This access point provides coverage for your garden or porch and can be used to extend coverage or set up a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

In this blog, we’ll provide a quick overview of everything you need to know about the MikroTik wAP ax, a powerful Wi-Fi 6 access point built for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Why wAP ax is the Best Choice for Outdoor Wi-Fi?

The MikroTik wAP ax offers all the advantages of Wi-Fi 6—the latest wireless standard that delivers up to 90% faster speeds on the 2.4 GHz band and 40% faster on the 5 GHz band.

It also features WPA3 encryption, ensuring your network remains secure from brute-force attacks.

This dual-band access point ensures seamless connectivity for all your devices, reducing interference and enhancing overall performance.

Built to Last: Weatherproof and Durable Design

The wAP ax (wAPG-5HaxD2HaxD) is designed to perform reliably, whether installed indoors or outdoors. Its weatherproof design resists harsh conditions like rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, making it perfect for outdoor environments.

At the same time, its vandal-resistant casing ensures that the unit is protected from physical damage, even in busy public spaces.

Whether used in parks, gas stations, or even inside commercial buildings, the wAP ax offers the durability needed for high-traffic areas.

Simplified Network Management with CAPsMAN

Managing large networks or multiple access points across a wide area can be a hassle, but not with the wAP ax. It supports MikroTik’s CAPsMAN (Controlled Access Point System Manager), allowing for centralized management of multiple APs from a single interface.

This feature is ideal for schools, hotels, and large offices that require seamless network control without complicated setups.

Powerful Hardware and Flexible Powering Options

Equipped with a dual-core IPQ-5010 CPU and 256MB DDR3 RAM, the wAP ax handles high-bandwidth activities like streaming, gaming, and VPN connections without slowing down.

The unit also features Gigabit Ethernet ports and PoE (Power over Ethernet) support, which offers flexible powering options for easy installation.

This flexibility is beneficial for outdoor setups where traditional power outlets are unavailable.
