MikroTik might release an access point with an 802.11ax capable chipset, but MikroTik currently doesn´t have software feature that make it 802.11ax or even WiFi6, i.e. there´s no support for
1. OFDMA
2. UL MU-MIMO
3. DL MU-MIMO

I sure hope so! MIkroTIk WIFI6 would be amazing!

It's mainly about software. And the software we all have outdated (from Mikrotik)
V7 - no changes yet.
We are waiting for the spectral scan from 2014, and others ...

Still waiting....

2Jarek,
Which cambium with which Mikrotik?

Now use Cambium 802.11ac vave2 mu-mimo basestations & use cambium software for old 802.11N mikrotik devices. Trust me old mikrotik stuff work much much better with cambium software.

The RB4011 successor should have ax.

The RB4011 successor should have ax.

Definitely, and at least 2 sfp+ or 2x 10gbe

Im sure the isp's that deliver 10gbit to the house are going to be interested.
I'm using [redacted] and their hand off is an sfp+ which i plugged in to a crs305...

Still waiting....

Mikrotik can route... But she it comes to wifi... It's an "also ran".

As in these day's is difficult to sell router without wifi support, so I guess, that Mikrotik added wifi support as kind of for the name only and it's there as it is and that's it.

Unless Normis & Co, hire bpwl to start writing legible documentation and more importantly help the coders apply a logical approach to 'Tuning' existing wifi and future wifi, and assist in the move to other newer wifi generations, the MT wifi product line will continue to frustrate most users. We dont need to eke the last 10mbps out of wifi, we need to get to 90% easily and have it be stable.
I am more and more convinced that MT only puts extra effort into the enterprise wisp performance/equipment, to the detriment of all 'home' wifi.

I think beamforming (the explicit/standard 802.11ac one) is more important than MU-MIMO because it focuses the signal to clients and thus they can negotiate better data rates with the AP. Although MU-MIMO can help on a four chain radio (like the RB4011 or the Audience) with several devices using the connection constantly.

I am thinking to change my WiFi interference and better coverage. But of course I need WiFi 6 devices as well to take advantage of that.

They just don't keep up and the way they "give up" in noisy environments, doesn't get the job done.

Software is already cooking for WiFi6. You can see that in wifiwave2 package.

The big networking device vendors will release thei WiFi 6E access points in Q3/Q4 2021. So, it would be a chance for MIkroTik to go develop straight 802.11ax access points with 6 GHz support, aswell.

We're only 7 months away from Q3, and that's not much time to make new 6E APs if you're not some megacorp funded by scam cloud services.

Why does it have to take 2 years? We don't need Mikrotik's NV2\3\4 anymore, OFDMA can solve hidden node problem, isn't it? We only need cheap firmware and Mikrotik's ROS, to use it as a standart 802.11AX.
correct me, if im not right.

Currently many MikroTik WiFi devices include IPQ4018 or IPQ4019 chipset. The next generation will probably use IPQ60xx chipset. So when everybody else sells WiFi6E in 2022, MikroTik starts with WiFi6.

Mikrotik drags a lot farther behind than that. What are we at... 6 years on incomplete wifi 5?

with RouterOS 7, MikroTik uses binary drivers from the chipset´s vendor, no more selfmade 802.11 code

For those who are complaining [...]

Yes, we are talking about those guys who purchased access points and routers with a current IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 IPQ40xx chipset only few years ago, but with 16MB of ROM and/or 128MB of RAM which currently will not receive that lucky new MikroTik "WifiWave2 " driver package with chipset´s binary firmware.

So those complaining that they will not get wifiwave2 because of their device not being capable of it in some way, should buy for example linksys velop which can be very pricey anyway.
They are just like MikroTik adding more features all the time- ON SUBSCRIPTION BASIS!
Like seriously, paying 4$ a month for new revolutionary feature for being able to do dns filtering- feature called child safety!!! Total rip off! And in general velop is complete shit unless you are total noob who just connects the device and uses defaults and if you wish to do anything else than change you wifi name, you need to pay subscription. But if above will not scare you away then regular connection drops surely will. You should try yourself, pure joy. I was battling with it for a year, by restarting it, as there was nothing available to change in settings at all.
I had two velops and I replaced them with single audience.
But this is linksys’ business model. They might be selling you hardware which is more capable than needed at the point of purchase- not charging you extra for this at the point of sale (just assumption, but they are pricy anyway), but rather charge you monthly later should you wish to use it.
How is that any better than MikroTik?

So basically sell your devices on eBay while it still has some value and buy different one. Like Linksys Velop :). Or MikroTik again.

