MikroTik L11UG-5HaxD-NB WiFi 6 802.11ax Wireless Access Point PoE

The MikroTik NetBox 5 ax (L11UG-5HaxD-NB) is a Wi-Fi 6 outdoor wireless platform engineered for deployment flexibility across access point, CPE, and point-to-point roles. Built around a dual-core Qualcomm IPQ-5010 ARM CPU running at 800 MHz and a QCN-6102 wireless interface, it delivers 802.11a/n/ac/ax dual-chain operation in the 5 GHz band with RP-SMA female connectors that accept external antennas to suit the specific link or coverage geometry required. A single Gigabit Ethernet port with Passive PoE-in (18–28 V) simplifies mounting at height by eliminating the need for a separate power run, while a DC jack and USB 2.0 Type-A port add further installation flexibility. The weatherproof enclosure is rated for –40 °C to +70 °C, features a tool-assisted one-hand opening mechanism, a mounting loop for pole and tower installation, and an optional DIN rail mount. RouterOS v7 at License Level 4 provides the full suite of MikroTik routing, bridging, and wireless management capabilities, and onboard voltage and temperature sensors, signal and status LEDs, and a beeper support ongoing monitoring and alerting in the field.

Key features & benefits

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 5 GHz Dual-Chain Radio — The QCN-6102 wireless interface supports the full 802.11a/n/ac/ax protocol stack in a dual-chain configuration, enabling the higher spectral efficiency and improved client density that Wi-Fi 6 brings to demanding outdoor deployments.
• Multi-Role Operation: AP, CPE, and Point-to-Point — A single unit can serve as a sector or omnidirectional access point, a customer-premises radio, or one end of a dedicated point-to-point backhaul link, reducing the number of distinct SKUs required across a network build-out.
• RP-SMA Female Connectors for External Antenna Flexibility — Dual RP-SMA female (outside thread) ports allow the operator to select an antenna matched to the use case, whether broad-coverage omnidirectional or high-gain directional, without being locked into an integrated radiator.
• Passive PoE-In with Wide Voltage Range — Accepts Passive PoE from 18 V to 28 V, with a nominal 24 V / 1.2 A adapter, allowing the unit to be powered over a single Ethernet cable from the base of a tower or pole and keeping the installation clean and straightforward.
• Rugged Outdoor Enclosure, –40 °C to +70 °C — The injection-molded case is designed for continuous outdoor exposure across a wide thermal range, includes a protective door over the Ethernet egress, and supports both pole/tower mounting via an integrated loop and DIN rail mounting via a separate bracket.
• Dual-Core ARM CPU with 256 MB RAM and RouterOS v7 L4 — The Qualcomm IPQ-5010 at 800 MHz paired with 256 MB of RAM and 128 MB NAND flash runs RouterOS v7 License Level 4, giving network administrators access to advanced routing, firewall, MPLS, and wireless management features from the same platform used across MikroTik's broader product line.
• USB 2.0 Type-A Port — The onboard USB 2.0 port (max 1.5 A output) accommodates additional storage devices or other USB peripherals, extending the utility of the platform beyond pure wireless forwarding.
• Up to 128 Concurrent Clients per Interface — The unit is rated for 128 concurrent client associations per wireless interface, supporting high-density deployment scenarios such as multi-dwelling access or public venues.
• Onboard Monitoring and Alerting — Integrated voltage and temperature sensors, signal and status LEDs, and a beeper provide real-time hardware health visibility and can be leveraged for scripted alarm outputs through RouterOS.
