MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD 802.11n Wireless Access Point PoE GPS

The MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD-US is a modular outdoor-capable wireless router board designed for DIY access point and CPE deployments. It targets network builders, homelabs, small businesses, and product developers who need a flexible, low-cost platform they can configure for omni-directional coverage or point-to-point links by selecting their own antennas via MMCX connectors. The board runs RouterOS v7 under license level 4 and ships with no subscription or licensing fees beyond the purchase price. Expansion options include two miniPCIe slots — one of which can accept an LTE modem enabled by the onboard SIM slots — a USB Type-A port, and a serial console for out-of-band management. Three independent power input paths (DC jack, automotive, and Passive PoE-in) give integrators broad flexibility when mounting the board in vehicles, enclosures, or pole-top installations. A PCB temperature monitor, voltage monitor, GPS, and a legacy beeper round out the feature set for monitoring-intensive or creative embedded applications. Note: the technical specification table included with this listing reflects Wi-Fi 4 wireless parameters; buyers should verify the exact wireless generation with MikroTik before ordering.

Key features & benefits

• Modular MMCX Antenna Architecture — Four MMCX connectors allow the board to accept a wide variety of third-party and MikroTik antennas, enabling the same hardware platform to serve as an omni-directional access point or a long-range point-to-point link simply by swapping the attached antenna.
• Dual miniPCIe Expansion Slots — Two miniPCIe slots allow the platform to be extended with add-in cards such as LTE modems or LoRa IoT gateways, supported by three onboard Mini SIM slots so cellular connectivity requires no external adapter.
• Triple Power Input Paths — Simultaneous support for a 12–30 V DC jack, 12–27 V automotive input, and 12–30 V Passive PoE-in means the board can be deployed in vehicles, standard rack or wall installations, and PoE-fed outdoor enclosures without additional power conversion hardware.
• RouterOS v7 with No Recurring Fees — The board ships with RouterOS v7 at license level 4. There are no subscriptions, paywalls, or royalty arrangements — the software capability purchased at point of sale remains available for the life of the hardware.
• Onboard GPS — An integrated GPS receiver supports location-aware applications and can assist with network timing or asset-tracking use cases in embedded product deployments such as vending machines or ticketing stations.
• IPsec Hardware Acceleration — Dedicated IPsec acceleration offloads VPN tunnel processing from the main CPU, helping maintain throughput on encrypted backhaul or remote-access links without requiring an upgrade to a higher-tier platform.
• Passive Cooling — The board uses entirely passive thermal management, eliminating fan noise, fan-related failure modes, and maintenance intervals in sealed outdoor enclosures.
• Broad Environmental Rating — A tested ambient operating range of -40 °C to 70 °C and an IP54 ingress protection rating qualify the board for year-round outdoor installation in most climates without an additional weatherproof housing.
