hAP ac²

hAP ac²

The hAP is a simple home wireless access point. It is already configured, you can simply plug in your ISP cable and start using wireless internet. We recommend you set up a password to secure your device.

Powering

The device accepts power from the power jack or from the first Ethernet port (Passive PoE):

  • direct-input power jack (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 12-30 V DC
  • first Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet accepts 18-28 V DC (compensate for the loss on cable, so more than 12V recommended)

The power consumption under maximum load can reach 15 W.

Setup

  1. Connect your internet cable to the first port, and, if you have wired devices, connect them to the other ports
  2. Set your computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP).
  3. From your PC or smartphone, connect to the wireless network name which starts with “MikroTik”.
  4. Once connected to the wireless network, open https://192.168.88.1 in your web browser to start configuration, since there is no password by default, you will be logged in
    automatically. Set up your password on the screen that loads. Please also specify your country, to make sure local regulations are observed.

Configuration

We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the latest version to ensure the best performance and stability. RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest starting here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities: https://mt.lv/help. In case an IP connection is not available, the Winbox tool (https://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side (all access is blocked from the internet port by default). For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device from the network, see section Buttons and jumpers.

Extension slots and ports

  • The Ethernet ports are connected through a switch chip, can be configured individually, and support automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices.
  • The integrated wireless module supports AP/CPE/P2P/Repeater modes.

Buttons and jumpers

RouterBOOT reset button has the following functions:

  • Hold the button before powering on the device, and at power-up, the button will force load the backup boot loader. Continue holding the button for the other two functions of this button.
  • Release the button when the green LED starts flashing, to reset the RouterOS configuration. To not load the backup boot loader, you can start holding the button after power is already applied.
  • Release the button after LED is no longer flashing (~20 seconds) to cause the device to look for Netinstall servers (required for reinstalling RouterOS over the network).

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.

Operating system support

The device supports RouterOS software with the version number at or above what is indicated in the RouterOS menu /system resource. Other operating systems have not been tested.
