbook pro, and I'm now able to take full advantage of my internet connection, and can access my NAS wireless with decent speeds.

Thanks for sharing. That looks pretty sweet. I'm actually thinking about picking up one of the RB922 boards with addon card for 3x3 AC and 2x2 2.4ghz support. And then throwing it in a StationBox InSpot enclosure.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm getting ready to install one of these for a client in a similar setup. What antennas did you use? They appear to be a higher gain than the Mikrotik AC Swivels I was considering.

Thanks

I'd love to build what you got there in your pictures. Current and fast RB with fancy new 5Ghz-802.11ac + some 2.4 Ghz for legacy devices, exactly what I was looking for. What antennas did you use?
Or to ask even lazier: Could you provide a list of all the components you have used?
