MikroTik LHG 5 ax 24.5 dBi Wi-Fi 6 Outdoor PtP CPE
The MikroTik LHG 5 ax (LHG-5axD) is the compact, budget-entry Wi-Fi 6 long-range outdoor CPE in MikroTik's LHG ax series — the same modern 802.11ax platform as the XL model, at 24.5 dBi antenna gain. With 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 at 1,200 Mbps, WPA3 security, Gigabit Ethernet with passive PoE-in (12–28V), dual-core IPQ-5010 ARM CPU, 256 MB RAM, aerodynamic grid antenna, IP54 weatherproofing, and FCC and IC certification, it is purpose-built for stable point-to-point links up to 20 km — ideal for building-to-building bridges, WISP CPE deployments, and remote site connectivity at an accessible entry price.

The MikroTik LHG 5 ax is the Wi-Fi 6 upgrade to MikroTik's most popular long-range outdoor CPE platform — now with 802.11ax, 1024-QAM, OFDMA, and WPA3 built in, at the same price as the previous generation. For the vast majority of point-to-point link deployments — building bridges, WISP last-mile CPE, remote site connectivity, and farm or rural internet sharing — the LHG 5 ax at 24.5 dBi and up to 20 km range covers everything needed.
The 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) upgrade over the previous LHG generation is not a marginal improvement. Higher modulation (1024-QAM vs 256-QAM on 802.11ac), OFDMA sub-channel allocation, and improved spectral efficiency mean the LHG 5 ax delivers noticeably higher throughput per MHz and more stable data rates in RF environments with interference, adjacent channel activity, or competing links on the same band. Real-world outdoor links that previously ran at inconsistent rates on 802.11ac will run more consistently on the same hardware footprint with Wi-Fi 6.
WPA3 is included as standard — the current wireless security baseline for deployments where WPA2 is no longer sufficient. No additional configuration or licensing required.
The aerodynamic grid antenna design handles Canadian outdoor installation realities. Grid antennas shed wind load far better than solid dishes — a practical consideration for pole, tower, and rooftop mounts exposed to wind, ice, and snow. The IP54 rating and -40°C to +70°C operating range confirm it is built for year-round outdoor operation in Canadian conditions.
A single Gigabit Ethernet cable running passive PoE (12–28V) from the included PoE injector is all that is needed to power and connect the unit. At 5W maximum consumption, the LHG 5 ax is among the most energy-efficient 5 GHz outdoor units available — relevant for solar-powered remote sites and battery-backed installations.
When the 20 km range of the standard LHG 5 ax is not enough, the LHG XL 5 ax (27 dBi, up to 30 km) is the direct upgrade path — same platform, same RouterOS v7, same installation process, more antenna gain.
Key features:
- 24.5 dBi integrated grid antenna — 5 GHz directional, capable of PtP links up to 20 km in ideal conditions

- CPU temperature monitor
- RouterOS v7, License Level 3 — wireless bridge, PtP and PtMP modes, VLAN, firewall, traffic shaping, SNMP — no subscriptions, free updates for life (minimum 5 years)
- FCC, IC, CE, EAC, RoHS certified — fully approved for Canadian deployments
- Tested ambient temperature -40°C to +70°C, MTBF ~100,000 hours at 25°C
In the box: 24V 0.38A power adapter, K-LHG mounting kit, Gigabit PoE injector, 2× hose clamps.
Ideal for: point-to-point building-to-building wireless bridges up to 20 km; WISP last-mile CPE at standard deployment distances; remote site connectivity where fiber or cable is unavailable; farm and rural property internet sharing; Canadian outdoor deployments requiring FCC/IC certification and weather resistance down to -40°C; and budget-conscious deployments where the 24.5 dBi LHG 5 ax provides all the range needed and the LHG XL 5 ax upgrade is not required.
