RouterBOARD hAP
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.
Connecting
• Connect your Internet cable to port 1, and local network PCs to ports 2-5
• Set your computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP)
• Wireless “access point” mode is enabled by default, you can connect to the wireless network name which
starts with “MikroTik”.
• 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.
• We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the latest
version to ensure the best performance and stability.
• Choose your country, to apply country regulation settings and set up your password in the screen that
loads.
Powering
The board accepts power 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 8-30 V DC
• first Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet 10-30 V DC
The power consumption under maximum load can reach 5 W
Configuration
Once logged in, we recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button in the QuickSet menu, as updating your
RouterOS software to the latest version ensures the best performance and stability. For wireless models, please
make sure you have selected the country where the device will be used, to conform with local regulations.
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest
starting here 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).
For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device from the network, see a section Reset button.
Mounting
Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the device
and your body. Operation of this equipment in the residential environment could cause radio interference.
Extension Slots and Ports
• Five individual 10/100 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.
• One Integrated Wireless 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n, 2x2 MIMO with two onboard PIF antennas, max gain 1.5 dBi
• One USB type A slot
• The Ether5 port supports PoE output for powering other RouterBOARD devices. The port 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 0.58 A (So provided 24 V
PSU will provide 22 V/0.58 A output to the Ether5 PoE port).
