MikroTik LHG-5axD-XL Wi-Fi 6 CPE 27 dBi 1200Mbps Outdoor PoE Router

The MikroTik LHG-5axD-XL is a Wi-Fi 6 outdoor CPE and long-range point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge built around a high-gain 27 dBi grid antenna designed for demanding 5 GHz wireless links. Powered by a dual-core ARM 64-bit IPQ-5010 processor running at 800 MHz with 256 MB of RAM and 128 MB of NAND storage, the unit runs RouterOS v7 (License Level 3), delivering a mature, enterprise-capable feature set in a weatherproof IP54-rated enclosure. The aerodynamic grid antenna form factor minimizes wind load in exposed installations, while passive PoE input across a wide 12–28 V range simplifies deployment on existing cable runs. WPA3 security, 802.11a/n/ac/ax support, and a maximum 5 GHz data rate of 1200 Mbit/s make this unit well suited for carrier-grade backhaul, campus distribution, and rural broadband access applications where both range and throughput are critical. The package includes a 24 V power adapter, Gigabit PoE injector, K-LHG mounting kit, and hose clamps for rapid pole installation.

Key features & benefits

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on 5 GHz — The QCN-6102 wireless chipset with two spatial streams delivers up to 1200 Mbit/s maximum data rate, providing the higher spectral efficiency and improved performance in congested environments that Wi-Fi 6 brings to long-range outdoor links.
• 27 dBi High-Gain Grid Antenna — The integrated 27 dBi directional antenna concentrates RF energy for extended reach, making the LHG-5axD-XL effective for bridging locations where lower-gain devices cannot maintain reliable throughput.
• WPA3 Security — Built-in WPA3 support provides stronger authentication and encryption than previous Wi-Fi security generations, reducing exposure on links that traverse public or semi-public spaces.
• Aerodynamic Grid Antenna Design — The open-grid reflector structure reduces wind resistance in exposed rooftop or tower installations, lowering mechanical stress on mounts and supporting structures over the product lifecycle.
• Wide-Range Passive PoE Input (12–28 V) — A single PoE-IN port accepts passive PoE across a 12–28 V range at up to 5 W maximum consumption, allowing the unit to be powered from a variety of injectors and DC sources already present in a deployment.
• RouterOS v7 with ARM 64-bit Platform — The dual-core IPQ-5010 running at 800 MHz with 256 MB RAM runs RouterOS v7 License Level 3, giving network engineers access to routing, firewall, bridging, and traffic-shaping features appropriate for professional infrastructure deployments.
• IP54-Rated Weatherproof Enclosure — An IP54 ingress protection rating guards the electronics against dust ingress and water splashing from any direction, supporting year-round outdoor operation across a tested ambient temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C.
• Complete Mounting Kit Included — The box includes a 24 V 0.38 A power adapter, a Gigabit PoE injector, the K-LHG mounting kit, and two hose clamps, so the unit can be pole-mounted and operational without sourcing additional hardware.
