MikroTik hAP ac³ Dual-Band Home Access Point

The MikroTik hAP ac³ is a dual-band home access point that delivers wide indoor coverage, five gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE support, a quad-core CPU, and expandable storage through USB for reliable home networking.

If you're replacing an aging router or building a more capable home network, the MikroTik hAP ac³ combines a powerful hardware stack with flexible connectivity options in a compact, mountable enclosure. It pairs external high-gain antennas for extended wireless reach with wired gigabit ports for devices that require maximum throughput. The unit ships in a US version and includes a wall-mount kit so you can place it where it works best for your home layout.

How does the hAP ac³ improve wireless coverage around the house?

The hAP ac³ uses external high-gain antennas and dual-band radios to reach farther into rooms and reduce dead spots. Its antenna design focuses signal strength for more consistent performance on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

• External high-gain antennas for extended range and stronger signal.
• Dual-band support to balance range (2.4 GHz) and speed (5 GHz).
• Adjustable vertical or horizontal mounting to optimize placement.

What wired connectivity and performance can I expect?

Five gigabit Ethernet ports handle multiple wired devices like game consoles, smart TVs, and NAS without bottlenecks. A quad-core CPU and 256 MB RAM keep routing, firewall, and managed features responsive under load.

• Five Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed wired connections.
• Quad-core processor with 256 MB RAM for stable multi-device use.
• 128 MB NAND storage plus a full-size USB port for extra storage or peripherals.

Can the hAP ac³ power or be powered by other devices?

Yes — the hAP ac³ supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling it to supply power to compatible devices or receive power from a PoE switch. This gives flexibility for cleaner installations and reduces the number of power adapters needed.

• PoE support for powering or being powered by network equipment.
• Ideal for wall or ceiling setups where an outlet is distant.
• Included wall-mount set helps tidy installations and cable runs.

How can I expand storage or attach accessories?

The router includes 128 MB NAND flash for firmware and basic files, plus a full-size USB port for added storage or peripherals like a USB modem or external drive. That makes it simple to host small-scale file shares or backup configurations without extra hardware.

• 128 MB built-in NAND for system and settings storage.
• Full-size USB port for external storage, printers, or USB networking devices.
• Flexible software options for mounting and serving attached storage.

Who is this for? The MikroTik hAP ac³ is aimed at homeowners, small households, and tech-savvy users who want a single, affordable access point capable of handling multiple wired and wireless devices with advanced networking features. It's a strong fit if you need better whole-home Wi‑Fi, wired gigabit performance, PoE flexibility, and the ability to expand storage or services via USB, all in a compact, mountable package.
