Placă de rețea Mikrotik R11E-5HACD

The Mikrotik R11E-5HacD is an internal miniPCIe wireless network card that supports Wi‑Fi 5 (802.11ac) and is designed for RouterBOARD devices with a miniPCIe slot or x86 systems running RouterOS. It provides high-speed RF wireless connectivity with support for IEEE 802.11a/n/ac standards and a Mini PCI Express host interface, making it suitable for improving throughput and signal quality in routing and access applications.

Advantages

The card includes built-in LED indicators for wireless mode, connection status (connected, searching, disabled), TX and RX activity, and signal strength, which simplifies installation and antenna alignment. Its miniPCIe form factor allows direct integration into compatible RouterBOARD units such as RB953, RB912, RB922 and RB800, and it supports standard 802.11ac performance for reliable data transfer.

Suitable for

• Upgrading RouterBOARD devices with a miniPCIe slot
• Indoor wireless access points and client interfaces
• Small office or home networks requiring improved wireless throughput
• RouterOS-based x86 systems needing an internal Wi‑Fi 5 radio

Key specifications

• Interface: Mini PCI Express (miniPCIe)
• Wireless standards: IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac (Wi‑Fi 5)
• Form factor: internal miniPCIe card
• Indicators: wireless mode, connection status, TX/RX activity, signal strength

How to use

Power off the RouterBOARD or x86 device before installing the miniPCIe card. Insert the R11E-5HacD into an available miniPCIe slot and secure it according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. After powering on, configure wireless settings in RouterOS: select the appropriate wireless mode and channels, set SSID and security parameters, and verify link status using the card’s LEDs and RouterOS interface. For client or AP operation, adjust transmit power and channel width as needed to match your network plan.

Recommendations

Install the card in devices explicitly supporting miniPCIe wireless modules and RouterOS. Use the LED indicators to fine-tune antenna positioning during setup and ensure firmware and RouterOS are updated to maintain compatibility and performance.
