Professional Wireless Access Point MikroTik Metal 5 for SMB and Outdoor Wireless Networks

The MikroTik Metal 5 is an outdoor AP/CPE/backbone wireless device for the 5 GHz band with super high transmission power, built for pole or direct antenna mounting in demanding field conditions where mechanical durability and long-distance coverage are the priorities. Widely deployed as last-mile equipment in outdoor ISP networks, it features an integrated N-male connector and pole attachment points — enabling direct mounting onto an antenna without an intermediate pigtail cable, or connection via a standard antenna cable.

The super high-power 802.11a/n single-chain transmitter on the AR9280 chipset delivers long-range coverage on the 5 GHz band, with built-in LED signal indicators that simplify on-site installation and antenna alignment without additional diagnostic tools. The factory-activated RouterOS Level 4 license supports operation as an AP, CPE, or point-to-point link device — the same hardware adapts to any network role through software configuration.

The fully sealed industrial metal enclosure provides complete protection against moisture and extreme climatic conditions — the sealed design eliminates water ingress points common in enclosures with removable covers. The tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C and passive cooling confirm continuous operation without frequent maintenance. The included package — PoE injector, 24V power adapter, angled N connector, and two mounting rings — covers a complete pole or antenna installation.

It is the right fit for ISPs building 5 GHz last-mile infrastructure in rural or hard-to-reach areas where high transmission power makes the difference over standard equipment, for direct mounting on parabolic antennas where the N-male connector eliminates pigtail losses, for backup or secondary roles in existing networks, and for operators seeking a simple, rugged outdoor device at a minimal cost.