For those who are complaining about wifi6 etc, I would encourage you watch few REAL reviews (not sponsored) of some "relatively cheap" wifi 6 routers from big brands (including Ubiquiti) for same price range as MikroTik (~$150) and then run similar benchmarks using MikroTik Audience/RB4011 using wifiwave2 impl with wifi 5 and you will see that wifi 6 is not that big thing really and in fact Unifi 6 especially is doing poor job in my opinion (I would not use it, even if cheaper in fact). Also those who complain about MikroTik, I would encourage to read some other forums like Ubiquiti and you will see they are not really so good and many users are suffering really slow performance, for which they have not found the fix yet.

Regarding my tests, I am getting sustained 570Mbit (max 638Mbit recorded) with iperf3 on 2 chain MBP Pro with M1, sitting 2 rooms away from Audience- two walls away, doors shut!
Also tested running full load using iPhone and MBP pro simultaneously, which resulted in total transfer bandwidth of about ~560MBit, so no "capacity" issue for such a home user as I am. I have 7 devices on 5GHz network. Rest is 2.4Ghz (approx 25 devices) or wired (approx 10 devices).
To be clear I am not talking about phy speed, talking about real data transfers measured with iperf.

I know you will say wifi6 is about capacity now, but reality is that most of devices in "crowd" are on 2.4 bands (almost all IoT) while 5/6ghz are only devices like laptops and mobiles, which you have few at home and it is doubtful you are using them all the same time.
Also if anybody is real about gaming/work/movies/audio and using PCs/Xbox/SonyPS/TVs/Streamers they must be using wired connections (for example 10gb switches) and forget about using wifi/power plugs for it.
Simply wifi is for mobile and IoT devices.
Also to be clear, Audience/RB4011 are not commercial wifi devices, from my perspective they are home/very small office (<10 people). Although Audience has more chains than rb4011 so in theory can handle more clients but has less cpu power. Not my worry anyway as capacity is not my problem.
Anybody using office deployments, would probably look for something with more chains/capacity and surely not "cheap" wifi 6 routers.
For me, I do not need anything more than I have now, even having most mobile devices 6Ghz compatible.
Once they will start making 5/6GHz IoT, then it might be a problem indeed, but now and next year or so, no.
It will not happen soon really as higher frequencies has lower walls penetration potential therefore might not be suitable for home robots/appliances/cameras etc.
So absolutely no point for MikroTik to rush with wifi 6, might be better to deliver 6e and skip 6 as it is not worth from my perspective.

Also well done MikroTik on wifiwave2- comes bit late indeed when compared to other producers but it is awesome!

My config:
Audience with 7.1b4 firmware.
Using wifiwave2- wifi3 (QCA9984 chip) with 4 chains.
Channel width: 20/40/80+80.

There are stable and dependable wifi5 Access points just as cheap as the capac (TPLINK EAP245) that runs circles around it.

This hinges on Wave 2 features actually mattering. My case for a cAP ac is to provide about 500 mbps to a single line of sight device, but I'd have multiple cAPs for multiple devices, obviously spaced far enough to not interfere with each other. Wave 2 would just make it better with multiple devices per AP, which isn't the case with my setup.

Hi Cablenut, I have on house member studying at medschool mostly virtually
a. capac - nothing but issues, especially streaming, not stable, off and on (no amount of troubleshooting made an iota of difference)
b. TPlink eap245, not a single burp even.

So for critical connectivity dont agree.

Sorry nannou you dont know shit.
There are stable and dependable wifi5 Access points just as cheap as the capac (TPLINK EAP245) that runs circles around it.
In other words, while MT is perfecting WIFI5, that many have done for a number of years with no extra cost or requirement for services.
By the way as noted that perfection entails making obsolete all the capacs, hapac, hapac2s etc sold in the past and still being sold, because they wont be improved to meet a spec that was met by other vendors probably 5 if not more years ago.

There are many folks here that spends $1000s and $10,000s on equipment and to them its not a laughing matter.

No single vendor will pull out all hardware from sale just because they started working on something new, incompatible.

And when I do go IPv6, I am convinced that will only be as far as my public IP and the rest of my internal lan will still be IPv4 based so not to worried.

So those complaining that they will not get wifiwave2 because of their device not being capable of it in some way, should buy for example linksys velop which can be very pricey anyway.

Hello,
You will not be able to create a virtual wlan interface as it is supported with license lvl4, but the Disc lite 5 comes with lvl3. You will need to upgrade your license if you want to implement those features:

I can find cheapo 802.11n-only 150mbit routers for $20 USD, so there will always be a market for these older, less desirable things.

WHere are the 60hz smartphones

Well, talking about that... my friend was testing 5G at his place and came up with some ridiculous number over 600Mbit download... If that really works all around, wifi will be irrelevant in the next decade.

But with Mikrotik, you just really don't know what will happen tomorrow. You may buy competitor's APs and rebuild your infrastructure, only to find Mikrotik released much better product next month... or you may be waiting for it for next two years, which seems to be sadly far more likely...

