MikroTik hAP lite Review
MikroTik hAP lite or RB941 is a new small device form latvian company. It is actually the cheapest MikroTik device ever with price about $25. It's name hAP stand for Home Access Point. It's great for home enviroment, witch some exclusive features, witch costs much more!
Ports
It has 4 Ethernet ports instead 5 on RB750, and all ports are FastEthernet. Ethernet LED diods are at back.
Power Adaptor
It is a first device with 5V DC power supply. It can be powered via Power Bank battery. Your mobile phone charger can power this device. Cool right?!
Wireless Radio
It has dual chain radio, or 2x2 MIMO 802.11n @2.4 GHz. That is real advantage of this device.
You can reach up to 240Mbps in 2x2 MIMO configuration@40MHz.
Great Features
This tiny device has built in RouterOS witch has great features! For example, VPN, Bandwidth Limiter, Firewall, Access Point...
Best in $25 Category
You can't imagine that $25 device can offer so much features, for example BGP! It's small but powerful enough to make job done in enviroment without crazy amonut of bandwidth.
CAPsMAN Support
Works great as CAP in large CAPsMAN enviroment! Can provide enough wifi coverage for about 20 devices easly.
Some Cons
- Does not have POE in
- It is not dual band - no wifi @5GHz
- 5V DC power supply can be advantage but also problem to integrate into system with some batteries with higher voltage.
- WiFi adapter is not so powerfull
Last Words
Amazing device for the money. Great for beginers and people who want to learn about networking. Great as a first MikroTik device and for discovering RouterOS.
MikroTik wAP Review
New Access Point From MikroTIk
MikroTik introduces new 2x2 MIMO access point wAP2n, the successor of cAP2n. This AP is ideal for indoor and outdoor deployments, cause it can be installed on wall, ceiling or at pole for garden etc...
MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP is a small weatherproof wireless access point for mobile devices and ideal for outdoor installation, be it in the garden, on the porch or anywhere else wireless access may be required for your phone or computer.
I comes with mounting kit and special screw driver, and its case is anti-vandal, cannot be opened without it.

New Features from MikroTik
This access point supports new MikroTik wireless-rep package, witch has great new features
- wireless repeater mode
- wireless background scan
- saving wireless scan results to file
- step feature for the scan-list
CAPsMAN and wAP?
Of course it works, cause its ment to be part of CAPsMAN controller. And yes, new wireless package support CAPsMAN. Soon I will replace my cAP2n AP with this unit, cause it has two chains and i expect to work much better.

Price - Buy
Sugegested price is $45 and it is very cheap device, and with 4 of these you can cover some event with 200 people. If you plan something bigger, you should wait for dual band model, witch will be few dollars more.
Black or White
It also comes in black, so you can easly install it and match your wall colour :) It look realy good. It is very small, its smaller than you think. My opinion is that looks very attractive and modern, will not look ugly if you intstall it properly - hide cable :)
cAP vs wAP
cAP has very poor performance for todays standards. Bad anntena design, 1x1 802.11n single band with low power wlan interface. Witch cAP I can achive max 20-30Mbits real bandwidth@20mhz channel. Cause wAP has 2x2 MIMO configuration, I expect to achive at least 50Mbits. You will se test results between wAP and hAP lite - real life situation :)
Bandwidth Test
My goal here is to connect two devices at small distance, and measure bandwidth @20 and @40Mhz channel. After that, will try the same thing trough two walls. To see bandwidth and how wifi signal penetrate.
I will create separate article about bandwidth test :) Follow me :)
