RouterBOARD hAP series
The hAP is a simple home wireless access point. It is already configured, you can simply plug in your ISP cable
and start using wireless internet. We recommend you to set up a password to secure your device, follow these
steps.
Powering
The device accepts powering from the microUSB port. The port itself doesn't function as a standard microUSB port
for data, it is only used for power. You can use any standard 0.5-2A USB adapter that usually come with
smartphones. One 5V 0.7A USB charger is included in the box.
The power consumption under maximum load can reach 3.5W.
Setup
1. Connect your internet cable to the first port, and, if you have wired devices, connect them to the other ports
2. Set your computer IP configuration to automatic (DHCP)
3. From your PC or smartphone, connect to the wireless network name which starts with “MikroTik”
4. Once connected to the “MikroTik” wireless network, open http://192.168.88.1 in your web browser to start
configuration, since there is no password by default, you will be logged in automatically. Set up your
password in the screen that loads
