The MikroTik LHG 5 ax is a 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 CPE with an integrated 24.5 dBi grid antenna, for point-to-point links and long-distance client connections.

MikroTik quotes links of up to 20 km in most scenarios. The antenna is built into the wireless unit, so there is no cable loss, and the grid design reduces wind load. It runs RouterOS v7 with WPA3 and takes passive PoE from the included injector. A 27 dBi version is sold as the LHG XL 5 ax.

Key features

  • 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax, 2 chains, up to 1200 Mbit/s
  • 24.5 dBi integrated grid antenna
  • 1 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet port with passive PoE in (12-28 V)
  • Dual-core IPQ-5010 CPU, 256 MB RAM, 128 MB NAND
  • RouterOS v7, level 3 licence
  • IP54 rated, 5 W maximum consumption

In the box

  • 24 V 0.38 A power adapter
  • K-LHG kit
  • Gigabit PoE injector
  • Hose clamps
