MikroTik hAP ac lite TC – Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router for SOHO / SMB Networks

The MikroTik hAP ac lite TC is a dual-band dual-concurrent access point for home and small office use, transmitting simultaneously on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with 802.11ac support, five Ethernet ports with PoE output on port 5, and 3G/4G modem support via USB. The universal enclosure supports horizontal desktop or vertical tower positioning with an included wall mount kit — the same installation flexibility as the hAP ac², at a more accessible price for SOHO networks with moderate performance requirements.

Dual-concurrent AC750 operation — 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz dual-chain and 433 Mbps on 5 GHz single-chain — enables traffic separation between older and modern AC-capable devices without inter-band interference. Port 5 delivers passive PoE output at up to 500 mA for direct powering of an IP phone, camera, or other passive PoE device without a separate injector. The USB type A port with power reset supports a 3G/4G modem for backup internet connectivity or external storage managed through RouterOS Level 4.

The QCA9531 CPU at 650 MHz and 64 MB RAM run complete RouterOS Level 4 with firewall, routing, bandwidth shaping, and remote management. Dual power input via DC jack at 10-28V or passive PoE provides installation flexibility. The tested operating range of -30°C to +70°C confirms stable performance in home and office environments. The 34x119x98mm dimensions are identical to the hAP ac², sharing the same K-47 wall mount kit included in the package.

It is the right fit for small offices and home use where dual-band AC and PoE output on one port replace a separate AP and PoE injector at reduced cost, for SOHO networks with moderate traffic where AC750 and Fast Ethernet meet requirements without paying for Gigabit or IPsec hardware, for backup internet scenarios via 3G/4G modem where the USB port ensures connection continuity, and for users seeking a dual-band AP in a universal desktop/tower/wall enclosure at the most accessible price in the hAP ac lineup.
