Case #1
- Situation
- Boutique hotel chain needed seamless guest WiFi across 3 properties with centralized management.
- Challenge
- 120+ access points across properties with varying building materials. Previous flat config caused roaming drops and channel interference.
- Methodology
- CAPsMAN v2 deployment with per-property provisioning groups, automatic channel selection, guest network isolation via VLANs, bandwidth management per client via simple queues.
- Result
- Zero roaming complaints from guests. Central management reduced AP configuration time from hours to minutes. 99.5% wireless uptime.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does MTCWE certification cover?
MTCWE validates 802.11 wireless expertise on MikroTik: RF theory, site surveying, CAPsMAN central management, WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise, wireless security, Nstreme/NV2, point-to-point links, and troubleshooting.
How is MTCWE different from CWNA?
MTCWE is MikroTik-specific with hands-on CAPsMAN deployment and AP management. CWNA (Certified Wireless Network Administrator) is vendor-neutral, covering broader RF theory and protocol analysis without vendor-specific implementation.
What projects require MTCWE-level expertise?
Enterprise wireless deployments, hotel/resort WiFi, warehouse wireless, point-to-point links, CAPsMAN centralized management, or any project requiring RF planning and wireless security.
How do I verify a consultant's MTCWE certification?
Verify on mikrotik.com/training/certificates using the certificate ID. MTCWE requires MTCNA as prerequisite.
Is MTCWE certification still relevant in 2025?
Yes. MikroTik's WiFi 6 (802.11ax) product line and CAPsMAN v2 make MTCWE more relevant than ever for enterprise wireless deployments.
