Review on MikroTik RBmAPL-2nD 2GHz mAP Lite Access Point: High-Performance 802.11bgn 2x2 PoE Connector by Rene Putman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Incorrect documentation. Default Configuration - Bridge Access Point

Physical Hardware: Pretty cool. The device is tiny. The built-in magnet and sticky pad are a nice touch. The design of the ethernet port makes it a bit awkward to carry around in your pocket/bag as it can get snagged. I wasted a lot of time on this because I wanted to set it up before putting it online. Finally, you tried a Windows machine and its Winbox utility to find out that the IP address is not set by default. Resetting the configuration was a waste of time because it uses bridge access point mode and a DHCP client by default. Some pain because you can't expect to set up this device on the network without a Windows computer and its Winbox utility or DHCP server. The rest is similar to standard routers. Extensive customization options, a few quick setup modes (router, access point) and a large list of items to configure.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
