cAP Lite - RBcAPL-2nD

I bought 3 of these to use with a Mikrotik RB750Gr3 router. I setup CAPsMAN on the router to manage them. There's a bit of a learning curve with this brand due to the immense amount of configuration options, but the value for the cost is unbeatable in my opinion. I found a CAPsMAN tutorial on youtube by "Winflare" that helped a lot. These cAP Lite units come with a default static address that must be deleted and replaced with DHCP for them to work with CAPsMAN, but so far they seem pretty stable and fast enough for my needs. My cable ISP gives me about 40-50 MBPS download and these keep up with that. I had no DOA units out of the 3 I bought. I like the low cost, compact size and lack of bright LED's after you get the cover on. I'm still not sure how much range they have but due to the fact that the antennas are circuit board traces, these probably don't have much range outside the home.

un pco dificil instalar

This access point works well. It does have a learning curve if you are new to Mikro Tik and Router OS but setting this up is not too hard. So far, signal and speed has been great for the last week when connected to it.

The device looks great and is much smaller than our smoke detectors. Installation on the ceiling was a bit tricky since the ethernet cable has to be bent quite a bit to be inserted while passing it through the little guide hole but once its in, the cable doesn't stay too bent. Capsman was a bit tricky to setup, but after a lot of trial and error I finally got it working. Network throughput was always bad but I found that updating the routeros version on both the rb1100ah and rbcapl-2nd revealed a "rates" section. Fiddling with that increased the speed slightly but I've had trouble getting over 15Mbps while running a local "speed test" running on my local network. For reference, wired computers were getting over 600mbps. A separate test with the cheap edimax 150n ap (also 2.4ghz) was getting me 30-60mbps. The range on these is also quite bad. I bought 2 and put one in the narrow hallway between 3 bedrooms and another in the dining room near living room and kitchen so the distance is never more than 30 feet and there is never more than 1 wall/door between device and ap and I frequently have connection issues. I haven't configured these as standalone yet and I also have them both on the same ESSID but on different channels. One of my neighbor's WiFi must be set on really high power as scanners show it gives off a much stronger signal than the rbcapl-2nd just a few feet away. Other nearby WiFi's create more traffic on pretty much all channels 1-11 but I've also tested speed at odd hours (3am for example) with little difference. Perhaps a better selection of rates/mcs values will help but I have no idea what that all really means.

I bought a couple to test in our lab. Easy configuration and works as advertised. The range and throughput is limited.

Exelente producto

I am a big fan of mikrotik overall but this product is not ready yet to be in the market. I bought many of them, the majorities of them dont bootup, if they bootup they wont be stable and the throughput is very low.

Very nifty compact piece of equipment but I could not make adjustments to increase the data transmission rate

Ich benutze mikrotik Geräte seit Jahren aufgrund deren vielfältigkeit. Dieser "kleine" aber feine accespoint hat eine super Reichweite und lässt sich über den CapsMan problemlos managen. Achtung: Mikrotik Geräte sind nur für User, die sich in punkto Netzwerktechnik gut auskennen

Ya había comprado antes productos mikrotik, routers y Ap de exterior y siempre el resultado ha sido muy bueno. Software excelente y hardware que responde. Tenía dudas de si incluia Poe y adaptador d corriente por comentarios pero si que los lleva. Se echa en falta una guía rápida por sino se sabe configurar pero por lo demás es un mikrotik. No es doble banda ni wifi ac ni ax pero por el precio que tiene no se le puede pedir más.

Poor coverage and even when signal is reasonable have issues with connections dropping. Unfortunately missed the return window.

Rispetto agli altri funziona molto meglio buono anche il prezzo
