MikroTik RB941-2ND hAP lite Wireless Access Point

The MikroTik RB941-2ND, commercially known as the hAP lite, is a compact wireless access point and router designed for small offices, home environments, and edge deployments where space and power efficiency are critical. Despite its diminutive size, it runs the full-featured RouterOS, providing advanced networking capabilities such as bandwidth shaping, firewalling, and user access control that are typically reserved for enterprise-grade hardware. Equipped with a 650MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM, the RB941-2ND handles basic routing and 2.4GHz wireless traffic with stability. It features four Fast Ethernet ports, allowing for local wired connectivity alongside its dual-chain 802.11b/g/n wireless interface.

A key differentiator is its power versatility; it is powered via a standard microUSB port, making it compatible with common mobile chargers or USB power banks for temporary or mobile setups. For administrators, the device supports WPS triggered by a physical button, simplifying client connectivity without compromising security configurations. It serves as an ideal entry-point device for learning RouterOS or as a reliable CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) for ISPs delivering basic broadband services. Its Level 4 license ensures it can operate as a wireless access point, station, or point-to-point bridge.
