MikroTik hAP lite – Wi-Fi Router for SOHO Networks

The MikroTik hAP lite is a 2.4 GHz wireless access point for home and small office use, built for straightforward internet distribution with four Ethernet ports, microUSB power, and WPS support for quick device connection without manually entering a password. Compatible with CAPsMAN — MikroTik's centralized access point management system — the hAP lite can join a centrally managed wireless network with a single button press, without any additional manual configuration.

The dual-chain 802.11b/g/n transmitter delivers data rates up to 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz at just 3.5W powered via microUSB 5V — compatible with any standard phone charger or power bank. Four Fast Ethernet ports — one more than the hAP mini — cover small office or apartment topologies where multiple wired devices need simultaneous connection. The QCA9533 CPU at 650 MHz and 32 MB RAM run complete RouterOS Level 4 with firewall, bandwidth shaping, user access control, and all other available features.

The WPS button allows wireless devices to connect without typing a password — useful in home environments or reception areas where quick guest access is frequently needed. The mode button enables switching to cAP mode for CAPsMAN infrastructure integration without accessing the RouterOS interface. The tested operating range of -20°C to +60°C confirms stable performance in typical home and office environments.

It is the right fit for home users or apartments needing a simple access point with four Ethernet ports and WPS at the lowest price in the hAP lineup, for small offices where CAPsMAN enables future wireless network expansion without manually reconfiguring each access point, for first-time MikroTik users where basic functionality is immediately available and RouterOS remains open for advanced configurations, and for home networks where microUSB power and compact size are practical advantages over traditional routers.
