MikroTik hAP be lite Wi-Fi 7 Gigabit Router (A42G-HbeP)
MikroTik hAP be lite Wi-Fi 7 Gigabit Router (A42G-HbeP)
Overview:
The MikroTik hAP be lite (A42G-HbeP) is a compact enterprise router and access point equipped with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support, BE3600-class wireless performance, and the RouterOS v7 operating system. It features a dual-core ARM CPU, 512 MB DDR3 RAM, one 2.5 Gigabit and three Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed wired connectivity. Powered via USB-C at 5 V, the device offers flexible installation with low power consumption of up to 12 W.
Description:
The MikroTik hAP be lite is designed to deliver stable, low-latency connectivity even in dense wireless environments. Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology enhances efficiency through simultaneous multi-link connections across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. In the 2.4 GHz band, dual-chain 4.4 dBi antennas provide a maximum data rate of 688 Mbit/s; in the 5 GHz band, triple-chain 7 dBi antennas deliver a maximum data rate of 2882 Mbit/s. Together, they achieve the BE3600 wireless speed class.
On the wired side, one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port is ideal for high-speed uplinks, NAS, or workstation connections, while three Gigabit Ethernet ports provide ample capacity for local network devices. The device is powered by a dual-core ARM 32bit CPU (AN7563PT) running at 950 MHz with 512 MB DDR3 RAM, ensuring reliable performance under heavy traffic. 128 MB NAND storage provides sufficient space for RouterOS v7 and optional packages.
The RouterOS v7 operating system offers enterprise-grade features such as VLAN configuration, VPN tunnels, advanced firewall rules, traffic shaping, and scripting automation at no extra cost. CAPsMAN enables centralized management of multiple MikroTik access points from a single interface. The device operates reliably in indoor environments with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 50°C and IP20 protection rating. Passive cooling ensures fanless and silent operation. It comes with a 5 V 2.4 A USB-C power adapter.