This is why the hAP ac3 is a tough sell, because I'd prefer a 802.11ax version, but considering how soon it was released and how soon it will actually be in stock, it might be months or a year before anything newer comes around.

I sure hope so! MIkroTIk WIFI6 would be amazing!

Before I buy any new mikrotik radio I would like to see:
1)Stable ROS for 802.11AC wave 1 (randomly reboot if firewall & WMM use pure 802.11 ofc).
2)Mu-mimo for mikrotik 802.11AC wave 2 ARM devices 3 years & still can't use this hardware full potential.
3)Maybe real TDMA protocol like cambium or not..... its impossible for mikrotik. Just fix old hardware nothing more than basic functions.

Now use Cambium 802.11ac vave2 mu-mimo basestations & use cambium software for old 802.11N mikrotik devices. Trust me old mikrotik stuff work much much better with cambium software.

No there is not a lot of worry about Mikrotik "suddenly releasing a much better product next month."

When 6E products are available and shipping, I plan/hope to add around 1-hundred Wi-Fi 6E APs to my towers which will co-exist next to our existing hundred-plus 5-GHz APs.

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.

For a wISP, WiFi6 is the largest single improvement *ever* in wireless performance on single streams, then stacking 4x4 and 8x8 radio options with 2 way MU-MIMO.....
Now stack on an extra Ghz in WiFi6E.

Would love to see mikrotik lead the charge on this.

Time to wake up. To use wifi6 8x8, 12x12 outside, you will need a special antenna array. Which you will absolutely never see with a manufacturer like mikrotik.

What did they answer to you, when did you write to them?

any news here as ROS 7 RC releases come much more often, than beta releases

Seems that the WiFi is godforsaken.

No 802.11ax , no wifi 6E.

Ok, message undestood, Mikrotik. You have leave us.

@mikrotik
PLEASE give us any future prospects!!

I do not want to see mikrotik getting thrown out of the installations!

the Netgear WiFi 6E is currently dominating the home-residential WiFi 6E market. We have found the Netgear Orbi WiFi 6E product is the fastest of the fastest of the fastest for home wireless Mesh products available anywhere. Currently if you have a large home where no single wireless AP can cover the entire home, then the Orbi is the only fast working solution.

What I have noticed of the course of 2021 and people flexing hard about getting 802.11ax APs for their network. When you ask them about the devices on their network and **their 802.11ax support** turns out most of the wifi devices don't even have the support. So right now putting 802.11ax in a location really hasn't been a high priority of my customers because the majority of their laptops or other wifi devices don't support it. They don't see the benefit of replacing all their 802.11ac access points for less than 5% device support.

So having a 100% 802.11ax supported network is great so as long as it actually can be used by devices that support it. Otherwise you just replace a bunch of 802.11ac devices for the sake of saying "I gots wifi6"

Looking at the tea leaves, my guess is that MT will provide their RoS in combo with wifi6 or at least announce products by the end of the year,,,,,,,, which is not unreasonable considering supply chains etc.......
They seem to be very calculating in what they do and chasing technology is a very expensive proposition and MT is not about risk taking to that degree.

Their focus was on improving existing wifi5 products available, perhaps the wrong strategy, who knows, instead of focusing efforts on wifi6. Their call, but IMHO misguided.
Hopefully now they can switch gears...........

I am no fanboy, but Audience may fit best out of all MT APs. It may even receive wave2 somewhen in the far future.

I would not give up my tplink eap245 AP for an audience, tested yesterday, 619/499 up on my iphone test to the internet through ookla.
Does vlans, stable etc. Yes I miss the flexibility of RoS, but do I really need it for an AP, not really.

I just bought the mother-in-law a TPlink archer ax55 wifi router, no vlans, but she has a flat subnet, so she gets rocking wifi performance (+wpa3 whatever that is) and for not much more than $100 bucks, on sale.

2016 is only 6 years back. Never change a running wifi. Somewhat

In the list of supported devices, I see lots of LTE modems USB but no wifi6 or 7 USB devices supported.

I'm confused as to why there isn't a mikrotik supported AX chipset coming down the line. It should allow us to utilize higher QAM rates and cram more data thru the same frequency space right?

Re: 6E ( Wi-Fi 6E ( 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz )

The ISP/WISP I work for is federally recognized as tribal sovereign nation. We have a huge need for a reliable and fast communication system ( including Internet ). Our 5-GHz WISP system was nearly saturated a year ago. When the Covid-19 pandemic started in early 2020, we experienced a huge increase in customer bandwidth demands ( on-line education, health care ... ).

There are only two technology methods to add additional bandwidth to our clients here inside the reservation we serve:

Until 6E products are available and shipping, we will continue installing fiber-to-the-home as fast as we can.

