Chateau 5G ax

Nice, I was waiting for this. Looks like they listened to the requests (2.5G ethernet, extra SMA ports) Next question how much. £700? £800? and will ms-dist ever get them in stock? :ROFLMAO:

I guess this brand is the Rolls Royce of the router world?
Yes and no,

There's sellers on eBay that clear this stuff if you know what to look for, examples being five Mikrotik SXT R for £25 each, three wAP AC LTE6 for £60 each.

The chipset shortage is pushing up prices, my Chateau that I purchased in November is now worth £130 more than I paid for it.
 
Man I wish they had not put 2 x SMA connectors on there for "wifi". It would have been a better idea to make 2 of them for 4G and the other 2 for 5G. Sigh.

"Unlike the LTE/5G antennas, the dual-band wireless network antennas CANNOT BE REMOVED!"

lol. why?!

Possibly ax chipset specific.

The new ax chipset models are probably designed for the known mobile operator they support, and being made a general release as well:

I know I'm being difficult and a bit of a lingo nazi, but am I the only one bothered they can't correctly pronounce their own product name?

"Chateau" is not pronounced "shat too" and definitely doesn't rhyme with "two".
Lets face it they are in Latvia not France and maybe in Latvian Chateau is pronounced Chatoo ;)

In Italy my surname is pronounced very oddly. so odd if they call out my surname as they pronounce it I do not recognise it.

There is a town near me spelt Strathaven but pronounced locally as 'Strayvn', if your not a local asking for directions gets confusing.

Don't forget about Kirkcudbright kommando828. (Prounounced Kir coo bray) :giggle:

Right I'm off now to have another piece of black forest gatooo. 😁
 
I like how they argued it doesn't rhyme with 'oh' in the comments of the video. Like no mr french person, you're wrong... lol I get that things can be named oddly or not sound like they are written ... but wouldn't you investigate the name of the thing you're naming your product after?

Tempted to pick this up when it is released next month/december to replace a Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2

Quick question, do these have a modem only mode (for people who operate other microtik kit) as I want to plug it directly into a Netgear 6e orbi mesh.

Yes IP passthrough mode exists
 
Great perfect, I've found the Huwaei unable to maintain a 5g connection compared to various mobile 5g devices in the same area so am hoping the antennas and internal gubbins will sort that issue.

You can dedicate a single eth to ip passthrough, and then set the others for management etc.
 
On the Chateau LTE18 ax, two of the sma ports are wasted for WiFi 6 antennas.

Same on the Chateau 5G ax.

I'm now curious if this WiFi 6 is just a module that's been added to the existing Chateau circuit board and the old WiFi chips have been removed.

I still haven't found a teardown, I have asked someone on Reddit but they've been unable to open their lte18 ax, which is weird as the original LTE12 and 5g come apart really easily.
