Review on MikroTik Dual-Concurrent Access Point: hAP ac Lite RB952Ui-5ac2nD-US by Aashit Akkineni ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

On the air in two bands at once. At 2.4 with a band of 20 MHz, the speed in the radio channel is up to 144 megabits. At 5GHz with a band of auto 20/40/80 in the radio channel, the speed is up to 150 megabits. The AC mode is not supported by my laptop, so the bandwidth cannot be fully realized. Coverage by 2.4 is slightly worse than that of 951Ui-2HnD, but this is a consequence of lower transmitter power (22dBm vs. 30dBm). At 5GHz, the coverage is very small. It penetrates normally through one load-bearing brick wall, but after two it is already rather weak. When building a bridge on two such routers in AC mode, it gives a speed in the radio channel of up to 433 megabits and a real throughput of up to 250 megabits through one wall.

Pros
  • Simultaneous dual band operation (2.4 and 5 GHz) mikrotik routerOS AC mode. Can be used as a repeater with frequency transfer, thanks to the presence of two radio modules.
Cons
  • Too little transmitter power. No MIMO in the 5 GHz band.
