Meet the SXTsq 5 ax — our first Wi-Fi 6 outdoor CPE, combining the best wireless technology with our trusted, compact SXTsq form factor.
Despite the upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 and a modern ARM-based dual- core CPU, this unit keeps the same price point as our previous Wi-Fi 5 model — making it one of the best-value weatherproof CPEs on the market.
The enclosure can withstand all sorts of unpredictable weather hazards, and it features slots for directly attaching a hose clamp in three different mounting positions, including support for horizontal railings — ideal for masts and poles in rooftop or tower deployments.
Field-tested up to 3 km in high-interference, urban scenarios. Designed with the same trusted long-range architecture as previous SXT models — capable of 10+ km links in line-of-sight deployments.
With RouterOS license level 4, the SXTsq 5 ax isn’t just a client — it can also be configured as a powerful access point, giving you more flexibility in planning your wireless infrastructure. And thanks to its compact square shape, it fits neatly into even the most space- sensitive deployments.

- All tests are done with Xena Networks specialized test equipment (XenaBay),and done according to RFC2544 (Xena2544)
- Max throughput is determined with 30+ second attempts with 0,1% packet loss tolerance in 64, 512, 1518 byte packet sizes
- Test results show device maximum performance, and are reached using mentioned hardware and software configuration, different configurations most likely will result in lower results
