Review on Wi-Fi router MikroTik hAP ac2, black by Adam Woniak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

At now, it is set up as a wireless access point (using the reliable POE technology). Combining with the MikroTik hEX S. Here, when making the bridge and connecting all the ports to it, I had to do a serious facepalm. After implementing the Wizard settings, Winbox stopped showing up and nothing would go through Quick Setup. This model (and the earlier white hAP) suggests that you may find many answers to common problems on the Internet, which can be used to demonstrate your eagerness to learn about technological developments.

Pros
  • Fast Setup lets you connect the provided cable from your service provider from your mobile device. For me, it's a program I downloaded from Apple's app store. If you need your home devices to be able to talk to one another, having speed of 400-480 Mbps at 5GHz is a huge plus. A POE input means that the cost of neighbors in that filling is significantly higher. LED lights with a toggle switch. a million billion permutations of configurations and extremely granular adjustment. Winbox, RouterOS, and the MikroTik iOS are the best network configuration tools I've seen so far; they're all very straightforward and easy to use, although they do require some familiarity with networking concepts. Including mount. Slip-resistant base. As the specifications also show 1000 Mbps ports, I hooked up my Apple TV to one of them and promptly forgot what buffering means in the context of streaming video.
Cons
  • While doing nothing, 70-80% of RAM is in use. A trial is required, and it shouldn't be too disruptive to your work schedule. Instructions for a not-so-obvious method of resetting to factory defaults. After holding for 20 seconds, mine reset and restarted (additional procedures are outlined in the "instructions"). Not a network expert here, just a regular person. doesn't keep time properly (but this is purely a nitpick). I hope the firmware update will cure the freezing issues I've been experiencing since I acquired the device in July 2022; they started occurring in January 2022. The logs do not indicate any warnings or faults that would explain the freezing.
