MikroTik hAP AX2 AX1800 WiFi 6 Router
MikroTik hAP AX2 is a compact dual-band WiFi 6 router designed for homes, small offices, workspaces and advanced networking environments. The exact product code is C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC. It combines WiFi 6 wireless connectivity, five Gigabit Ethernet ports, a quad-core ARM64 processor, 1GB RAM and RouterOS v7 in a compact desktop router.
The hAP AX2 supports dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi 6 with 2×2 wireless configuration on both bands. It provides up to 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz and up to 1200 Mbps on 5GHz, giving the device an AX1800 wireless class. These are theoretical PHY rates and actual wireless throughput depends on client capability, channel conditions, interference, distance and network configuration.
Dual-Band WiFi 6 AX1800
The main wireless feature of the MikroTik hAP AX2 is its dual-band 802.11ax WiFi 6 architecture. Both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios use a 2×2 configuration.

The hAP AX2 supports 802.11ax alongside previous 802.11 standards, allowing compatible WiFi 6 clients to take advantage of the newer wireless generation while maintaining compatibility with supported legacy WiFi devices.
5× Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The MikroTik hAP AX2 includes five 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports can be used for wired computers, switches, NAS devices, IP cameras, printers, access points and other Ethernet-connected equipment.
Having five Gigabit ports gives the hAP AX2 more wired connectivity than a typical basic wireless router and allows it to function as both a router and a compact Gigabit Ethernet switch.
PoE-In and PoE-Out
One of the useful features of the hAP AX2 is its support for passive PoE-in and passive PoE-out.
Ether1 supports passive PoE-out, allowing the router to power a compatible MikroTik device through Ethernet. The PoE-out is passive rather than 802.3af/at active PoE, so the connected equipment and power requirements must be checked before use.

MikroTik specifies a maximum total PoE-out power of 16.8W under the stated conditions. PoE-out should only be used with compatible equipment and appropriate voltage.
Quad-Core ARM64 Processor
The hAP AX2 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm IPQ-6010 processor running at a nominal 864MHz frequency. Its ARM 64-bit architecture provides the processing platform for RouterOS v7 routing, firewall, VPN, wireless management and other network services.
The router includes 1GB RAM and 128MB NAND storage, providing substantially more memory than many entry-level home routers.

RouterOS v7 with Level 4 License
The MikroTik hAP AX2 runs RouterOS v7 with a Level 4 license. RouterOS provides extensive configuration options beyond basic home-router functionality.
Depending on the network design, the device can be configured for:
- Internet gateway routing
- NAT
- Stateful firewall policies
- DHCP server and client
- VLAN configuration
- Static and dynamic routing
- VPN connectivity
- Bandwidth management
- Wireless access point operation
- Guest network configuration
- Network monitoring
- CAPsMAN-managed wireless deployments
RouterOS is preinstalled and licensed on the device, so no separate RouterOS license purchase is required for normal operation.
WPA3 and Modern WiFi Security
The hAP AX2 supports modern wireless security capabilities including WPA3. This allows compatible client devices to use newer wireless authentication and encryption features while the router continues to support appropriate legacy wireless standards.
Security configuration should be selected according to the client devices, operating environment and network requirements.
Compact Design for Home and Office Networks
The MikroTik hAP AX2 is designed as a compact indoor router. It can be positioned horizontally, vertically or mounted on a wall using the included mounting accessories.
The official specifications list dimensions of approximately 120 × 101 × 37 mm and a tested ambient temperature range of -40°C to +50°C. The device uses passive cooling.
Gigabit Networking for Multiple Devices
With five Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and dual-band WiFi 6, the hAP AX2 can serve a mixed wired and wireless network. Wired devices can connect through the Gigabit ports while wireless clients use either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio.
The 5GHz WiFi 6 radio is suitable for higher-bandwidth nearby wireless clients, while 2.4GHz can provide greater compatibility and coverage characteristics depending on the environment.
MikroTik hAP AX2 for Home Networking
For home networks, the hAP AX2 provides an integrated router, firewall, Gigabit switch and dual-band WiFi 6 access point. Its 1GB RAM and quad-core processor also provide the hardware platform needed for more advanced RouterOS configurations than a basic consumer wireless router.
It can be used for broadband Internet access, home-office networking, wireless client connectivity, VLAN segmentation and VPN-based connectivity according to the required configuration.
MikroTik hAP AX2 for Small Business
Small offices can use the hAP AX2 as a compact routing and wireless platform. Five Gigabit Ethernet ports provide direct wired connectivity for computers, printers, switches and other network devices, while dual-band WiFi 6 provides wireless access.
The RouterOS platform also allows administrators to configure firewall policies, VLANs, routing rules, VPNs and bandwidth-management policies as required.
