The hAP AX2 does have a 1GB of ram, the same as my 5009 but I thought they would have stuck a USB port on it for external containers. I was all set to get a hAP AX2 as well but not having a USB port is a major drawback.

Yeah AX3 is where it's @ I guess, if you can get your hands on one that is.
None the less it is still a great capable device and I'm not sure the 864cpu would handle pi-hole as well.

you did well to get an AX2, I haven't seen them on sale or in stock anywhere. It could replace my hAP lite but it is my favourite router.

I also noticed some of the WiFi tools are not available with the wave2 router I have.

Anybody using FQ_Codel on Mikrotik, I know it's less important the faster you go and that I should just apply it to the upstream but I guess it makes life easier when it comes to sharing the bandwidth. I am finding PCQ slightly slower but more even on the downloads, IE not getting heavy spikes. maybe it just needs fine-tuning not sure what to put in for 250M/25M example as follows via TBB tests. The FQ_Codel seems to Burst vs PCQ more smooth.
Also PCQ uses 20% cpu vs 30% FQ_Codel for the same tests.

Modem
Down 287500061 bps
Up 27500061 bps

QOS disabled 274.4Mbps Down 26.1Mbps Up

QOS Enabled below... QOS set Down 250M Up 25M



PCQ



FQ_Codel


Shout Out to @Steveocee for pointing out that WAN ether1, up is down and down is up....



Edit: I must stress that all these tests are over WiFi with repeatable results

Bought a mikrotik wireless wire the other day and have it up and running currently.


I have a concern, which is that the way its set up and where we sit in our external office, my wife's working position at her desk is in view of the master transmitter.

Is this any sort of health hazard? Moving desks around isn't really feasible, I may be able to rearrange the transmitter so she's not in view, but I just want to check whether I'm being mad worrying that a 60GHz signal may or may not be at all dangerous. The max power consumption of each unit is 5W.

Either way it is inevitable at some point while moving between house and home office we'll be in view of the transmitters, but I suppose being in view all day in sat working position is potentially an awful lot worse.

Just looking for someone to hopefully set my mind at ease.
 
If I need to power My Hap ax2 over PoE, what do I need to buy to supply power to it so I can mount it to the ceiling with just two cables. One from the Internet and another to my switch I don't have any PoE gear at all apart from the Hap ax2. Or is this not how it works, am I correct in thinking the PoE bit just relates to port 1.

I believe all you should need is: RBGPOE PoE injector, for Gigabit LAN products

Brilliant, I'll get one of those.
Thanks
 
Anybody trying 7.7 Stable.

*) wifiwave2 - added disable/enable commands to configuration profile sub-menus (CLI only);
*) wifiwave2 - added information of per-station throughput in the registration table;
*) wifiwave2 - added initial CAPsMAN support (only compatible with wifiwave2 interfaces) (CLI only);
*) wifiwave2 - added interworking/Hotspot 2.0 support (CLI only);
*) wifiwave2 - added more informative log messages on configuration profile changes;
