MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

Forged for the Horizon: The Relentless Power of MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

Distance has always been the enemy of wireless networks. Wind, rain, interference, and sheer emptiness between two points conspire to weaken signals and erode stability. The  MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM exists to confront that reality head on. Not politely. Not cautiously. But with unapologetic force.

This is not a decorative access point. It is an industrial grade wireless instrument carved from aluminum, tuned for precision, and designed to operate where failure is not an option. Towers, rooftops, remote facilities, harsh climates—this is its natural habitat.

MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

The MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM is a high power 5GHz wireless device built for long distance point to point and point to multipoint links. It combines raw transmission strength with RouterOS intelligence, housed inside an IP66rated aluminum enclosure that feels more like machinery than networking hardware.

Operating exclusively in the 5GHz spectrum, MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM avoids the congestion and chaos of 2.4GHz environments. It speaks the language of modern wireless—802.11a/n/ac—and does so with authority.

This device is modular by design. The NMale antenna connector allows pairing with high gain directional antennas, transforming NetMetal 5 into a precision tool capable of spanning kilometers with disciplined accuracy.

Key Features of MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

Every feature of the MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM serves a tactical purpose. Nothing is ornamental. Nothing is wasted.

• High power wireless output reaching up to 1300mW
• 5GHzonly operation for cleaner spectrum usage
• Dualchain wireless architecture for improved throughput and stability
• AR9342 CPU running at 720MHz, optimized for routing and wireless processing
• Generous 128MB RAM and 128MB NAND storage
• Gigabit Ethernet port ensuring wiredside performance parity
• SFP port (1.25G) for fiberbased backhaul connections
• miniPCIe expansion slot for additional wireless or LTE modules
• USB 2.0 port for storage or auxiliary devices
• Passive PoE input with additional PoEout on Ether1
• Rugged IP66 aluminum enclosure built to resist dust, water, and impact
• Wide operating temperature range from 40°C to +70°C

This feature set positions the MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM as a flexible, scalable platform rather than a single purpose device.

Benefits of Using MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

The most obvious benefit is distance. When paired with the right antenna, the MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM can bridge vast physical gaps with remarkable consistency. Rural links, industrial campuses, surveillance backbones, and ISP distribution nodes all benefit from its long range capability.

Another advantage lies in signal discipline. High output power is only useful when controlled properly. RouterOS allows meticulous adjustment of transmit power, channel width, modulation rates, and frequency selection. This prevents unnecessary noise while extracting maximum performance.

Durability is a quieter benefit, but no less critical. The aluminum enclosure acts as both armor and heat sink. It shrugs off solar radiation, driving rain, ice, and airborne debris without thermal panic or signal drift.

There is also architectural freedom. With Ethernet, SFP, USB, and expansion options, MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM adapts to evolving network topologies rather than forcing redesigns.

How to Boost Wireless Distance with MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM

Distance is not achieved by power alone. It is engineered.

Start with antenna selection. The NMale connector supports a wide range of directional antennas—dish, sector, or yagi. Gain, beamwidth, and polarization must align with the deployment goal.

Next comes frequency planning. The NetMetal 5 operates across 5150–5875 MHz, providing ample room to avoid interference. Narrower channel widths often yield better long distance stability than brute force wide channels.

Finetune modulation and data rates. Locking lower MCS rates can dramatically improve link reliability over extreme distances.

Elevation matters. Clear line of sight remains nonnegotiable. Fresnel zone clearance often determines success or failure more than transmit power.

The MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM rewards those who respect physics and punishes careless installations with equal honesty.

Combine with MikroTik’s products for Monitoring

Visibility is power. When paired with MikroTik’s Dude, the NetMetal 5 becomes part of a living, observable network ecosystem.

The Dude allows realtime monitoring of bandwidth usage, signal strength, latency, and device health. Alerts can be configured for voltage drops, interface failures, or unusual traffic patterns.

For long distance wireless links, this insight is invaluable. Environmental changes, alignment drift, or interference spikes are detected early—before they escalate into outages.

Together, MikroTik NetMetal 5 RB922UAGS-5HPacD-NM and The Dude form a feedback loop: performance observed, adjustments applied, stability restored.
