The MikroTik L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD is a new device from the RouterBOARD series equipped with Wi-Fi 6 wireless interface. It supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax protocols in the 2.4 GHz band and IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax in the 5 GHz band. It features 4 MMCX connectors for antennas. The design is based on a dual-core ARM IPQ-5010 processor clocked at 800 MHz and DDR3L RAM (256 MB). It has 1 gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mb/s) and 1 SFP slot, which can operate at 2.5 Gb/s. The Ethernet port also serves as a PoE power input, supporting only passive PoE with a voltage range of 18 - 28 V DC. Power can also be supplied using a traditional DC socket (12 - 28 V DC).

The device is equipped with a nanoSIM slot and a miniPCIe slot, to which you can connect an LTE or LoRa module. An additional feature is the USB 2.0 port, where you can use either miniPCIe or USB at a given time; you cannot use both simultaneously. With these features, you can tailor the L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD precisely to your needs. Some of the main applications include a high-performance home router with powerful external antennas, a home LTE router, or as a client device in point-to-multipoint networks (when combined with a directional antenna) or even as a base station (when combined with a sector antenna). There's nothing stopping you from using the offered product as an external access point or as part of another device (e.g., various types of vending machines or ticket machines). The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD will excel in a wide range of applications in various types of networks.

Wi-Fi 6 wireless interface

The device can transmit Wi-Fi 6 wireless network in both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands simultaneously, utilizing IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax standards in 2.4 GHz and IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax in 5 GHz. Utilizing a Level 4 license allows you to use the L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD as an access point, for example, as a home router or a base station.

High performance

The offered product features a dual-core ARM processor clocked at 800 MHz (IPQ-5010) and 256 MB of RAM. It provides better performance than standard home routers and also allows you to use the L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD as a base station in point-to-multipoint connections.

1 gigabit Ethernet port, 1 SFP slot,  1 miniPCIe slot, 1 USB port, nanoSIM slot

The RouterBOARD is equipped with various types of interfaces. The main transmission is handled by the gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mb/s) and the SFP slot. Additionally, you can utilize the miniPCIe slot, where you can install a LoRa or LTE modem. At any given time, you can use either miniPCIe or the USB port; you cannot use both simultaneously. The nanoSIM slot is located on the housing, allowing you to use LTE modems without slots.

The large number of interfaces makes the L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD a versatile solution that you can adapt to many different networks.

DIY

The L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD is a "do-it-yourself" (DIY) device, it doesn't come with a case, and you need to customize it according to your needs. The multitude of possibilities, including compatibility with LoRa and LTE modems, makes this RouterBOARD suitable for numerous applications.

When combined with the appropriate casing, it can effectively serve as a router in a home lab. However, using it with a directional or sector antenna (MMCX connectors) can create a client device or point-to-multipoint base station. Due to its dimensions and the option to use a LoRa modem, the L23UGSR-5HaxD2HaxD is a suitable device for various IoT systems.

The offered product can be powered in two ways: using PoE (passive 12 - 28 V) or a DC socket (12 - 28 V). The maximum power consumption of the device itself is only 6 W, while the total power consumption with modems is 12 W.
