hAP ax lite

Currently one of the best, newest, Mikrotik routers in small “lite” form factor. There are some cheaper older models that probably work just as well, but this has the current RouterOS 7 (hopefully many years of support) and ax WiFi. Sadly 2.4GHz only though. I'm really just using this as a WiFi bridge for a wired Ethernet copy machine, but Mikrotik is actually great for this: the “station-pseudobridge” mode works at Layer 2 and means Bonjour/mDNS works without issue. (Make sure to update the OS! This mode was only recently added to ROS 7.) Configuring Router OS is quite complicated however. It has tons of fantastic features, but is not very user friendly. Do some research about Router OS before buying a Mikrotik device.

Love it. Great value and performance as a small firewall and 2.4Ghz 802.11AX. Travel ready if you want. Works seamlessly with other MikroTik APs. I'm past the initial learning curve, so config was easy and identical my other units. The mAP is smaller, but not AX, so this is my new go to travel router

So far, this little beauty has been rock solid. I'm using it in station bridge mode to connect my HDHomeRun to my main mikrotik router since I can't run ethernet to it. Works great!

The unit died within 5 months of installation. Could not reset to factory settings. Pinepeaks issued me an RMA, tested the unit, and offered to replace it. Since this particular model was backordered, I got a free upgrade to the hAX-2.

Main drawback is poor wireless range from the device. It caps at 16dBm tx power. Even a cheap gl inet ar300m can do 21dbm. A little too low for my liking. However this is still very good as a wired router without taking WiFi into account. Usb c is nice and convenient. Arm cpu architecture means this is easy to set up with zero tier and WireGuard for remote management and snmp polling

Excelente dispositivo, se configuro sin problemas

Muy bueno

Good equipment, a bit difficult for beginners, but with a wide range of configurations you can do everything you want on a highly recommended Mikrotik device.

Un router pequeño, con 4 puertos Ethernet Gigabit y con Wifi AX en la banda de 2.4 GHz. Para empezar e iniciarse con los Mikrotik es una gran compra. Viene ya preconfigurado y listo para funcionar, pero se pueden hacer configuraciones personalizadas y muy avanzadas que con los routers normales no se pueden ni soñar. Hace falta un conocimiento amplio en redes para sacarle todo el partido.

As long as you just go with the defaults, this works quite well. I turned off the WiFi and just use it as a gateway. WARNING!!! Unless you are an IT specialist in complicated routing details, you might not want to dig too deeply into this unit. It really is a full bore router in a very small package. With almost any aspect of it to be configured and fiddled with to the heart's content of the geekiest among us, it would be overwhelming to an average person. The simple set up process (relatively) and the defaults are enough to use it for the home.

C'è poco da dire sui prodotti Mikrotik, ma ci vuole molta competenza per configurarlo.

Love mikrotik gear, simply put there is a learning curve to these devices, don't buy unless your willing to put in the hours of looking up how to do stuff with these devices. This particular item is great if you need to take a wireless network wherever you go.

Se si sa cosa si sta comprando e si capisce qualcisa di reti, è perfetto!! Non adatto a chi non conosce niente di reti
