MikroTik hAP ac lite 500 Mbit/s White PoE Support

Small offices and home users often struggle with slow Wi-Fi and limited wired connectivity, especially when multiple devices compete for bandwidth. The MikroTik hAP ac lite solves this by delivering dual-band 802.11ac wireless and five Fast Ethernet ports in a compact, wall-mountable enclosure. With passive PoE input and output, it can be powered over Ethernet and even power another device, simplifying cable management in tight spaces.

Who is it for

This access point is ideal for home users, small offices, and hospitality environments that need reliable dual-band Wi-Fi without investing in enterprise-grade hardware. It suits those who want to extend coverage, create a guest network, or build a small wired+wireless network with PoE flexibility. Its low power consumption and quiet, fanless design make it suitable for bedrooms, meeting rooms, or retail kiosks.

Main features

• Dual-band concurrent Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz (300 Mbit/s) and 5 GHz (433 Mbit/s) for combined 733 Mbit/s wireless throughput.
• Five 10/100 Ethernet ports, with port 1 supporting passive PoE input (10-30V) and port 5 providing passive PoE output (max 500mA) to power another device.
• Powered by RouterOS Level 4, offering advanced routing, firewall, QoS, and VPN capabilities.
• Compact white plastic housing with internal antennas; can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall.
• USB 2.0 port for 3G/4G modem sharing, storage, or other peripherals.
• Low power consumption (max 5W) and fanless operation for silent running.

Tips

To maximize coverage, mount the hAP ac lite on a wall at a central location, away from large metal objects and thick walls. Use the PoE output on port 5 to power a compatible IP camera or another access point, reducing the need for extra power outlets. For advanced configurations, access the RouterOS web interface or WinBox utility to set up VLANs, guest networks, or bandwidth limits.
