MikroTik cAP ax cAPGi-5HaxD2HaxD WiFi 6 Access Point
The MikroTik cAP ax cAPGi-5HaxD2HaxD is a dual-band WiFi 6 ceiling access point designed for offices, hotels, schools, retail stores, commercial buildings and other indoor environments where reliable wireless coverage and centralized network management are important.
Based on the 802.11ax WiFi 6 standard, the cAP ax delivers up to 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and up to 1200 Mbps on 5 GHz under specified wireless PHY conditions, giving it an AX1800 wireless classification. It combines dual-chain radios, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE support, a quad-core ARM64 processor and 1GB of RAM with RouterOS v7.
WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual-Band Wireless
The cAP ax operates simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using the 802.11ax standard. The 2.4 GHz radio provides up to 574 Mbps, while the 5 GHz radio provides up to 1200 Mbps under the manufacturer’s specified conditions.

The combined wireless classification is AX1800. Actual user throughput will depend on client capability, channel width, signal strength, interference, distance, network configuration and other environmental factors.
Designed for Ceiling and Wall Installation
The MikroTik cAP ax uses a compact ceiling-access-point design intended to blend into professional indoor environments. Its form factor makes it suitable for open offices, hotel rooms and corridors, classrooms, retail areas, commercial premises and other locations where ceiling-mounted wireless coverage is preferred.
The device measures approximately 228 × 48 mm and is designed for indoor installation. MikroTik specifies an IP20 rating and a tested operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C.
2× Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The cAP ax includes two 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This provides a Gigabit wired connection between the access point and the network infrastructure while also allowing the second Ethernet interface to be used for compatible downstream connectivity.
One of the Ethernet ports supports passive PoE-out, allowing the cAP ax to provide power to compatible devices such as another network device, CCTV equipment or another compatible MikroTik unit when the power source and installation conditions support the required output.
802.3af/at PoE-In
The cAP ax supports 802.3af/at PoE-in, making it convenient to deploy without a separate local power connection at the access point location.
It also supports a DC input from 18–57V. MikroTik specifies maximum power consumption of approximately 36W with attachments and approximately 11W without attachments.
PoE-Out for Network Expansion
Ether2 provides passive PoE-out. The supported output depends on the input voltage and power configuration. MikroTik specifies a maximum total output current of up to 600 mA, with a high-voltage current limit of 400 mA under the specified conditions.
This feature can simplify installations where the cAP ax needs to power a compatible downstream device. PoE-out capability should always be checked against the connected device’s voltage, current and power requirements before installation.
Quad-Core ARM64 Processor and 1GB RAM
The cAP ax is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm IPQ-6010 processor with a nominal frequency range of up to 1.8 GHz. It includes 1GB DDR3L RAM and 128MB NAND storage.
This hardware platform gives the access point sufficient processing capability for RouterOS v7 networking features, wireless management, firewall configuration, VPN functions and other supported RouterOS capabilities.
RouterOS v7 and CAPsMAN Management
The MikroTik cAP ax runs RouterOS v7 with a Level 4 license. It can also be centrally managed through MikroTik’s CAPsMAN ecosystem, making it suitable for multi-access-point deployments.
For offices, hotels, educational institutions and other larger wireless installations, centralized management can simplify configuration and maintenance across multiple MikroTik access points. MikroTik specifically highlights CAPsMAN as a way to configure and manage large numbers of cAP ax devices.
WiFi 6 Features for Dense Indoor Networks
WiFi 6 is particularly useful in environments where many wireless clients share the available spectrum. The cAP ax supports modern 802.11ax operation along with newer authentication options including WPA3-PSK, WPA3-EAP, OWE and 802.11r roaming, subject to RouterOS configuration and client compatibility.
These capabilities make the cAP ax suitable for modern wireless networks where multiple smartphones, laptops, tablets, IoT devices and other WiFi clients need to connect to the same infrastructure.
Wireless Coverage and Antenna Design
The cAP ax uses integrated dual-band antennas with approximately 6 dBi gain on 2.4 GHz and 5.5 dBi gain on 5 GHz. The dual-chain configuration operates on both wireless bands.
Actual coverage cannot be represented by a single fixed distance because building construction, wall materials, client orientation, interference, mounting height and regulatory transmit-power limits all influence wireless performance.
cAP ax for Offices
The MikroTik cAP ax is designed for office wireless networks where a clean ceiling-mounted installation and centralized management are important. Its two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and WiFi 6 radios provide a practical combination for connecting modern wireless clients to an existing wired network.
It can be deployed in open offices, meeting rooms, workspaces, reception areas and other indoor locations where multiple access points may be required.
cAP ax for Hotels and Hospitality
Hotels and hospitality environments can use ceiling-mounted access points to provide wireless connectivity across guest rooms, corridors, common areas and administrative spaces.
With CAPsMAN support, multiple MikroTik access points can be managed as part of a centrally controlled wireless infrastructure, reducing the need to configure each access point individually.
cAP ax for Schools and Commercial Buildings
Educational institutions, training centres, retail stores and commercial buildings often require wireless access for a large number of users and devices. The dual-band WiFi 6 architecture of the cAP ax provides simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connectivity, while RouterOS provides extensive network configuration options.
