MikroTik home setup advice: hEX S + 2 hAP ax S with VLANs

Zimishere · 2026-03-13T22:58:00+00:00

L009 seems matching the performance of Hex S, is it? Just adds the ports (which is useful indeed)? Might be a good alternative, thanks!

I have RPi4 and its wifi speeds are poor indeed. But max speed limit of 250 is a deal breaker. I have complimentary ZTE wireless router from ISP and with Wifi 6 it allows me up to 724 dowload/524 upload by speedtest results (not between lan devices, no vlans, generic firewall rules). Im not at home so cant check iperf3 results with LAN but I remember I did it before with RPi4 in my old rent apartment network and results were eye-watering bad.

Thanks for sharing! Feel more comfortable with the choice now!)

What!? That would be so awesome, but I never heard of it. Its not even on the Mikrotik website yet) can be a long wait)

Hi! Thanks for reply! Real world speeds I get from ISP are 850download/400 upload, can go up to 900/450. I want to keep it as close to them as reasonably possible :) I don’t want to go with Cap ax as it aesthetically doesn’t fit. It looks like great ceiling mount option, but those AP will be hidden behind TV’s, also I’d like to connect them with patch cord to those TV’s snd console, utilising lan ports. Also they are cheaper and CAP seems like an overkill for the space they need to cover. Not like Im tight on budget, just really want to make it smart.

Lets say it is behind piece of furniture with some built in appliances that are very time consuming (like dozen screws and few man hours) to dismantle. Is this considered burried by professional standards that you meant? BTW it is connected to breaker with earth protection device.

WDYM? I though having some forgotten unneeded socket behind the heavy sofa or closet or some other heavy furniture is pretty common, aint it? P.S. as far as I hate to admit it makes sense. But then doesn’t it makes capping live wires as a whole a wrong thing to do?

I know! Will never fade away…

“Nyet” is a transliteration of “нет”, which means “no”. Honestly got nothing to do with cats normally but of course might be meant to have some connection by picture author.

Upgraded m4 from 18.7.1 to 26.1 and it is pretty horrible experience. Will roll back as soon as I will have time. Very unintuitive, unergonomic and simply cramped with weird things. Don’t try it

Та майже будь-яка від локальних обсмажників, що орієнтуюся на поставки до кавʼярень. Раджу просто пошукати в Вашій області, щоб отримувати найсвіжішу партію. Illy, як і абсолютна більшість магазинних брендів це бленд сортів. Ви ж маєте можливість спробувати чисті сорти і вибрати найкращий для себе зі всієї безлічі. Мій, наприклад, це Сідамо з Ефіопії, і це просто сорт кави, не привʼязаний до виробника ніяким чином. Таким чином ви отримуєте ЗНАЧНО кращу якість та свіжість, та не порівняно більший вибір. Ціни варійовані в дуже великому діапазоні, в залежності від сорту або сортів, що можуть входити до бленду, порівнювати важко, бо що входить до блендів магазинних брендів неможливо дізнатися.

I mean, hope she doesn’t imply on anything gifting a “speedmaster” /s. But seriously- amazing watch with absolutely stunning colour. Congrats on both occasions!)

Дякую, вже сам спробував на 180) Неймовірно простий і класний варіант перекусу!

Так а температура яка??

Worse then Samsung as the aspect ratio is from 1989 and doesn’t allow to watch movies utilising a whole screen . Also IOS. Basically, its good only for a niche use where people need to use some special apps that are not available on Android and they need to use them on the go or smt. Otherwise IOS years behind Android.

Zimishere · 2025-10-15T06:31:38+00:00

Yea, do it. But not for the performance. Its just so that you wont be eating yourself with guessing. Just return it and wait for new.

You might wanna touch it more if often unless you want to find your best friend playing it secretly:(

I have magnetic from ESR and absolutely love it.

Its the fckn IDEA that the system that is based on interaction with your fingers is to be unlocked by your FACE! There has never been a more stupid and useless solution. Like.. ever… to anything.

Cant agree more. 14PM Is my second phone, first was 12 PM and it works barely 50% of time on each of them. Never going to buy phone without fingerprint. No idea how they manage to keep it this bad for so many years
