MikroTik hAP ac – Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router for SOHO Networks

The MikroTik hAP ac is the most fully featured dual-band access point for home and office use in the MikroTik lineup — an AC1750 AP with triple-chain operation on both bands simultaneously, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, an SFP port for fiber connectivity, passive PoE output on port 5, and 3G/4G modem support via USB, all running RouterOS v7. Integrated omnidirectional antennas and high transmission power ensure solid coverage in apartments, offices, and public spaces without external antennas or additional hardware.

The 3x3 triple-chain configuration on 5 GHz with the QCA9880 chipset delivers data rates up to 1300 Mbps AC — comparable to entry-level enterprise equipment — while three chains on 2.4 GHz provide up to 450 Mbps for maximum compatibility with legacy 802.11b/g/n devices. Dual-concurrent AC1750 operation enables complete traffic separation between bands without compromising either. The SFP port adds fiber optic connectivity or GPON module support for direct integration into optical infrastructure — a unique feature within the hAP family.

Gigabit port 5 delivers passive PoE output at up to 700 mA for powering a RouterBOARD device or other passive PoE equipment without a separate adapter. The USB type A port supports a 3G/4G modem for backup internet connectivity or external storage. The QCA9558 CPU at 720 MHz and 128 MB RAM run complete RouterOS v7 — the current major version with improvements in routing, firewall, and wireless management over v6. Dual power input via DC jack at 11-57V or passive PoE covers any installation scenario.

It is the right fit for offices and home environments needing the highest-performing AP in the hAP lineup with triple-chain AC1750, Gigabit on all ports, and an SFP port for fiber uplink, for networks where PoE output on port 5 powers a secondary device without a separate injector, for administrators running RouterOS v7 who need an AP with complete routing, firewall, and VPN functionality, and for larger spaces where triple-chain operation and high transmit power make a measurable difference over dual-chain alternatives.
