MikroTik cAP – Ceiling AP Dual-Chain 2.4GHz Wireless Access Point for SMB Networks

MikroTik cAP is a ceiling-mount wireless access point for public locations and hospitality environments, featuring dual-chain 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n radio and 802.3af/at PoE powering, designed for hotels, airports and shopping malls where discreet ceiling-mounted wireless coverage and low cost per access point are the primary priorities. The compact 185 mm circular enclosure blends visually into any ceiling without drawing attention, providing omnidirectional coverage across the space below.

A 4 W draw powered entirely via PoE 802.3af/at reduces installation to a single network cable per access point — no additional power outlets required at each mounting location. Everything needed for immediate deployment ships in the box: ceiling mount, PoE injector, power adapter and a complete screw and anchor kit, eliminating additional purchases before installation can begin.

cAP integrates natively with MikroTik's CAPsMAN system, which runs on any existing RouterBOARD device in the network without requiring a dedicated controller machine — a practical advantage over traditional controller software that needs separate hardware. Centralized management of all access points from a single interface eliminates per-device configuration in deployments with dozens or hundreds of APs. It also operates as a fully standalone access point with complete RouterOS level 4 functionality for smaller installations.

Recommended for hotels and hospitality businesses deploying ceiling wireless coverage at low cost per room or zone, for airports and shopping malls where AP density and discreet installation are priorities, for offices building centrally managed wireless infrastructures via CAPsMAN on existing RouterBOARD hardware, and for any environment where single-cable installation simplicity and omnidirectional ceiling coverage are the main deployment requirements.
