Overview

What it is and who it is for

The MikroTik RB953GS-5HnT-RP is a RouterBOARD wireless router and MikroTik's first product with 5 GHz 3x3 MIMO triple-chain support. It has an 802.11a/n radio rated at up to 450 Mbit/s with three RP-SMA antenna connectors, and runs RouterOS with a level 5 license.

A QCA9558 CPU at 720 MHz with 128 MB RAM and 128 MB NAND drives three Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP cages for FTTH and fiber ring deployments. Two miniPCIe slots and two mini SIM slots allow multiple 3G/4G connections or extra wireless cards. MikroTik RFC 2544 tests show 1,966.1 Mbps routing at 1518-byte packets (fast path).

Power comes from the DC jack or passive PoE in at 11 to 30 V, with a maximum draw of 25 W. The board measures 183 x 105 x 24 mm, has an RS232 serial console and a USB port, and was tested by MikroTik at -40 to 70 °C ambient. The international version covers 5150 to 5875 MHz, subject to country rules.

  • Best for: FTTH and fiber ring sites and custom wireless builds that need 3x3 5 GHz with multiple cellular or radio cards.
  • System fit: MikroTik RouterOS level 5; external antennas through 3x RP-SMA; miniPCIe for modems or extra radios.
  • Important to know: Enclosure and antennas are not listed as included; usable 5 GHz channels depend on local rules.
