MikroTik hAP ac² RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC AC1200 Dual-Band WiFi Router
The MikroTik hAP ac² RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC is a dual-band wireless router and access point designed for home, small office, branch office and other indoor networking environments. It provides simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless connectivity, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB connectivity and MikroTik RouterOS.
The hAP ac² supports WiFi 4 on 2.4 GHz and WiFi 5 on 5 GHz, with maximum theoretical wireless rates of 300 Mbps and 867 Mbps respectively. Together these provide an AC1200 wireless class. The device is powered by a quad-core IPQ-4018 processor and includes 128 MB RAM and 16 MB flash storage.
Dual-Band AC1200 Wireless
The MikroTik hAP ac² operates both wireless bands simultaneously, allowing compatible devices to connect to either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz according to their capabilities and network configuration.

The combined wireless classification is AC1200. The advertised wireless rates are theoretical PHY rates; actual throughput depends on client capability, channel width, signal strength, interference, distance and network configuration.
5× Gigabit Ethernet Ports
One of the key advantages of the MikroTik hAP ac² is its five 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports can be used for WAN connectivity, wired LAN devices, switches, PCs, network storage and other Ethernet equipment.
Unlike older MikroTik wireless routers that use Fast Ethernet, the hAP ac² provides Gigabit Ethernet across all five wired ports, making it suitable for modern broadband connections and local network transfers.
Quad-Core ARM Processor
The hAP ac² is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm IPQ-4018 processor with an automatic nominal frequency range of approximately 488–896 MHz. The device has 128 MB RAM and 16 MB flash storage.
This hardware platform provides processing resources for RouterOS networking functions including routing, firewall configuration, wireless management, VLANs, VPN features and other supported network services.
RouterOS for Advanced Network Management
The MikroTik hAP ac² runs RouterOS with a Level 4 license. RouterOS provides considerably more configuration flexibility than a basic consumer WiFi router.
Depending on the deployment, RouterOS can be configured for routing, firewall policies, DHCP, NAT, VLANs, wireless access, VPN services, bandwidth management, monitoring and other networking functions.
IPsec Hardware Acceleration
The hAP ac² supports IPsec hardware acceleration, making it suitable for VPN-based connectivity between compatible networks. MikroTik’s published test results show approximately 424.5 Mbps for a single AES-128-CBC + SHA1 IPsec tunnel under the specified 1400-byte test conditions. Multiple-tunnel results and smaller packet sizes vary significantly.
These figures are manufacturer benchmark results rather than guaranteed real-world VPN throughput. Actual performance depends on the RouterOS configuration, encryption settings, packet sizes and traffic pattern.
USB Type-A Port
The hAP ac² includes one USB Type-A port. MikroTik specifies USB support for applications such as external storage and compatible 3G/4G LTE modems.
The USB interface supports up to 1A of current according to the manufacturer specification. Compatible modem and storage support should be checked against the current RouterOS version and device requirements.
Passive PoE-In
The hAP ac² supports passive PoE-in, providing an alternative to powering the device through its DC jack. The DC input range is 12–30V.
This can be useful when the router is installed in a location where power can be delivered through Ethernet infrastructure. Unlike 802.3af/at PoE, passive PoE does not perform the same standardized power negotiation, so the correct voltage and compatible PoE equipment must be used.
Universal Tower and Desktop Design
The hAP ac² uses a flexible enclosure that can be positioned horizontally as a desktop router or vertically as a tower-style device. A wall mounting kit is also included.
The compact enclosure measures approximately 34 × 119 × 98 mm. The device uses passive cooling and has an IP20 rating, making it intended for indoor deployment. MikroTik specifies a tested ambient temperature range of -40°C to +50°C.
International and USA Versions
MikroTik offers the hAP ac² in international and USA versions. The international model supports the applicable 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges subject to local regulations, while the USA version is factory locked to specific permitted frequency ranges.
For deployments in India or another country outside the USA, the appropriate regional version and local wireless regulations should be checked before installation. MikroTik also states that users are responsible for complying with applicable frequency, transmit-power and DFS requirements.
hAP ac² for Home Networks
The MikroTik hAP ac² can function as a complete home router and wireless access point. Its five Gigabit Ethernet ports provide connectivity for wired computers, smart TVs, network storage, gaming consoles, switches and other Ethernet devices.
The simultaneous dual-band wireless architecture allows older 2.4 GHz clients and higher-performance 5 GHz devices to operate on their respective wireless bands.
hAP ac² for Small Offices
For small offices and branch networks, the hAP ac² combines wireless access, Gigabit Ethernet switching and RouterOS routing capabilities in a compact device.
It can be configured for VLAN segmentation, firewall policies, VPN connectivity, DHCP services and other network functions supported by RouterOS. Its five Gigabit Ethernet interfaces also allow several wired devices to be connected without requiring a separate switch for a basic deployment.
hAP ac² for VPN and Remote Connectivity
With IPsec hardware acceleration and RouterOS, the hAP ac² can be used in site-to-site or remote-access VPN scenarios where the required RouterOS VPN configuration is supported.
For higher-throughput enterprise VPN requirements, the actual encryption performance should be evaluated against the specific tunnel count, encryption algorithm and packet-size requirements of the deployment.
