MikroTik NetBox 5 ax Point-to-Point – Professional Wireless Connectivity for SMB & Industrial

MikroTik NetBox 5 ax is a versatile outdoor 5 GHz WiFi 6 device in a durable IP54 enclosure, designed for use as an access point, CPE, or point-to-point link depending on the external antenna chosen. It is deployed by ISPs, integrators, and network administrators needing compact and flexible outdoor equipment for 5 GHz WiFi 6 coverage at distances up to 30 km — a single hardware platform covering multiple deployment scenarios without requiring separate equipment. A direct WiFi 6 upgrade to the popular NetBox 5, with the same compact and easy-to-install form factor.

NetBox 5 ax integrates 5 GHz WiFi 6 dual-chain with throughput up to 2400 Mbps and two RP-SMA connectors for external antennas — adding an HGO-antenna-OUT transforms the device into an excellent omnidirectional access point, while the mANT30 PA antenna creates a powerful point-to-point link for distances up to 30 km. The dual-core ARM IPQ-5010 processor at 800 MHz with 256 MB RAM and 128 MB NAND ensures smooth RouterOS v7 (License Level 4) operation with full functionality at no recurring cost. The Gigabit Ethernet port with passive PoE 18–28V and USB type A port complete connectivity for various installation scenarios.

The IP54 weatherproof enclosure that opens effortlessly with one hand and Ethernet exits concealed behind a protective door at the bottom simplify field installation and maintenance. The mounting loop for pole or tower installation and a separate DIN rail mount provide maximum installation flexibility in any outdoor configuration. The included kit — 24V 1.2A adapter, Gigabit PoE injector, hose clamp, and DIN mount K-27 — enables immediate installation without additional accessories. Maximum consumption of 6W without load, passive cooling, and the operating range from -40°C to +70°C guarantee efficient and reliable operation in extreme climatic conditions. The integrated beeper completes diagnostics and alert options.

Recommended for ISPs deploying 5 GHz WiFi 6 CPEs for clients at medium and long distances, integrators building point-to-point links or outdoor access points with interchangeable external antennas, and network administrators looking for compact and versatile outdoor equipment covering multiple roles without separate hardware platforms. Also suited as a WiFi 6 upgrade for existing NetBox 5 installations and for any outdoor 5 GHz deployment where RP-SMA antenna flexibility and the compact IP54 form factor are priorities.
