- 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.

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 :)
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!
Update....added a Metal AP....it joined CapsMan effortlessly, and it's a monster AP!
Hey thanks for this! I decided I am going to get a 4011, looks dope
Big fan of Mikrotik, great
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 :) :)
I am going to use this video for Liene to explain to my clients why I buy Mikrotik equipment
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
When will you add 802.11 k/v/r and WPA3 support to routerOS?
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
Crs125-24g-1s plus cap ac plus hap ac2 is my setup with capsman installed. Mikrotik never freezes, always up! How about NAS solutions?
I have RB4011 and for wifi cAP AC, could anyone help to configure CapMan
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
delicious. the routers are nice too.
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
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....
With indoor omnidirectional antennas, position and angle has little to no effect.
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.
So how is the coverage??
@@syarifairlangga4608 I didn't use it. I didn't realise it only supported passive PoE.
nice video
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!
Hi, since so far no one gave you an idea, im here to help you out a little bit. So you have extreme amount of wireless devices. In this case i would recommend the RB5009 as core router, doing routing, firewalling and act as DHCP server (+VLANS if needed). If you need Wifi 2 (Wave 2 introduced MU (multi-user) MIMO, for starters. That means it can service multiple client devices using multiple antennae.) //youll definetely need it // youll need to purchase the Hap Ac3 because of the hardware req. of the wave2 package (needs 256mb system memory). I would reccommend you to use your core router (RB5009) as CAPsMAN too and connect the HAp ac3 wireless interfaces to the server because if you expand your wireless (in case multipla aps needed) the management of your wireless network will be managed in a single place, on the RB5009 and dont have to mess around and configure every single ap one by one (learned this lesson by the way, i have 6 aps...)
I highly recommend connecting most of the devices via ethernet cable (AV receiver, TV, PCs, servers, raspberry pis) and only handheld devices and iot devices which have no ethernet interface over Wifi. Connect the HAP ac3 to the RB5009 using cables and never bridge two aps via Wireless, a lesson ive learned... And for a switch... i would reccommend the CRS326-24G-2S+RM and/or if you need POE output than the CRS328-24P-4S+RM
or little brother CRS112-8P-4S-IN.
My personal setup is :
Core Router : CCR2004-16G-2S+
Core Switches : 2xCRS326-24S+2Q+RM
PoE Switch : CRS328-24P-4S+RM
(running 8 security cameras outdoor, 8 indoors and 6 access points total
Wireless APs : 2xHAP ac3 and 2x Cap AC XL and 2x WAP ac
LTE/5G Failover : Chateau 5g + Poynting XPOL-2-5G 5G Antenna (Chateau is modded, added HGO-LTE-W external antenna to replace internal antennas)
Cables are Cat7 Shielded cables everywhere and for short 10Gbps SFP+ runs i use XS+DA0001 or XS+DA0003 (1m or 3m) for longer distances S+85DLC03D (max 300m distance) interface with OM3 LC-LC cables (25/50/100M lenghts). This setup is only for home usage (ofc i have 3x hp DL380p GEN8 servers running game, web, voip and other services/servers also my "hosting company" runs from my home servers too.
And this is my 2022 setup so far. Planned to swap my ISP Plan from 500/250 mbps to 1/1Gbps, but it will cost me a fortune :D hope i helped! :)
@@victorshane4134 Thank you very much for the useful information and insight. I'll definitely look into the gear you mentioned. My first move was to get managed switch and temporarly setup RPi4 as router. Now I'm planning wifi APs - so your info is worth to consider! Thank you!!
@@andrejsersen59 Rpi4 isnt really designed to be a router. Since you mentioned the rb5009 i would purchase one of that and use it as a router. Honestly i never tested rpi4 as a router but since they got only one network interface, its quite challenging to setup as router. USB NICs are exists but still they arent reliable because usb devices are stressing the cpu firstly
@@andrejsersen59 You can start with HAP Ac3, great device, much better than Pi. With your managed switch it will get you going for some time until/if you decide you need more power then you can go for 5009. But with 500Mbs ISP HAP Ac3 will be more than enough. It has wireguard and ZeroTier packages too, which were important for me. For it's price it's one of the best device of it's kind.
When Wi-Fi 6 and 6dbi antennae?
Liene is cool :)
Wifi 6e supporting?
It is all old hardware. Nothing new. 6E not possible.

