Dual band gigabit AP

Tue Nov 10, 2015 10:35 pm

Hi,

I'm looking to build a couple of access points for indoor and one for outdoor (doesn't have to be full waterproof because it will be below the roof).

Like to have:
1 Gigabit port
5ghz wireless
2,4ghz wireless
Poe

I wan't to stay with mikrotik and use capsman. What do you recommend?

Tnx.

I didn't know that was coming. :) This will be perfect if the price would be ok. It would also be great if there would be an option to choose enclosure like the one from cAP 2n.

Basebox 2 will be ok, and i can add pci 5ghz if it would be necessary like you said. Now i got all covered.

Tnx guys.

Definitely. But remember that coverage depends on the Client as well as the AP. If the client is a smartphone, no matter what device will be the AP, the distance limit will be around 100m
