MikroTik Chateau LTE12 - Wireless Router - WWAN - 5-Port - GigE - 802.11a/b/g/n/ac - Dual Band

Let's face it - most standard routers can't really satisfy the extremely diverse customer base - they either lack features, users want more speed and higher profit, the price is too high, or they look weird. We decided to take all the aspects that are important to most home users and create a single device that will make them happy - this is the MikroTik Chateau.

It is a high-speed dual-band access point with CAT12 LTE - for really fast internet anywhere and anytime. But LTE isn't the only option - the Chateau also has 5 x Gigabit Ethernet ports and a full-size USB port.

Strong dual-chain dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz wireless for simultaneous coverage solves most interference problems in a crowded environment. For example, a client can simultaneously use the 2.4 GHz channel for all mobile household devices and reserve the 5 GHz channel for tasks sensitive to packet loss - such as streaming high-quality videos.

Not only our RouterOS- software has robust security options, we also focus on production security. There is no outsourcing, every device is assembled on our premises and all components come from reputable, trusted partners - such as Qualcomm. We cooperate with European legislators and work hard to ensure that all necessary security policies are followed. MikroTik is all about smooth, long-term collaboration with no surprises.

Achieve speeds of up to 600 Mbps with carrier aggregation, as CAT12 allows devices to use three bands simultaneously. This is a big advantage when there are many LTE users in the area. Chateau LTE12 provides better response in a crowded environment and higher efficiency for weaker signal situations in rural areas.

Depending on the service provider, we have seen internet speeds double in rural areas after switching to carrier aggregation, so there is no need to wait for cable network expansions.

Explanation of frequency bands

When choosing an antenna, pay attention to which frequency bands the antenna supports. Depending on which operator and where the antenna will be used, the frequency bands vary. Larger cities use 2600MHz while smaller towns use 800/900MHz with some support bands in between such as 1800/2100MHz.

A higher frequency band gives a higher speed but also has a shorter range. The same applies to the antenna, if you have a base station that transmits on 2600MHz, your antenna, antenna cable and the location of the antenna become more important than on a lower frequency band. Explanation of signal loss we will go through soon. Higher frequency bands also mean shorter range from the base station.

450MHz (coverage band) also known as the Net1 band is the frequency band that covers the most area in Sweden. Therefore, Net1 is known to be able to have reception where other operators don´t have a chance, but with low download and upload speeds. The reason why this band is called Net1 is because that the company Net1 has exclusive rights to this frequency band.

800MHz (coverage band) is used by all common operators, excluding Net1. The low frequency band means that 800MHz covers a lot of space. Therefore, the band is used outside big cities or smaller towns. 800MHz is the most used frequency band around Europe.

900MHz (coverage band) is the band that Tele2 and Telenor initially used as coverage band. 900MHz is a more unusual LTE band and in the beginning the band caused some problems when the clients (mobile phones etc.) could not connect to 900MHz. Today, the mobile phone manufacturers have adapted the mobile phones to be able to communicate on 900MHz.

1800MHz (capacity band) is the latest frequency band launched. All operators today use this band in metropolitan centers (apart from Net1).

2600MHz (capacity band) is a very well-used frequency band all over Europe. 2600MHz is the highest frequency band used for LTE, this means that the band also has the shortest range compared to 800/900MHz. Due to the high capacity, the band is used in metropolitan environments where many base stations are required to cover as much surface as possible and have as high a capacity as possible.
