Key Considerations
- For 1000 Mbps and above, ensure the router has multi-Gigabit Ethernet ports or SFP+ for WAN uplink.
- Wi-Fi 6 performance depends on the number of spatial streams (2×2 vs 4×4 MIMO) and channel width (80 MHz vs 160 MHz).
- RouterOS v7 is required for optimal performance and IPoE support.
- RB5009UG+S+IN is ideal as a core router paired with a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 AP like hAP ax³ or cAP ax.
| Model | Max Wired Throughput | Wi-Fi 6 Capability | Recommended for Speeds | Notes |
| Chateau Pro AX (H53uig-5Haxq2haxq) | 5x Gigabit Ethernet | 4×4 MIMO, Wi-Fi 6 | ✅ All listed speeds up to 2000/500 Mbps | Quad-core 2.2 GHz ARM CPU, USB 3.0, ideal for advanced setups |
| RB5009UG+S+IN + Wi-Fi 6 AP (e.g., hAP ax³) | 1x 2.5G + 1x 10G SFP+ | Depends on AP used | ✅ All listed speeds up to 2000/500 Mbps | Use RB5009 as core router + separate Wi-Fi 6 or 7 AP for best performance |
| hAP ax³ (C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD) | 4x Gigabit Ethernet | Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 | ✅ Up to 1000/100 Mbps | Good for high-speed residential setups; limited by 1G ports |
| hAP ax² (C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC) | 1x Gigabit Ethernet | Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 | ✅ Up to 750/50 Mbps | Budget-friendly, but limited by single Gigabit uplink |
