MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD WiFi 6 RouterBOARD
MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD is a modular dual-band WiFi 6 RouterBOARD designed for building custom outdoor wireless access points, CPEs and specialized networking products. Unlike a conventional all-in-one wireless router, this board is designed to be integrated into a suitable enclosure and connected to external antennas.
The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD combines dual-band 2×2 WiFi 6 wireless capability with a Gigabit Ethernet port, 2.5G SFP connectivity, Mini PCIe expansion, NanoSIM support, USB and passive PoE-in. Its modular design makes it suitable for custom outdoor wireless installations, point-to-point links, CPE deployments, IoT gateways and OEM-style networking applications.
MikroTik describes the L23UGSR as a WiFi 6 upgrade to the earlier RB922-style DIY RouterBOARD concept, allowing users to create customized wireless products and installations.
Exact Product Identification
The exact manufacturer product code is L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD. This full model number should be used for quotations, product listings, inventory records and technical documentation.
The product belongs to MikroTik’s RouterBOARD family and is intended as a modular wireless networking platform rather than a finished consumer WiFi router.
Dual-Band WiFi 6 with 2×2 Wireless
The MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD features a dual-band, dual-chain WiFi 6 radio. It supports WiFi 6 / 802.11ax on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless bands.
- 2.4GHz: 802.11b/g/n/ax, 2×2
- 2.4GHz maximum data rate: 574 Mbps
- 5GHz: 802.11a/n/ac/ax, 2×2
- 5GHz maximum data rate: 2400 Mbps
- Wireless generation: WiFi 6
- 2.4GHz wireless chip: IPQ-5010
- 5GHz wireless chip: QCN-6102
These are maximum wireless PHY/data-rate specifications. Actual wireless throughput depends on client capability, channel width, interference, antenna selection, signal strength, regulatory limits and network configuration.
Designed for Custom Outdoor WiFi 6 Deployments
The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD is particularly different from conventional MikroTik wireless products because it is supplied as a modular board without a standard integrated outdoor enclosure.
MikroTik documentation states that the device comes without an enclosure and is intended to be installed into the user’s own enclosure or end product. Compatible MikroTik enclosures include the CA411-711 and CA433U.
This approach allows system integrators to design custom wireless equipment around the RouterBOARD platform.
External Antenna Design with MMCX Connectors
The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD uses external antenna connectivity, making antenna selection an important part of the final installation.
The board provides MMCX antenna connectors, allowing integrators to choose antennas according to the intended application. Depending on the selected antenna and enclosure design, the platform can be configured for omnidirectional access point applications or directional point-to-point wireless links.
MikroTik specifically highlights the possibility of using compatible external antennas to build custom omnidirectional APs and long-range wireless links.
1× Gigabit Ethernet Port
The MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD includes 1× 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port. This provides the wired network connection for the wireless platform and can be used for LAN connectivity, management or network backhaul depending on the configuration.
The Ethernet interface also supports passive PoE-in, allowing the board to receive power through the Ethernet connection when used with a compatible passive PoE setup.
2.5G SFP Connectivity
One of the key features of this RouterBOARD is its 1× SFP port with 2.5G support. This provides an additional high-speed interface beyond the Gigabit Ethernet port.
The 2.5G-capable SFP interface can be useful for fiber-based connectivity and high-speed network integration, depending on the selected compatible SFP module and network architecture.
Mini PCIe Expansion Slot
The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD includes 1× Mini PCIe slot, providing additional hardware expansion capability.
MikroTik specifies the Mini PCIe slot for supported expansion such as LTE or LoRa cards. This makes the board useful for custom networking and IoT designs where wireless connectivity needs to be expanded beyond the integrated WiFi radios.
NanoSIM Slot for Cellular Expansion
A dedicated NanoSIM slot is available for supported modem configurations. When paired with a compatible LTE modem installed through the Mini PCIe slot, the platform can be designed for cellular backup or mobile connectivity applications.
This can be useful in remote locations where wired Internet is unavailable or where a secondary cellular WAN connection is required.
USB Type-A Port
The MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD provides 1× USB Type-A port. The USB interface can be used for supported storage, peripherals or expansion requirements.
The USB interface and Mini PCIe slot share the USB line, so MikroTik documentation notes that they cannot be used simultaneously.
IPQ-5010 Dual-Core ARM Processor
The board is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm IPQ-5010 ARM processor operating at a nominal frequency of 800MHz.
The system includes 256MB RAM and 128MB NAND storage. RouterOS v7 is preinstalled and the device carries a Level 4 RouterOS license.
RouterOS v7
The MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD runs RouterOS v7, providing MikroTik’s networking platform for wireless configuration, routing, firewall, VPN, management and other supported networking functions.
The official user manual specifies RouterOS version 7.14.2 or later for the device and recommends keeping RouterOS updated for performance, stability and security updates.
Passive PoE-In and Power Options
The RouterBOARD supports two power input methods:
The specified DC input range is 12–28V, while passive PoE-in supports 18–28V. MikroTik specifies maximum power consumption of 25W, with up to 12W consumption without attached accessories.
Custom CPE and Point-to-Point Applications
The modular architecture makes the L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD suitable for customized CPE and wireless backhaul designs.
With an appropriate directional antenna, the board can be incorporated into a point-to-point wireless link. With an appropriate omnidirectional antenna, it can be configured as an outdoor access point.
MikroTik notes that links of up to 30km may be feasible depending on the antenna and installation, but achievable distance and reliability vary significantly with antenna selection, terrain, interference, regulatory limits and link design.
Outdoor Wireless and OEM Applications
The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD can be integrated into a wide range of custom products and installations, including:
- Custom outdoor WiFi 6 access points
- Outdoor wireless CPE
- Point-to-point wireless links
- Point-to-multipoint wireless infrastructure
- Wireless backhaul systems
- LTE backup networking
- LoRa IoT gateways
- Smart vending machines
- Ticketing stations
- ATM and kiosk networking
- Industrial networking equipment
- OEM networking products
MikroTik specifically describes the platform as suitable for customized products such as smart vending machines and ticket stations, illustrating its OEM-oriented design.
