Mikrotik hAP ax S WIFI router

Meet the new hAP ax S, Mikrotik's most cost-effective Wi-Fi 6 access point yet. It costs far less than most mid-range, mass-produced routers… while delivering far more flexibility and longevity right out of the box.

Under the sleek exterior lies a dual-core ARM CPU, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, USB 2.0, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, and a 2.5 Gigabit SFP cage. You can connect direct fiber-to-home or link up a high-speed NAS for lightning-fast local access.

Triple-chain 5 GHz: the key to stable, gigabit-class Wi-Fi

The new hAP ax S features a triple-chain 5 GHz radio that achieves real-world throughput of around 800–900 Mbit/s. That means smooth streaming, faster downloads, and stable performance across multiple devices – even in crowded environments. It’s also perfect as a dedicated Wi-Fi 6 VR streaming access point for PC VR headsets, offering higher resolution and lower latency without the cables. Unlike single-purpose “gaming” access points, the hAP ax S gives you the full performance, flexibility, and future-proofing of RouterOS v7.

Enjoy dual powering options – DC jack or PoE-in – and a passive PoE-out port to power another MikroTik device, such as an additional AP or a compact desktop switch. This makes it ideal for both home setups and small offices where clean cable management matters.

Your network, your rules

Despite the low price, the hAP ax S runs a full version of RouterOS v7, the most flexible networking software on the market. In the age of growing data security and privacy challenges, RouterOS gives you complete control; with no subscriptions, no upsells, no locked features. Whether you’re configuring your first Wi-Fi network through the MikroTik app or building complex topologies, RouterOS v7grows with you. VLANs, firewalls, VPN tunnels, traffic shaping, scripting, SMS automation – the possibilities are endless. For example: you can easily isolate IoT devices into separate subnets to protect your home network from unwanted access via the smart fridge or those flashy LED light hubs.
