Huh, isn't RB4011 the one with the very weird "you can't use a DAC in the SFP+ port" limitation?

> haven’t explored their WiFi products yet

They seem extremely underwhelming, especially in terms of software support :(

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WifiWave2 — they're finally barely rolling out WPA3, MU-MIMO/beamforming, 802.11w — in an optional beta package for a beta version of the OS, currently on 4 devices, breaking 2.4ghz on one of them, and breaking CAPsMAN (centralized management).

I had to get an active DAC cable (S+AO0005) for the RB-4011 because of the quirk you mentioned. Works great with the active cable, which was about $50 I think. I was glad I read the manual beforehand. :)

Thanks for the update on the WiFi side of things. Seems likely that I’ll be looking to another vendor for APs, but that’s fine.
