MikroTik R11e-5HacD Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac miniPCI-express Card 867Mbps 27dBm

The MikroTik R11e-5HacD is a high-power 802.11ac miniPCI-express wireless card engineered for demanding point-to-point and point-to-multipoint deployments. Operating exclusively in the 5 GHz band with support for 802.11a/n/ac standards and a maximum output power of 27 dBm (approximately 500 mW), it delivers the RF headroom needed for long-range outdoor links as well as dense indoor environments. Built around the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9882 chipset with two spatial streams, the card achieves a maximum PHY data rate of 867 Mbit/s. Its miniPCI-express form factor makes it a direct fit for RouterBOARD platforms such as the RB953, RB912, RB922, and RB800, as well as x86 systems running RouterOS. Onboard LED indicators for wireless mode, connection status, TX/RX activity, and signal strength simplify physical installation and antenna alignment without requiring additional tooling.

Key features & benefits

• High-Output 27 dBm Transmit Power — A 27 dBm output rating provides the signal margin necessary for extended-range links and installations where cable loss or antenna positioning is a challenge.
• 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) with 867 Mbit/s Maximum Rate — Full 802.11a/n/ac compatibility on the 5 GHz band, with a peak wireless data rate of 867 Mbit/s across two spatial streams, supports throughput-intensive applications.
• Qualcomm Atheros QCA9882 Chipset — The QCA9882 is a proven two-chain 5 GHz chipset that provides a stable foundation for RouterOS wireless features and driver-level optimization.
• Onboard LED Diagnostics — Dedicated LEDs indicate wireless mode, connection status (connected, searching, disabled), TX and RX activity, and wireless signal strength, enabling accurate antenna alignment and troubleshooting directly at the card.
• Indoor and Outdoor Rated — Tested across an ambient temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, the card is suitable for both climate-controlled indoor installations and exposed outdoor enclosures.
• Dual MMCX Antenna Connectors — Two MMCX connectors support a wide range of external antenna configurations, enabling both diversity and MIMO setups depending on the deployment requirement.
• miniPCI-express Form Factor — Standard miniPCIe form factor ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility with the broad RouterBOARD ecosystem and x86 RouterOS platforms, simplifying integration into existing infrastructure.
• FCC and IC Certified — Dual regulatory certification covers deployment across the United States and Canada, reducing compliance burden for professional installers and system integrators.
• Low 4 W Maximum Power Consumption — A maximum draw of only 4 W keeps thermal and power-budget impact on the host router minimal, even during sustained high-power transmission.
