Enjoy the wireless performance of MikroTik Metal 52 ac, a device offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and adaptability. As a versatile 2.4/5GHz Software Selectable AP/Backbone/CPE, the Metal 52 ac stands out for its ability to surpass traditional limitations. This device not only supports the high-performance 802.11ac standard but also provides a Gigabit Ethernet port for fast data transfer. What sets the Metal 52 ac apart is its “Software Selectable” feature, enabling users to dynamically configure or switch between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands using intuitive software settings.

The Metal 52 ac, functioning as an Access Point (AP), Backbone, or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), showcases its multifaceted capabilities. In AP mode, it serves as a central hub for wireless clients, facilitating seamless network access and communication. In a backbone configuration, it establishes high-speed connections between network segments, elevating overall network performance. As a CPE, the device operates as a receiver or endpoint, connecting to a central access point or backbone infrastructure.

Encased in a robust, fully sealed, industrial-design metal case with an IP55 protection rating, the MikroTik Metal 52 ac stands as a testament to durability. The RouterBOARD, a specialized router device, lays the foundation for the Metal 52 ac. Meanwhile, RouterOS, MikroTik’s operating system, conducts seamless routing and network management, offering a comprehensive suite of features such as routing, firewall, bandwidth management, and wireless communication.

At its core, the Metal 52 ac is equipped with a game-changing Dual Band 2.4/5 GHz Omni-directional antenna. The dual-band capability empowers the device to operate seamlessly across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, providing unparalleled flexibility in wireless communication. Complementing this, the antenna ensures a 360-degree coverage pattern, making it ideal for scenarios demanding signals to reach devices in various directions, particularly in open areas or environments with varying client device locations. Delving into the specifics, the antenna’s gains boast a 6dBi gain for the 2.4 GHz band and an impressive 8dBi for the 5 GHz band. These gains signify the antenna’s capability to focus and amplify signals in their respective bands, a crucial attribute for optimizing wireless connections.
