MikroTik NetMetal ax Wi-Fi 6 Long-Range Backhaul Radio

The MikroTik NetMetal ax is a rugged, high-performance outdoor radio engineered for both point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) backhaul links. Featuring Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, powerful amplifiers, and dual-chain MIMO radios, it delivers ultra-low-latency throughput up to 1.8 Gbps. Perfect for WISPs, enterprise campus backhauls, and rural broadband, NetMetal ax excels in challenging environments with heavy client density.

Wi-Fi 6 for Enhanced Capacity & Efficiency

Equipped with dual-chain 2×2 MIMO 802.11ax radios on 5 GHz, NetMetal ax leverages OFDMA and MU-MIMO to support dozens of concurrent clients with improved spectral efficiency. Achieve up to 1200 Mbps per chain in optimal conditions—ideal for high-capacity backhaul.

High-Power Amplifiers & High-Gain Antenna Options

With integrated high-power amplifiers (up to 30 dBm) and configurable sector or dish antenna mounts, the NetMetal ax achieves extended range and robust link budgets. Use dedicated parabolic dishes for PTP (> 20 km) or sector panels for PTMP coverage sectors up to 120°.

Flexible PoE & Multi-Gigabit Ports

Includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 2.5 Gbps port for uplink aggregation. PoE-in via 802.3af/at (port 1) powers the unit in remote installations. Combine multi-gig ports for link bonding or direct NAS connections.

Rugged IP67 Housing & Mounting Flexibility

Built in an IP67-rated metal enclosure, NetMetal ax withstands dust, rain, and extreme temperatures. Integrated mounting brackets support pole, wall, or mast installation, with quick-release clamps for alignment.

RouterOS v7: Advanced Backhaul Features

Powered by RouterOS v7 (license level 4), unlock NV2 TDMA, advanced QoS, VLAN tagging, secure VPNs (IPsec, WireGuard®), dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP), and in-depth spectrum analysis. Configure with WinBox, WebFig, or CLI for enterprise-grade control.

Ideal Use Cases

• WISP Backhaul: high-capacity links between towers and subscriber sectors.
• Campus Networks: interconnect buildings with high-speed PTP links.
• Rural Broadband: extend internet to remote communities with minimal infrastructure.
