MikroTik Chateau LTE12 — Wi-Fi and LTE access point for SOHO and SMB networks

MikroTik Chateau LTE12 is a home LTE router with an integrated Cat12 modem, dual-band 2.4/5 GHz WiFi, and five Gigabit Ethernet ports, designed for homes that need fast, reliable internet through mobile networks without dependence on fiber or cable infrastructure. Delivering speeds up to 600 Mbps through carrier aggregation across three simultaneous bands and equipped with four internal 4x4 MIMO LTE antennas, it provides top-tier mobile performance from a compact desktop router.

The LTE Cat12 modem with carrier aggregation uses three frequency bands simultaneously — versus two with Cat6 — delivering higher speeds and improved stability in areas with high LTE user density or weak signal conditions. Four internal 4x4 MIMO LTE antennas ensure strong mobile connectivity straight out of the box, while two SMA female connectors allow external antennas to be attached for even better coverage in challenging locations. Simultaneously active dual-band WiFi covers 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi 4) for standard mobile devices and 5 GHz (Wi-Fi 5) for video streaming and latency-sensitive tasks. The quad-core ARM CPU with 256 MB RAM and RouterOS v7 handles large networks with many simultaneous users.

Chateau LTE12 operates as a primary LTE router or as a WiFi access point connected to internet via the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The full-size USB port supports external storage, and the Micro SIM slot is accessible without disassembling the enclosure. The compact, unobtrusive horizontal desktop design integrates into any room without drawing attention.

Recommended for homes without fiber or cable internet access, users in rural areas where Cat12 carrier aggregation doubles speeds compared to standard LTE connections, large households with many simultaneously connected devices, and any home networking scenario where high-speed LTE internet and powerful dual-band WiFi are needed from a single affordable router. RouterOS v7 level 4 license and free lifetime software updates are included.
