Router Mikrotik RBD25G-5HPacQD2HPnD 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac

Audience by MikroTik is a tri-band home access point combining one 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz radios with meshing technology to deliver fast, reliable Wi‑Fi across large premises. The RBD25G-5HPacQD2HPnD model supports IEEE 802.11n/ac standards and offers up to 1733 Mbit/s wireless throughput. It includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and a compact white design suitable for residential installations. Setup is done via the MikroTik iOS or Android app, which guides you through a quick configuration and lets multiple Audience units sync with a button press to create a single seamless network.

Advantages

Tri-band radios (one 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz) with meshing capability provide broad coverage and flexible channel allocation to reduce interference. A single unit can cover very large areas in favourable conditions, and additional Audience units join the network easily to expand coverage. Built-in PoE simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter while dual Gigabit Ethernet ports support wired devices. The unit follows IEEE 802.11n and 802.11ac standards and delivers a combined maximum wireless data rate of 1733 Mbit/s.

Suitable for

• Large homes and multi-room residences
• Buildings with many physical obstacles where extended coverage is required
• Mixed device environments needing separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels
• Installations where PoE simplifies placement and cabling

How to use

Install the Audience unit in a central location or where coverage is needed and connect it to power or PoE-capable switch. Download the MikroTik app on an iOS or Android device and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the access point and complete the initial setup. To extend coverage, power on additional Audience units and press the sync button to integrate them into the same mesh network; the app can also assist with placement and status monitoring. Connect wired devices to the Gigabit Ethernet ports as required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, place units in open areas away from large metal objects and microwave sources, keep a mix of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz client allocation (use 5 GHz for high-bandwidth devices like TVs or PCs), and add more Audience units to cover complex floor plans or buildings with heavy interference.