• Extending the backbone with either fiber or wireless radios (including from other vendors) … e.g. ‘mini-towers’
• Setting up a mesh (either real or pseudo) by installing another directional/sector antenna at some of the homes, or linking some homes together in a (redundant) chain arraignment
• Otherwise managing spectrum based on time / usage / QoS / polarization

A wireless router ( Mikrotik ? ) 6e full-power or any power would help most customers with in-home wireless routers ( especially multiple wireless routers in a large home ).

So with "2ghz-ax" and "5ghz-ax" we can guess that something is coming, lets hope that this something comes soon

From and OEM perspective 6E is where all the action is ... From a consumer perspective - in Asia, and Canada/USA 6E is flying off the shelves but supply is very limited so prices remain high -- Netgear Orbi 960 Series leads the 6E parade by a country mile ....

It looks like Mikrotik is really preparing for ax.

Your remark is really interesting. I hope we see some of that soon in action

Any update?
Still waiting for the devices WiFi6 from Mikrotik.
i bought other brand WiFi6 for Mesh but there are bugs.

Hope Mikrotik release WIFI6 soon.

i think wifi6 will be a rough travel on any vendor and client devices in general because of OFDM-A and other new Features, there is a lot of opportunity for problems to arise

if we add to this the interoperability with wifi5 and wifi4 devices which in many scenarios will be the majority of client devices base, we can see that deployment of wifi6 even if it starts today it will take years to take full advantage of their improvements

i think wifi6 improvements will be much more effective in wifi6E deployments where there is no need for interoperability with legacy devices, but wifi 6E adoption in client devices will be limited to high end for a while and it will take several years to be mainstream (in the countries which approved spectrum for this)

so the only thing that is mainstream is HYPE so let's fuel it up:

Well agreed, MT should be working on 6E and 7 and bypass 6 entirely to get back into the game. By the time they have initial 6, everyone will already have 6 at home with mature software looking at 6E and 7 with mouth watering ...................

WiFi 6 get's them >90% of 6E, 6E *is* WiFi 6, just operating in 6Ghz and using the upcoming AFC services. WiFi7 will be bound by those same AFC rules for outdoor. There's still lots of life left in 5Ghz with OFDMA, it's a new lease on life for it.

WiFi7 is minor improvements over WiFi6/E at modulation and RU scheduling, but it's main improvement is multi-channel support. ie, running a 'single' connection across multiple bands and radios and aggregating that into a layer2 link. ultimate channel bonding. I don't want to downplay WiFi7, AP coordination, more MUMIMO streams, better retransition model, each of these and more are little 5% improvements that will add up too.....

Some people think that a bidet is cool...........
But really all people want is a stable reasonable throughput wifi........ that wifi6 actually offers.

Some really smart people seem all too willing to drink out of the bidet.

IMO , I think we are loosing potential sales of customer in-home wireless routers because Mikrotik does not have any WiFi 6E devices.

Here is an example where the ORBI WiFi 6E shines.
- A customer or business ( or you ) has a large area or home to cover with WiFi.
- No single WiFi AP can cover the entire area and deliver high speed to everybody at the same time
- Multiple APs are needed ( qty 3 WiFi APs may be needed to cover the entire area and you want/need Ceee ( 80 Mhz wide channel widths ).
- For three APs you will need three 80 MHZ wide channels for APs and an additional 80 MHz wide channel for a WDS link ( there is no ethernet in the building ).
- For four wireless networks , you need/want four non-overlapping 80 MHz channels. Whoops --- There is not enough 5 GHz spectrum to support four non-overlapping Ceee 80 MHz wide channels !!!
- With WiFi 6E , you have the additional 6 GHz spectrum and part of the lower portion of 7 GHz. So now you can easily configure four 80-MHz non-overlapping channels. ( or more ... ).
- With WiFi 6E , everybody in a large home runs much much faster than you can possibly achieve using Mikrotik 5-GHz devices.

The difference in speed between WiFi 6E and legacy WiFi 5 GHz APs is similar to the difference in speed between 2.4 GHz and legacy 5 GHz APs.

The Netgear Orbi WiFi 6E mesh system totally rocks in large areas where multiple APs are needed

I am beginning to wonder why Mikrotik has ignored WiFi 6E and continues with legacy 5 GHz only products ???
*** Heck , even my cell phones support WiFi 6E wireless connection ... but not to any Mikrotik products at this time.

I have been waiting for Mikrotik to come out with WiFi 6E products for years now ... still nothing, so until Mikrotik does, I am forced look at non-Mikrotik products where WiFi 6E is needed.

Wi-Fi 6E operates in the legacy 5 GHz spectrum and also operates in the 6 GHz band from 5.925 to 7.125 GHz. The Wi-Fi Alliance has allocated 1200 MHz of spectrum from 5.925 to 7.125 GHz
