Mikrotik HAP AC Lite Router [RB952Ui-5ac2nD]

Description

Key Features

Performance & Hardware

• Dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac): Simultaneously broadcasts on 2.4 GHz (up to ~300 Mbps with 2×2 chains) and 5 GHz (up to ~433 Mbps with 1×1 chain), providing AC750-class throughput.

• CPU & Memory: Single-core 650 MHz CPU with 64 MB RAM and 16 MB flash storage – enough for basic routing, AP, and management tasks.

• RouterOS Level 4: Full MikroTik RouterOS included with advanced networking features (routing, firewall, VLANs, QoS, CAPsMAN compatibility).

Networking & Connectivity

• 5 × Fast Ethernet Ports (10/100 Mbps): Support local wired devices; one port (#5) supports Passive PoE-out to power another device (up to ~500 mA).

• USB 2.0 Port: For connecting 3G/4G USB modems or USB storage.

• Power Options: Can be powered via DC jack or Passive PoE, offering installation flexibility.

Design & Installation

• Compact Form Factor: Small indoor unit suitable for desktop, wall mount, or shelf installation.

• Passive Cooling: Fanless design for silent operation.

Typical Use Cases

• Home Wi-Fi Router/AP: WiFi for smartphones, laptops, smart devices.

• Small Office Networking: Simple routing + wireless coverage for small teams.

• PoE-Powered Devices: Can power passive PoE cameras or access points (matching voltage).

• USB Modem Support: Useful for backup 3G/4G connectivity or storage.

Notes & Considerations

• Ethernet Speed: Ports are 10/100 Mbps only, so network speeds above ~100 Mbps won’t fully use faster broadband.

• Entry-Level Wi-Fi: Suitable for moderate usage; heavy multi-device 5 GHz performance is limited by the single chain design.
