Your WiFi, finally invisible and powerful
Forget bulky devices that spoil the overall look. The MikroTik cAP RBcAP-2nD is a master of camouflage. As an elegant WiFi Ceiling AP, it seamlessly blends into any environment, be it your stylish office, a cozy café, or your home. But don't let its discretion fool you: Inside, a powerful 2.4 GHz WiFi Access Point delivers a stable and fast connection. Enjoy a tidy ambiance and excellent connectivity at the same time – without compromise. This Indoor Access Point is the perfect choice for environments where you need discrete and efficient WiFi coverage, such as in hotels, shopping centers, or educational institutions.
Maximum Control with CAPsMAN: Your Network in Hand
What truly distinguishes the MikroTik cAP RBcAP-2nD is its seamless integration into MikroTik's CAPsMAN (Controlled AP System Manager). You can centrally manage a variety of these WiFi Access Points via a single MikroTik RouterBOARD. No separate controller hardware, no additional software on a PC – this not only saves costs but also significantly simplifies the configuration and maintenance of your entire Network. Create guest networks, set bandwidth limits, or monitor utilization – all from a central point. This way, you always have your WiFi under control, ideal for professional Central WiFi Management in your company or your Hospitality WiFi solution.
Installation Made Easy: Thanks to PoE!
The nightmare of cable clutter and countless power outlets is a thing of the past. The MikroTik cAP RBcAP-2nD supports 802.3af/at PoE Access Point (Power over Ethernet). For you, this means: A single Ethernet cable is sufficient to supply the access point with power and data. Installation becomes child's play, whether on the ceiling or on the wall, as a complete mounting kit is included. This not only saves you time and nerves but also the costs for additional power adapters and complex Cabling. This PoE capability significantly increases placement flexibility and makes the installation of this MikroTik Access Point particularly easy.
Robustness You Can Rely On
This WiFi Access Point is designed for continuous operation. With its robust QCA9533 CPU at 650 MHz and 64 MB RAM, it offers reliable performance, even under demanding conditions. The wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C guarantees functionality in almost any environment. Trust in proven MikroTik quality and experience WiFi that simply works and delights you – day after day, year after year. With RouterOS Level 4, you also get a powerful and flexible operating system that leaves nothing to be desired.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Central management with CAPsMAN allows control of all MikroTik Access Point devices from a central location, without the need for separate PC/Mac software.
- Pro: Discrete design and easy installation thanks to an inconspicuous ceiling AP design and a complete mounting kit including PoE Injector and power adapter.
- Pro: Flexible power supply via PoE (802.3af/at and Passive PoE 11-57V) simplifies placement and reduces Cabling.
- Pro: Stable and proven 2.4 GHz WiFi coverage with 802.11b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4) and Dual-Chain Wireless for reliable connectivity.
- Note: Exclusively supports the 2.4 GHz Band and the older WiFi standard 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4), which may lead to limitations in high-density environments or when higher speeds are required.
- Note: The access point only has a 10/100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet port, which can be a bottleneck for maximum throughput, even if the WiFi speed is up to 300 Mbit/s.
