MikroTik LHG 2 – Long-Range Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge for SMB Networks

The MikroTik LHG 2 is a 2.4 GHz integrated grid antenna with 18 dBi gain and a dual-chain Wireless N transmitter, built for point-to-point links and CPE deployments at medium and long distances where 2.4 GHz signal penetration, compact form factor, and accessible pricing are the priorities. The antenna element integrated directly into the wireless unit eliminates cable losses, the lightweight grid design reduces wind load compared to equivalent solid parabolic dishes, and Nv2 TDMA support optimizes spectral efficiency in ISP networks with high simultaneous client counts.

The 18 dBi gain on the 2.4 GHz band combines medium-to-long-distance coverage with superior penetration through obstacles compared to the 5 GHz band — a direct advantage for CPE installations in semi-urban, rural, or vegetated environments. The dual-chain 802.11b/g/n transmitter delivers data rates up to 300 Mbps with broad compatibility for mixed client devices. Nv2 TDMA reduces latency and improves efficiency in point-to-multipoint scenarios compared to standard 802.11 protocols. The QCA9533 CPU at 650 MHz and 64 MB RAM run the factory-activated RouterOS Level 3 license.

At Ø391x222mm and just 5W power consumption, the LHG 2 offers the best gain-to-power-to-cost ratio in the 2.4 GHz LHG family — the optimal entry point for ISPs building access infrastructure at scale. The included package — PoE injector, 24V power adapter, and K-LHG mounting kit — covers a complete pole installation without additional purchases. The tested operating range of -40°C to +70°C confirms continuous operation in extreme climatic conditions.

It is the right fit for ISPs installing 2.4 GHz CPE at medium distances in areas with obstructions or vegetation where signal penetration matters more than peak throughput, for point-to-point links where 18 dBi meets signal level requirements at minimum cost, for networks using Nv2 TDMA where spectral efficiency with high client counts is the priority, and for operators seeking the most accessible integrated 2.4 GHz CPE device with full RouterOS support.
