HowToWithLiene: Choosing the right MikroTik device

Last time we talked about the super helpful MikroTik Home app – the easiest way to set up your router. But before setting it up – you need to choose the right device for your home. It may seem difficult at first – hundreds of devices, endless features... But once again – it doesn’t have to be complicated. Liene will guide you through the process.

I recently upgraded from the RB2011 to the 4011, and added a cAP in the ceiling upstairs. I am loving CapsMan...Might even add another AP just for kicks!

With almost 40 degrees Celsius today in my country, I'm watching Liene wearing a sweater and I'm starting to sweat even more!
Great product line by the way :)

When will you add 802.11 k/v/r and WPA3 support to routerOS?

[AViStudioMoldova]

Hi! Nice video, but.... it's time already to produce a low-cost home router with 2 or 4 Eth + 1 SFP (1G with 100M module support) ports, 2.4/5Ghz, WiFi 6 technology, and WPA 3 support, external antennas and 1W radio power. By the way, you should be thinking about developing a GPON-solution

I just purchased 4011 for my office. Need to merge two WANs and do some user management. Product look n feel was great but Mikrotik should also put some resources on user interface. It gives me hard time to configure very trivial settings in router.

Liene : you are excellent, well done :) :)

[beyondearth]

Can we please have a device like the RB4011 but with Wifi 6 and WPA3? I'm not talking about the hAP ax^3. Thanks!

[harv]

Crs125-24g-1s plus cap ac plus hap ac2 is my setup with capsman installed. Mikrotik never freezes, always up! How about NAS solutions?

[robertjohnston]

Hey thanks for this! I decided I am going to get a 4011, looks dope

[RaymondSigar]

Im wondering how can i connect multiple AP some via wired some wireless? Not all area can connect via ethernet/poe. 3 storey house and each level only have 1 ethernet port and difficult to install additional wiring to additional AP on the same floor. Pls advise if Audience can communicate effectively wireless with other AP

[charlesdean]

she looks like cool tech mom :) props to mikrotik

[garydinsdale]

I've ordered my ac3 which is due to arrive tomorrow. It was the only wireless router that came with PoE out, which I need for a doorbell. It's going to replace a Netgear if the coverage can be matched. Fingers crossed.

i like mikrotik but the gui from the processing surface caused me more pain than it should and then i still lack wifi 6 and wpa 3 support if that doesn't come slowly i have to go to the competition unfortunately

[putudipayana]

hAP ac³ how many wifi user it can support ? let's say 3Mbps / device with 200Mbps ISP bandwidth, no advance firewall, mangle etc. running hotspot. looking for solution for cafe/restaurant

[ebelotto]

Hi..thanks for the presentations. One question that I never saw nobody answer is....what is the better positions for the antenas and why? 2, 4 with a 90 degrees and 5Gh with the sane angle....

My wife asks does she smile? I said no they are Latvian, they don't smile they drink ;) Thanks for the video guys.

[andrejsersen]

Great video! Thanks! I have a question about your range of products for home lab users. My setup is as flows:
- Modem: ISP with 150 Mbps
- router: xiaomi redmi ax6 + unmanaged switch
- proxmox hypervisor (3 VMs running: Home Assistant, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud own instance)
- 2 Raspberry Pi's (media streaming + mqtt server for smart home) - wired connection
- smart home (51 devices on wifi and 8 zigbee devices, Zigbee Hub is WiFi)
- 3 laptops (mostly on wifi 5GHz)
- 3 smart phones
- TV (streaming and media server for video and music)
- smart home is growing (about 20 devices are more to come in our home).

Current router is not capable for hnadling such traffic over home network, wifi is unstable and keeps crashing, so new infrastructure is needed (at least one cAP is needed)

Which your product do you recommend? RB4011, RB5009? Which cAP?

Thanks!

[alokidea]

I have RB4011 and for wifi cAP AC, could anyone help to configure CapMan

[neikomladenov]

netPower 16P in router mode; 15cAp AC ( capstan; poe ); server 2 x 10SFP+ with dac cable sfp+

[amateurwizard]

I would like to ask that MikroTik products are made compatible with standard PoE. Having a PoE switch and still needing injectors is a pain. I would probably have bought another 2 cAP AC's if this were the case. Just a thought 👍
