Upgrading office network with MikroTik RB3011UiAS-RM

Mon Aug 27, 2018 9:47 pm

Hi, i need your smart advice. On my office i having MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN now. But today i faced with problem of bad quality of downloading pages both on PCs (connected via ethernet) and mobile phones ( via wi-fi ). When i saw this problem router AP had 40 STAs via wi-fi and 60 PCs connected via ethernet. After rebooting my main router MikroTik RB2011 this problem was closed. But i have such problem sometimes when the amount of devices which connected to LAN, is high.

At this moment, I decide to upgrade main router. I want to buy MikroTik RB3011UiAS-RM. I understood that it will be more powerful and allow me increase our office network without troubles. But i have the problem i dont know what device replace AP role which play Mikrotik 2011 now. I have Mikrotik hAP ac^2, but i dont sure that this router can withstand the load of 40 STAs or more. Which AP you can advice to me?

Hi,
Maybe a couple of WAP AC's would do the trick? Having said that as much as the guys on this forum may not like me mentioning it, something like a UBNT nanoHD would serve even better. I find MikroTik routers absolutely amazing for routers and switching but wireless I sometimes find lacking or lagging behind a little.
