MikroTik RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC Dual-Band Gigabit WiFi Router

The MikroTik hAP ac² (RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC) is a high-performance, dual-concurrent access point designed for small office and home office (SOHO) environments that require robust wired and wireless throughput. Engineered with a quad-core 716 MHz CPU and 128 MB of RAM, this unit efficiently manages complex routing tasks, firewalling, and hardware-accelerated IPsec VPN tunnels without saturating the Gigabit interfaces. Its dual-chain wireless radio provides simultaneous coverage for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, supporting the 802.11ac standard to accommodate a mix of legacy and modern client devices. In a deployment context, the hAP ac² serves as a reliable edge router for branch offices or a managed node within a larger CAPsMAN-controlled campus network.

The inclusion of a USB 2.0 port enables 4G/LTE failover capabilities, ensuring business continuity during primary WAN outages. The “TC” designation refers to its versatile tower case, which allows for vertical or horizontal orientation to optimize space in constrained network enclosures. Running the full-featured RouterOS, it provides enterprise-grade capabilities such as advanced bandwidth management, user access control, and sophisticated routing protocols in a compact, cost-effective form factor.
