Review on Wi-Fi router MikroTik hAP ac2, black by Czesawa Agnieszka Ta ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

This router is less powerful and a little more hemorrhoidal in terms of the settings than the MikroTik RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT, which is installed in my countryside, which I didn't set up at all, only changed passwords and network names, and which from the second floor finishes up to the gazebo as much as 5Ghz, located 80 meters from the house. This router is also located further away from the house. In an apartment that is 100 meters long and has thick floors made of wood throughout the rooms, a 2.4Ghz signal can reach the third remote room from the farthest room for the purpose of working on a laptop with the following conditional characteristics, provided that the laptop is moved closer to the wall, which is closer to the router: It gives out 27-32 units for downloading on Speedtest, but at the same 2.4Ghz, when you move the laptop closer to the router in the same room where it stands, it gives out 50-66 units for downloading on Speedtest. This is a comparison. The 5 GHz signal does not travel to the third room, and its coverage is spotty throughout the rest of the flat, with the notable exception of the room in which the router is physically installed. As there was no time for digging, I had to pay the specialist $1,500 to remotely configure the router on my behalf because I was unable to immediately come to terms with the router's settings. I can provide you his contact information. Following that, some guidance from a novice. Download the software called "winbox64," which is the interface via which everything is configured. Click "Quick Set" in the interface, and then select "Home AP Dual" from the drop-down menu that appears. Click the Check For ate button (located in the bottom right of the screen). Change the names of the networks that are 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz in the section labeled Network Name. Create a password in the WiFi Password setting (on the screen on the left in the middle). Set your password in the Password section; this will be the password needed to access the router's menu (bottom right on the screen). Choose the country code 20224; once the ate has been performed at this frequency, the authorized signal will be stronger than it was before the ate was performed at the frequency 20223. (finer signal strength settings are for the pros). If the IP address changes frequently, pick Automatic (circled in blue on the screen at the top right). Ask the service provider for the MAC Address if the IP is static, then make sure to pick the Static option and enter the values you were given into the MAC Address. Choose values in Netmask that both begin and end with "(/24)" in two different places. Simply hit the Apply button.

Pros
  • Excellent for the price.
Cons
  • The assembly is not particularly simple.
