MikroTik hAP ax³ Router – High-Performance WiFi 6 for SOHO & SMB

The MikroTik hAP ax³ is the most powerful dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router in the hAP lineup, designed for households and small offices that need complete wireless coverage, high speed, and advanced networking capabilities without compromise. It is widely used as a primary router in apartments and homes with many concurrent users, in small offices where VPN, advanced firewall, and complex routing are daily requirements, and in home work environments where streaming, gaming, and large media file transfers over wireless must operate simultaneously without degradation. The 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, PoE-in and PoE-out, USB 3.0, and RouterOS v7 with License Level 6 make it the most complete choice in the home access point category.

The router is built on a quad-core ARM64 IPQ-6010 running at up to 1.8 GHz with 1 GB RAM and 128 MB NAND storage, providing resources for complex firewall rules, hardware-accelerated IPsec, WireGuard, BGP, and multiple VPN tunnels without impacting wireless performance. Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 covers 2.4 GHz (574 Mbps, 3.3 dBi antenna) and 5 GHz (1200 Mbps, 5.5 dBi antenna via external RP-SMA female connectors) — with speed improvements of up to 90% on 2.4 GHz and 40% on 5 GHz compared to the previous generation. The 2.5G Ethernet port complements four Gigabit ports, while the USB 3.0 Type-A port enables external storage for file sharing or connection of an additional LTE modem.

The hAP ax³ operates as a primary router or network gateway with wireless and wired distribution, with passive PoE-out on Ether1 for powering an adjacent device and dual powering via DC jack and passive PoE-in for redundancy. Managed via RouterOS v7 (License Level 6 — the highest in the consumer lineup), it supports VPN, WPA3, IPsec, VLANs, bandwidth shaping, parental controls, and the complete advanced feature set without subscriptions or additional paywalls. European-based production and full EU regulatory compliance ensure adherence to all applicable safety and security standards.

It is recommended for households with many users requiring complete and high-performance Wi-Fi 6 coverage, remote workers needing stable VPN, IPsec, and advanced firewall capabilities on a home router, small offices seeking full RouterOS v7 functionality at License Level 6 without additional costs, and any scenario where a 2.5G port, USB 3.0 storage, and WPA3 are simultaneous requirements. An operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and CE, FCC, IC certifications confirm suitability for residential and commercial environments across Europe and North America.
