Hi All,

I need to extend my CAPsMAN network to get better coverage in the garden for some Shelly devices.

Does anyone have a spare or redundant Mikrotik AP?

Outdoor (or Indoor) 2.4ghz (5ghz not needed but okay if it has it).
POE support would be great.
Needs to support CAPsMAN on routeros v6. I don't think my devices will support v7.

Cheers
Josh

Thanks. Not much more for other models with warranty. Will think on what I need. Just thought there might be some surplus to requirements floating around here.

I did see stock was pretty low on newer stuff.

https://www.gowifi.co.nz/mikrotik/rbwap2nd-be.html Something like this is in-stock and would be fine for my use case.

I've noticed in the past many people on the forum lean towards different wifi solutions e.g unifi, grandstream... So was hoping people might have unused Mikrotik. Someone has PM'd me so hopefully that works out.

Hi, I have a large number of MT residential installs all multi AP using CAPMAN typically cAP ac units but also some hAP2 and recently hAP3. I frankly find it an excellent solution, even though some folk bag it, but for reliablity its great and just doing business without fuss.

I used to do a lot of MT router with UniFi wireless, but now its more likely all MT or MT route and Grandstream wireless, the Grandstream stuff is pretty solid and an excellent sweet spot on the $.
