The hAP lite TC is MikroTik’s entry-level home access point, but “entry-level” means something different in the MikroTik world. The device ships with a RouterOS Level 4 licence — the same operating system used across MikroTik’s entire product range — giving you access to a firewall, bandwidth shaping, user access control, VLAN support, and a stack of other features that consumer routers don’t come close to. If you know RouterOS, you’ll feel right at home. If you don’t, expect a learning curve.

The “TC” in the model name refers to the colourful tower-case enclosure that differentiates it from the flat RB941-2nD variant. Same internals, different form factor.

Not a beginner device: The hAP lite runs RouterOS, not a simplified consumer interface. Out of the box it requires basic MikroTik configuration knowledge to set up correctly. If you’re after a plug-and-play home router, look elsewhere.

Hardware at a Glance

The QCA9533 CPU runs at 650MHz with 32MB RAM and 16MB of flash storage. Wireless is 802.11b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4) on 2.4GHz with two chains and 1.5dBi internal antennas, giving a maximum link rate of 300Mbps. Four 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports handle wired connectivity. Power is supplied via USB — a USB adapter is included in the box. There’s no PoE input and no 5GHz radio, so plan your deployment accordingly.

CAPsMAN & Centralised Management

The hAP lite supports a button-triggered WPS mode for quick client onboarding, and can be switched to cAP mode to join a CAPsMAN centrally managed wireless network with a single button press. This makes it a viable thin AP in a larger MikroTik-managed environment, controlled from a central RouterOS device running the CAPsMAN controller. For small deployments of a handful of units, this is a genuinely useful feature at this price point.

Key Highlights

• 650MHz QCA9533 CPU, 32MB RAM, 16MB flash

The EAP115 is a ceiling-mount access point that prioritises straightforward deployment over fancy specs. It mounts to a ceiling or wall with the included mounting kit, sits flat against the surface, and gets out of the way. At 180×180×47.5mm with two internal 3dBi omni-directional antennas, it distributes signal evenly across the room below — the kind of placement that avoids the dead-corner problem you get with wall-mounted routers. Best suited for small-to-medium indoor spaces: open-plan offices, classrooms, retail floors, waiting rooms, and similar environments.

Wireless Performance

Equipped with 2×2 MIMO technology, the EAP115 delivers Wi-Fi speeds of up to 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. This is Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), not Wi-Fi 6 — so set expectations accordingly. It handles everyday business traffic comfortably: browsing, email, VoIP, light file transfers. If you’re deploying in a high-density environment with dozens of concurrent clients pushing heavy throughput, step up to an EAP with a higher client capacity rating.

PoE-Powered, Minimal Cabling

PoE allows your network cable to carry electrical power, cutting down on cable clutter and eliminating the need for a power outlet at the mounting point. Power consumption sits at a frugal 2.8W, so it won’t put strain on your PoE switch’s power budget either.

Omada SDN & Guest Network Features

The EAP115 plugs into TP-Link’s Omada ecosystem alongside other EAPs, switches, and gateways. Zero-Touch Provisioning, centralised cloud management, and intelligent monitoring are all on the table via the Omada app or software controller. You get up to 8 SSIDs, multi-SSID segmentation for different user types, management VLAN support, QoS, wireless scheduling, and rate limiting. Guest network authentication options include SMS, Facebook Wi-Fi, and voucher-based captive portal.

Single-band only: The EAP115 operates on 2.4GHz exclusively. If your environment has significant 2.4GHz congestion — dense residential areas, older wireless gear everywhere — consider a dual-band model instead.

Key Highlights

• 300Mbps 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) on 2.4GHz
• Ceiling or wall mountable — mounting kit included
• 802.3af/at PoE powered — no power outlet at install point needed
• 2×2 MIMO with two internal 3dBi omni antennas
• Up to 8 SSIDs with per-SSID segmentation
• Omada SDN: cloud management, ZTP, Omada app support
• Captive portal with SMS, Facebook Wi-Fi, and voucher authentication
• Kensington lock slot for physical security
• 2.8W power consumption

The EAP115-WALL takes a different approach to wireless coverage — instead of hanging from the ceiling, it installs flush into any standard 86mm wall junction box using nothing more than a screwdriver. At just 11mm thick, the faceplate sits flat against the wall and blends into the décor rather than drawing attention to itself. It’s the kind of deployment that makes sense in hotel rooms, serviced apartments, office meeting rooms, and student residences where a tidy finish is non-negotiable.

Wall box required: The EAP115-WALL is designed to mount into an existing 86mm wall junction box. If your walls don’t already have data points roughed in, you’ll need an electrician before deploying this unit.

Wireless Performance

The EAP115-WALL delivers up to 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, making it well-suited for general browsing, email, video calls, and guest Wi-Fi in low-to-medium density environments. It supports IEEE 802.11n/g/b and uses two internal 1.8dBi omni-directional antennas. This isn’t a high-throughput Wi-Fi 6 powerhouse — it’s a practical, cost-effective coverage solution for spaces that need reliable connectivity without complexity.

PoE-Powered, No Mess

With 802.3af PoE support, there’s no need for a separate power supply — just run a single Ethernet cable to the unit and you’re done. This keeps installations clean and reduces the number of cables running through walls or trunking. No power outlet needed at the point of installation.

Omada SDN & Security

The EAP115-WALL is part of TP-Link’s Omada ecosystem, which means it can be managed centrally via the Omada Software Controller or the Omada app. You can configure settings, monitor network status, and manage connected clients from a smartphone or tablet. Security features include WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, 802.1X with RADIUS authentication, rogue AP detection, captive portal for guest authentication, and access control for network segmentation

Key Highlights

• 300Mbps 802.11n on 2.4GHz
• Fits standard 86mm wall junction boxes — no ceiling mount needed
• 11mm slim faceplate profile
• 802.3af PoE — single cable for power and data
• Omada SDN compatible — app and software controller management
• WPA2-Enterprise, RADIUS, captive portal, rogue AP detection
• Suitable for hotels, offices, dormitories, and hospitality deployments
