Thanks Mike, I concur with your thoughts about it being bleeding edge and quite honestly I don't think it's needed really, I suppose though really I just wanted to sell the customer Mikrotik rather than Netgear or DLink, unfortunately if I don't sell him something he will go with one of those anyway, marketing hype sells anything !

It is next to impossible that routerOS dev will release drivers for non-MikroTik hardware before the mikrotik branded devices were available. My expectation is that ac release will follow approximate path of 11n support in mikrotik - 802.11n support became available only about 12 months after the standard was eventually ratified, and even then it required upgrade to a still-unstable routerOS release (early v4 from memory) Since the ac standard was really only finalised mid December last year, I wouldn't expect to see a stable release until close to the end of 2014 - probably part of routerOS 7 For those thinking of jumping in and taking on the bleeding edge right away, I urge caution - let others take the lead and let them sort out the bugs! :-) Cheers, Mike.

Hi guys, is anybody aware of wireless cards which will work in Mikrotik routers yet which use 802.11ac or are already using them ?
We have a customer looking for the "latest" technology and wants this, we use Mikrotik everywhere but I can't find anything about support for 802.11ac as yet and I really don't want to install a crappy prosumer router.
