Draadloos access point MikroTik QRT 5

The MikroTik QRT 5 is a rugged outdoor flat panel wireless access point with an integrated RouterBOARD and a 24 dBi fixed antenna. Designed for outdoor deployment, the device operates in the 4.9–5.875 GHz frequency band and supports IEEE 802.11a and 802.11n standards, offering high output power on the 5 GHz band and Gigabit Ethernet to take full advantage of 802.11n speeds.

Advantages

The unit combines a high-gain 24 dBi dual-polarization antenna and a high-power RB911 dual-chain wireless radio in a single weatherproof enclosure, reducing installation complexity. It includes a Gigabit Ethernet port and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified cabling. The compact flat panel design and high transmit power make it suitable for long-distance point-to-point links and reliable outdoor access.

Suitable for

• Long-range point-to-point wireless links
• Outdoor access point for small to medium networks
• Bridging network segments across open areas
• Wireless links in challenging outdoor environments

Key specifications

• Frequency band: 4.9 - 5.875 GHz
• Antenna gain: 24 dBi
• Wireless standards: IEEE 802.11a, 802.11n
• Radio: RB911 high-power dual-chain
• Ethernet: 1 × Gigabit Ethernet (PoE support)
• Maximum power consumption: 11 W

How to use

Mount the flat panel antenna on a stable mast or wall with appropriate outdoor fasteners, orienting it toward the remote station for optimal line-of-sight. Connect a Gigabit Ethernet cable to the port and supply power via a compatible PoE injector or PoE switch. Configure the RB911 wireless settings through the RouterBOARD software to match local frequency, channel width and security settings, then verify link quality and throughput. For point-to-point links, fine-tune alignment while monitoring signal strength.

Recommendations

Install the QRT 5 where it has a clear line of sight to the remote device, avoid nearby large obstructions, and ensure grounding and lightning protection for outdoor deployments. Use appropriate regulatory frequency ranges and power limits for your region.
