hAP ac
2
The hAP is a simple home wireless access point. It is already configured, you can simply plug in your ISP cable
and start using wireless internet. We recommend you to set up a password to secure your device.
Powering
The device accepts powering from the power jack or from the first Ethernet port (Passive PoE):
•
direct-input power jack (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 12-28 V DC
•
first Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet accepts 12-28 V DC (compensate for loss on
cable, so more than 12V recommended)
The power consumption under maximum load can reach 18 W.
Setup
1. Connect your internet cable to the first port, and, if you have wired devices, connect them to the other ports
2. Set your computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP).
3. From your PC or smartphone, connect to the wireless network name which starts with “MikroTik”.
4. Once connected to the wireless network, open http://192.168.88.1 in your web browser to start
configuration
,
since there is no password by default, you will be logged in automatically. Set up your
password in the screen that loads. Please also specify your country, to make sure local regulations are
observed.
Configuration
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest to
start here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities:

. 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).
For recovery purposes, it is possible boot the device from network, see section Buttons and jumpers.
Extension slots and ports
The Ethernet ports are connected through a switch chip, can be configured individually and support
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 module which supports AP/CPE/P2P/Repeater modes.
Buttons and jumpers
RouterBOOT reset button has the following functions:
Hold the button before powering on the device, and at power up, the button will force load the backup boot
loader. Continue holding the button for the other two functions of this button.
Release the button when green LED starts flashing, to reset RouterOS configuration. To not load backup
boot loader, you can start holding the button after power is already applied.
Release the button after LED is no longer flashing (~20 seconds) to cause device to look for Netinstall
servers (required for reinstalling RouterOS over network).
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.
