Mikrotik supports 802.11n
Announcing two new MikroTik RouterBOARD products - R52n and R2n that both support wireless 802.11n standard in addition to 802.11abg or 802.11bg (in case of R2n). Finally it’s possible to achieve 200Mbps actual data throughput over wireless links!
A pair of RB600A devices was tested, each populated with the new R52n card, that were each connected to a pair of antennas. Running a bandwidth test from a RouterBOARD 1000 on each end, we achieved up to 30000pps and 194.3Mbps thoughput.
The applications are limitless. With new laptops supporting 802.11n by default, you can increase your local network capacity four times of the previously possible speeds
Starting with v4.0beta3 RouterOS now includes support for these 802.11n cards, that is unlocked by updating your RouterOS license with the new 8 digit SoftID. The process is very simple, click on the Update Key button in Winbox license menu, and 802.11n support will become available and cards will appear in your Interface list. A new key will be generated in our server, put into your account, and also in your router.

RB600A is perfect for running 802.11n applications because it has gigabit ports, to accomodate the new high speed transwers, and it’s the most powerful of the current RouterBOARD lineup.
