I currently have a NanoStation.

Would like to upgrade to AC so that all the laptops can be optimal.

Will this idea work:

DSL -> Gigabit Zyxel Modem -> Gigabit Lan -> https://scoop.co.za/mikrotik-groove52aac-500mw-2-5ghz-ap-omni.html -> Wifi AC

Bump

How's it currently connected?

 

[Thor]

Don't have it, want to know if that device will work

I have no experience with these.

Posting here to follow your experience.

How is you current network connected.

 

[Grasmuis]

Do you have an antenna to connect to the MikroTik Groove52Aac? The Groove is an AP that you need to connect an external antenna and designed to be used outside with grid/dish antenna.

Something like this for point to point links https://scoop.co.za/ubiquiti-5ghz-airmax-dish-30dbi-backhaul-ptp.html

Like that, but with a Nanostation in plaas van die mikrotik.

Not sure what that is in English?

 

[Grasmuis]

You can use this one inside as an AP

I'm only interested in the one on my OP.

You did not say you want to vervang the nanostation!

Any way, looks like it will werk

I do not want to vervang it.

You asked how my current set up is. SO i just illustrated it's like the above, but replace the mikrotik with the nanastation in that sentance.


============

My setup will look like this:

DSL -> Zyxel Modem -> one Lan cable to nanostation for guests | One lan cable to Mikrotik for Private WIFI

Does the AP have to be outside?

If you used something like the Ubiquiti Unifi AC, then you get controller software with it that allows you to setup profiles on one device. So your guests connect to a profile that you limit/control as you see fit, and you connect on a full profile.

You can definitely do that. But I just like to have physical separation I have a tenda extender that runs my guests and the nano internal useage.

What I want to do now is Nanostation becomes guest so they have lekker good signal strength as the Nanostation is powerful.

And then I add the mikrotik that specific one and then I can enjoy overpowering wifi signal in the bathroom
