Meet one of your most versatile companions: the NetMetal ax
– a powerful long-range outdoor access point that thrives in any
environment. Designed for extra durability, it can be installed almost
anywhere with ease – you can open and close the case with one
hand. The rated IP66 protection will keep the device safe from dust
and powerful water jets - in damp attics and elevator shafts, bustling
docks, or coastal tower structures. No terrain is too rough for the
NetMetal ax – the Mars rover of networking!

It features a modern dual-core ARM CPU, Gigabit Ethernet and

2.5 Gigabit SFP for fiber connectivity, a USB port, and a free
miniPCIe slot that allows further customization. You could, for
example, add an LTE modem for a mobile internet backup – we’ve
added a NanoSIM slot on the NetMetal! But there are other options,
like adding a gateway for LoRa IoT setups, such as our R11e-LR8!

A powerful dual-band, dual-chain Wi-Fi 6 radio offers increased speed, stability, security, roaming,
power management, and other features, compared to the previous wireless protocols. Two RP-SMA
connectors allow adding an antenna of your choice for distances up to 30 kilometers.*. If necessary, you
can adapt the NetMetal ax for lower range use with such antennas as our HGO-antenna-OUT screw-on
omni antenna unit. It provides 3.3 dBi gain for the 2.4 GHz band and 5.5-7.1 dBi gain for the 5 GHz band.

If you’ve read this far, here’s a little bonus feature: we’ve kept the good old beeper for various alarms or
creative outputs.

*It’s important to note that while longer links are feasible, their reliability may vary. Additionally, the distance
achievable greatly depends on the antenna selected for use.

CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN Review
8-port 25GbE 2-port 100GbE Switch
“This is one that we missed. The MikroTik CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN is a 25GbE and 100GbE switch
that comes in a desktop form factor. It has a decent amount of flexibility but also some crazy
features. One example of those features is that its redundant AC power supplies are only one
of four ways to power this switch.” © ServeTheHome
