The official Mikrotik router thread

MikroTik hAP ac2 Dual-concurrent 5GHz Desktop Wi-Fi Router RBHAP-AC​

Looking at the "hap lite rb941-2nd" sitting on the shelf above my laptop screen.

Firstly, it does not have 5GHz Wi-Fi, and The Lord alone knows when it was last updated.

I am looking for a router to put behind my ZTE MC888 5G router as supplied by RAIN.

Now the reason I am eyeing it is, I need a router for my Fire TV stick, that will support VPN and ControlD so that I can access iPlayer, ITVHUB etc. at will, without fiddling.

Is there a similar MikroTik device, that has Wi-Fi 6, and Gigabit ethernet ports, and costs around R1500.00?

Been awhile since I played with MikroTik devices.

No problem, just more expensive than I was planning for, just wondering, whether to go for broke, and get this, or a bit cheaper.

Buy once, cry once. I say.

Tend to agree with you, but budget is a bit tight.

It will tide you over for a long time - future proofing i guess.

BBBUUUTTTT 9.5Gbps really needed, vs 3.5?

Exactly why I am wondering - tossing the figurative coin

Don't intend buying another for a long time.

Might not be an issue today - tomorrow, who knows.

Yeah, I hear you ... if you can swing for the extra bucks, go for it ... if not, I wouldn't be too upset. You'll still be future proof for quite some time in SA

Pay day, must just come for the "extra" then it is done.
