MikroTik cAP lite Dual-Chain 2.4GHz Access Point (RBcAPL-2nD)

The MikroTik cAP lite RBcAPL-2nD is an ultra-compact, high-efficiency 2.4GHz dual-chain indoor access point designed for sleek, low-profile deployment in hotels, offices, shopping malls, and residential networks. Operating on the 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi 4 standard with up to 300 Mbps wireless speed and 1.5 dBi omni-directional coverage, this tiny unit delivers surprisingly robust connectivity across high-density environments. Driven by a 650 MHz QCA9533 CPU and 64 MB RAM, it runs the full-featured RouterOS (Level 4 License).

Engineered for seamless architectural integration, the cAP lite includes two customizable, hot-swappable enclosures (a wall mount and a ceiling disc mount). MikroTik also offers 3D-printable casing files, letting you blend the hardware directly into any interior decor. Flexible power options—including 802.3af/at PoE and standard MicroUSB input—make installation effortless, while centralized MikroTik CAPsMAN system control allows you to manage dozens of nodes from a single gateway router.
