MikroTik hAP RouterBOARD 5-Port WiFi Router with PoE

MikroTik hAP RouterBOARD — 5-Port WiFi Router | PoE In & PoE Out | 2.4GHz | RouterOS Level 4

The MikroTik hAP RouterBOARD is a powerful, compact, and affordable 5-port wireless router that stands out from its siblings with a critical advantage: both PoE input and PoE output. This means the hAP can be powered over Ethernet from an upstream switch or injector (PoE in), while simultaneously powering a connected device such as an outdoor access point or IP camera from its dedicated PoE out port — all with no additional power adapters required at the installation point.

Running RouterOS Level 4 on a 650MHz QCA9531 CPU with 64MB RAM, the hAP delivers enterprise-grade routing, hotspot, VPN, and bandwidth management in a clean desktop form factor. Available at UGX 180,000 (regular price UGX 220,000), it’s an excellent choice for ISP CPE deployments, hotspot gateways, and small office networks across Uganda. Pair your hAP deployment with our ISP Billing System for automated subscriber management, invoicing, and bandwidth control across your entire network.

Key Features

• 5 × 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Ports: 1 × Internet/WAN (with PoE in), 3 × LAN, 1 × PoE out — for powering a connected downstream device
• PoE Input: Power the hAP itself over Ethernet from an upstream PoE switch or injector — no power socket needed at the installation point
• PoE Output (Port 5): Power a connected outdoor AP, IP camera, or MikroTik device directly from this port — no separate injector required
• Built-in 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n WiFi: Reliable wireless coverage for subscriber premises and hotspot locations
• RouterOS Level 4: Full routing, hotspot server, firewall, QoS queue trees, VPN (PPTP, L2TP, IPsec), VLAN, and bandwidth management
• 650MHz QCA9531 CPU / 64MB RAM: Handles NAT, hotspot authentication, firewall, and basic VPN without performance degradation
• WPS Button: Fast and easy wireless device pairing for subscriber premises deployments
• LED Status Indicators: Real-time visual monitoring of power, wireless, and port status
• Compact Desktop Design: 10–28V DC or PoE in power — flexible deployment anywhere
• Low Power Consumption: Efficient for 24/7 ISP CPE and hotspot operation

The PoE In + PoE Out Advantage for ISP Deployments

What sets the MikroTik hAP apart from the hAP lite is its dual PoE capability. In a typical ISP CPE installation scenario:

• The hAP is powered via PoE in from a PoE switch or the MikroTik RBGPOE PoE Injector — no power socket needed at the subscriber’s installation point
• Simultaneously, the hAP outputs PoE on port 5 to power a small outdoor access point or IP camera mounted on the exterior of the building
• This creates a clean, two-device chain — injector → hAP (indoor) → outdoor AP — powered by a single Ethernet cable run from the distribution point

This PoE chain capability makes the hAP one of the most practical and cost-effective CPE routers for ISP last-mile deployments across Uganda and East Africa.

Ideal Use Cases

• ISP subscriber CPE — All-in-one indoor WiFi router that also powers a small outdoor access point via PoE out
• WiFi hotspot gateway — RouterOS Hotspot server for voucher-based or subscription WiFi billing at hotels, shops, and campuses
• PPPoE client/server — Manage subscriber broadband sessions with PPPoE termination
• Bandwidth management — Per-subscriber speed control via RouterOS queue trees
• Small office all-in-one — Router, firewall, WiFi, and PoE out in one compact device
• IP camera power node — Use PoE out port 5 to power a PoE IP camera without a separate injector