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 👍
standard poe is 802.3af/at -- which the cAP AC supports. It will output same voltage as applied to it. If you're powering the cAP AC off your MikroTik that has POE OUTPUT, then it'll only be 24v passive.
Majority of MikroTik devices support both 24v passive or 802.3af [48v poe]
@@anthonya.1958 On the contrary, if you carefully read the MikroTik wiki you will see that it is at/af BUT will only work with MikroTik products or with an injector. I've invested no less than 6 hours trying to get it to work from other PoE outputting devices, I would be more than happy to hear that I'm wrong 😀 it would just mean more items in my shopping basket.
@@amateurwizard you are wrong :) I have many CAP units powered off Unifi switches
@@amateurwizard That is incorrect. Majority of MikroTik AP's can be powered via 24v passive OR 802.3af/at standard poe...
What PoE switch are you using? Have you even tried a MikroTik Cap AC and plugged it into your current PoE switch. I guarantee it'll work just fine.
Or if you have a MikroTik router that has POE output on one of the ports -- the CapAC will power up via 24v passive that is being output from said MikroTik router.
@@anthonya.1958 I have a Netgear prosafe the I tried to use to power a CRS-309 which didn't work en though both a rated for at/af. Looks like you guys got the stamp of approval from MikroTik themselves so the Cap AC or hopefully cAP AXE will be in my hands soon
My wife asks does she smile? I said no they are Latvian, they don't smile they drink ;) Thanks for the video guys.
In Northern Europe, we smile when we joke. This is a serious guide after all.
Does mikrotik have a device that's modem/router? I seriously need it
yes. please contact the mikrotik distributer near you
@@mikrotik please it will be better to tell me the name/model name of the kind of mikrotik device that does that which I need. So I can go to the market and search for it myself. there is a big open market here where all computer devices are sold and there are multiple distributors of a lot of networking products. It's better I know exactly what I'm looking for, by that way all these extortionist distributors will not have the chance to extort me. I'm in Nigeria, so it's basically the land of extortion. if any of these so-called distributors catch a scent that I don't know exactly the name of what I'm looking for, they will surely extort me.
Goooddd!!!
is there an option to get more than 300 mbits from 4011 via wifi ??
What do you mean?
@@mikrotik I have 4011, it works beautifully for me, but the wifi is max 300 mbit. ISP gives me 1gb, so I miss a lot, lan gives me 1gb

Hello everyone! I've been researching the RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN router, and it looks like a fantastic device. However, I have a suggestion that could make it even more appealing to potential users.
As I was going through the specifications, I noticed that the 10th port on the router is a PoE (Power over Ethernet) out port, which is great for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points. But what if all the Ethernet ports from port 6 to port 10 could also be PoE out ports?
Imagine the convenience and flexibility it would provide to users who have multiple PoE devices to connect and power. It would eliminate the need for additional PoE injectors or switches, simplifying the setup process and reducing clutter. This enhancement would make the RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN an even more attractive option for those with a PoE-dependent network.
Of course, I haven't had the chance to personally use the router yet, but I believe this addition would be highly beneficial. It would undoubtedly expand the router's functionality and meet the needs of a wider range of users.
I hope the team behind the RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN considers this suggestion for future iterations or updates. Keep up the excellent work!

Pretty women 😊.
ubiquiti just laugh with your videos. Where is 802.11ax for home? Where is mu-mimo? Where is at least ac wave2?
I'm just furious with your radio, you have been feeding us with promises for more than 5 years.
It's a shame, you'd better pay the developers the salary of this woman in a sweater, it might come out that sensible.
It's all there. I suggest to follow software releases and beta changelogs, if you so much wish to have the latest features.
@@mikrotik ok, please suggest to me Mikrotik that will be similar to Ubiquiti nano HD.
I've been your big fan for many years, but what you've done with the wifi on your devices cries out to heaven for vengeance. Briefly - mikrotik and wifi = problems, lack of stability. You had huge problems with the N standard, then AC. Until now, you have not solved the problem repeatedly reported by users for wifi in 2.4GHz, e.g. on phones etc. Yes, the RB4011 device is great, but only as a cable router. Why can't I get a bandwidth higher than 460Mbps where it is in peak and I always have about 120-200Mbps. By connecting, for example, TP-Link, I always achieve a stable 700-900Mbps. And finally - if the presentation of your products by a woman is to encourage You to buy them, it congratulates the idea, all the time I thought that if your products are so good, they will defend themselves, won't they?
