MIKROTIK MTK HAP AC Instructions

hAP ac

The hAP is a simple home wireless access point. It is configured out of the box, you can simply plug in your internet
cable and start using wireless internet. We recommend you to set up a password to secure your device.

Powering

The board accepts powering from the power jack or from the first Ethernet port (Passive PoE):

 direct-input power jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 11-57 V DC.
 first Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet accepts 11-57 V DC (compensate for loss on

cable, so more than 12 V recommended).

The power consumption under maximum load can reach 5W.

Connecting

1. Connect your Internet cable to port 1, and local network devices to ports 2-5.

2. Set your computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP).

3. Wireless “access point” mode is enabled by default, connect to the wireless network that begins with
“MikroTik”.

4. Default IP address from the local network is 192.168.88.1, open this address in your web browser to start
configuration. The username is admin and there is no password.

5. The Ether5 port supports PoE output for powering other RouterBOARD devices.

We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the latest version
to ensure the best performance and stability. RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is
described in this document. We suggest to visit the RouterOS documentation page to get yourself accustomed to
the possibilities: http://mt.lv/help.

In case IP connection is not available, the Winbox tool (http://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC
address of the device from the LAN side (all access is blocked from the internet port by default).

It is possible to boot the device from network, for reinstalling RouterOS for recovery purposes. This can be done
from the first Ethernet port. See section Buttons and jumpers for more information.

Extension slots and ports

 Five individual 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction

(Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices.

 Integrated Wireless 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, simultaneous triple band radio with onboard

antennas, max gain 2.5 dBi.

The Ether 5 port supports PoE output for powering other RouterBOARD devices. It has an auto detection feature,
so you can connect Laptops and other non-PoE devices without damaging them. The PoE on Ether5 outputs
approximately 2 V below input voltage, and supports up to 0.7 A (So provided 24 V PSU will provide 22 V 0.7 A
output to the Ether 5 PoE port).

Buttons and jumpers

The reset button has the following functions:

 Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS

configuration (total 5 seconds).

 Keep holding for 5 more seconds, LED turns solid, release now to turn on CAP mode. The device will now

look for a CAPsMAN server (total 10 seconds).

 Or Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds until until LED turns off, then release it to make the

RouterBOARD look for Netinstall servers (total 15 seconds).

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed
before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.

Operating system support

The device supports RouterOS software with the version number at or above what is indicated in the RouterOS
menu /system resource. Other operating systems have not been tested.
