The MikroTik cAP ax is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (AX1800) ceiling access point with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE-in and PoE-out.

It runs RouterOS v7 on a quad-core 1.8 GHz CPU with 1 GB of RAM, enough for firewalling, IPsec hardware encryption, WireGuard and VPN tunnels. It supports WPA3, OWE and 802.11r roaming, and many units can be managed centrally with CAPsMAN. Port 2 can power another device with passive PoE.

Key features

  • 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax, 2 chains, up to 574 Mbit/s, 6 dBi
  • 5 GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax, 2 chains, up to 1200 Mbit/s, 5.5 dBi
  • 2 x Gigabit Ethernet, with 802.3af/at PoE-in and passive PoE-out on port 2
