Review on πŸ“‘ MikroTik SXTsq Lite5 16dBi Dual Chain 5GHz Integrated CPE/Backbone (RBSXTsq5nD-US) by Anson Keith ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

Level 3 - the license is used in equipment designed to build point-to-point Wi-Fi connections and as wireless clients. A device with RouterOS Level 3 cannot work as a Wi-Fi access point to which wireless clients will connect. To organize a Wi-Fi access point, MikroTik equipment with a Level 4 license and above is intended. You can upgrade the license level from Level 3 to Level 4, but keep in mind that devices with RouterOS Level 4 are originally designed to organize Wi-Fi base stations and have better hardware and performance. Official description: SXTsq Lite5 SXTsq Lite5 24V 0.38A power adapter Metal ring PoE injector SXTsq Lite5 The SXTsq Lite5 is a compact and lightweight outdoor wireless device with an integrated antenna. Perfect for point-to-point links of up to 12 kilometers or as a CPE unit. It is compact, weatherproof and easy to mount. The SXTsq Lite5 retains a 16 dBi antenna like the SXT Lite5, our previous model, yet the antenna design has been improved and the physical size has been dramatically reduced - the SXTsq is two times thinner.

Pros
  • Works great as a wired client.
Cons
  • Cannot work as an access point. In fact, this is half the bridge. The description needs to be corrected. because the description from MikroTik does not contain the words "Access Point" - "Access Point"
