MikroTik hAP be lite – Wi-Fi 7 Router and Access Point for SOHO and SMB Networks

The MikroTik hAP be lite is a Wi-Fi 7 router and access point for small offices, SOHO networks, and advanced users who need modern wireless performance at an accessible price point. It serves as a central connectivity hub in environments with high wireless device density, where connection stability and network control are equally important. The combination of Wi-Fi 7 and full RouterOS functionality delivers real network management without subscriptions or locked features.

The device is powered by a dual-core ARM CPU at 950 MHz with 512 MB DDR3 RAM, capable of handling advanced routing, VPN, and simultaneous traffic management. The dual-band Wi-Fi 7 radio with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) covers 2.4 GHz (dual-chain, 4.4 dBi, 688 Mbps) and 5 GHz (triple-chain, 7 dBi, 2882 Mbps) in BE3600 class — maintaining stable connections even in congested wireless environments. On the wired side, three Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 2.5G port support workstations, NAS devices, and high-speed uplinks. Maximum power consumption of 12W and USB-C powering simplify placement in virtually any location.

The hAP be lite runs RouterOS v7 (License level 4), providing full access to VLANs, VPN, advanced firewall, QoS, scripting, and CAPsMAN for centralized management of multiple MikroTik access points. No artificial limitations — complete configuration is available from day one. USB-C powering enables use with PoE-to-USB adapters such as the GPOE-USB, extending installation flexibility without a dedicated power outlet.

Recommended for power users, network administrators, and small businesses seeking Wi-Fi 7 capabilities with granular RouterOS control, without the cost of enterprise hardware. The hAP be lite is well suited for offices, co-working spaces, residential deployments, and flexible installations where portability, low power draw, and modern wireless standards are the priority.
