MikroTik hAP ax3 C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD WiFi 6 Router | 2.5G Ethernet, 4× Gigabit, 1GB RAM

MikroTik hAP ax3 is a dual-band WiFi 6 router designed for high-performance home, office, SOHO and small-business networking. With the product code C53UiG+5HPaxD2HPaxD, this MikroTik router combines WiFi 6 wireless connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and the feature-rich RouterOS operating system in a compact desktop platform.

The hAP ax3 is built around a quad-core IPQ-6010 processor running at 1.8 GHz, supported by 1 GB RAM and 128 MB NAND storage. It provides four 1G Ethernet ports and one 2.5G Ethernet port, with the 2.5G port supporting both PoE-in and passive PoE-out. The device also includes a USB 3 Type-A port for additional networking and storage-related applications.

MikroTik hAP ax3 WiFi 6 Router

The MikroTik hAP ax3 supports dual-band 802.11ax WiFi 6 networking on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The 2.4 GHz radio uses a dual-chain design, while the 5 GHz radio also uses dual-chain architecture. MikroTik specifies maximum antenna gains of 3.3 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 5.5 dBi on 5 GHz.

WiFi 6 technology provides improved wireless efficiency compared with previous WiFi generations, particularly in environments where multiple client devices are connected simultaneously. Actual wireless throughput depends on client capability, channel width, signal strength, interference, distance, configuration and local regulatory restrictions.

2.5G Ethernet for High-Speed Networking

One of the key features of the MikroTik hAP ax3 is its combination of four Gigabit Ethernet ports with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The 2.5G port can provide a higher-speed wired connection than conventional Gigabit Ethernet and is also designed to support PoE-in and PoE-out.

This makes the hAP ax3 suitable for networks where a 1Gbps Ethernet interface may become a limitation. It can be used with compatible multi-gigabit networking equipment, high-speed Internet connections and local network devices that support 2.5GbE.

Powerful Quad-Core RouterOS Platform

The router is powered by a quad-core ARM 64-bit IPQ-6010 CPU at 1.8 GHz. It has 1 GB of RAM and 128 MB NAND storage, providing the hardware resources required for advanced RouterOS networking configurations.

The device runs MikroTik RouterOS with License Level 6. RouterOS provides a broad range of networking functions, including routing, firewall, NAT, DHCP, VLAN, VPN, wireless configuration, traffic management and other advanced network administration features.

Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity

The MikroTik hAP ax3 provides a total of five Ethernet interfaces: four 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports and one 2.5G Ethernet port. This combination allows the router to serve both standard Gigabit devices and compatible multi-gigabit equipment from the same platform.

• 4 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports
• 1 × 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port
• 2.5G Ethernet port supports PoE-in
• 2.5G Ethernet port supports passive PoE-out
• 1 × USB 3 Type-A port

Passive PoE-In and PoE-Out

The hAP ax3 supports two power input methods: DC jack and PoE-in. The official MikroTik documentation specifies a 12–28V DC input range and 18–28V PoE-in range. The 2.5G Ethernet interface supports passive PoE-out, with a total PoE-out power specification of up to 15W.

PoE functionality can be useful when powering a compatible MikroTik or other passive-PoE device directly from the router. Always verify the voltage and PoE requirements of the connected equipment before enabling or using PoE-out.

USB 3.0 Connectivity

A USB 3 Type-A port is included on the MikroTik hAP ax3. The USB interface expands the possible use cases of the router and can be used with compatible USB devices according to RouterOS functionality and supported hardware.

RouterOS for Advanced Network Management

One of the main advantages of choosing a MikroTik router is the flexibility of RouterOS. The hAP ax3 can be configured for a wide range of network requirements instead of being limited to basic consumer-router functionality.

Depending on the network design, RouterOS can be used for functions such as:

• Internet routing and NAT
• DHCP server and client configuration
• Firewall and security rules
• VLAN configuration
• VPN connectivity
• Bandwidth and traffic management
• Advanced routing
• Wireless network configuration
• Guest network segmentation
• Network monitoring and administration

Suitable for Home, SOHO and Small Office Networks

The combination of WiFi 6, multi-gigabit Ethernet and RouterOS makes the MikroTik hAP ax3 suitable for a variety of networking environments. It can be deployed as a primary Internet router, wireless access point, small-office gateway or an advanced RouterOS networking platform.

Typical applications include:

• Home broadband routing
• Home-office networks
• Small business networks
• SOHO deployments
• High-speed wireless networks
• Multi-gigabit Internet connections
• Wireless client networks
• Small network laboratories
• VLAN-based network environments
• Advanced MikroTik RouterOS deployments

MikroTik hAP ax3 vs Traditional Gigabit WiFi Routers

The hAP ax3 adds a 2.5G Ethernet interface to the traditional Gigabit Ethernet configuration while also providing WiFi 6 wireless connectivity. This can make it useful for users upgrading from older WiFi 5 or Gigabit-only routers.

However, the advertised wireless data rates and Ethernet link rates should not be interpreted as guaranteed Internet speed. Real-world performance depends on the complete network, including the ISP connection, client hardware, WiFi channel conditions, Ethernet negotiation and network configuration.

Compact Desktop Router Design

The MikroTik hAP ax3 measures approximately 251 × 130 × 39 mm. Its desktop-oriented design makes it suitable for placement in homes, offices, network cabinets with appropriate shelf space and other indoor networking environments.

The official specifications list an operating temperature range extending up to +70°C, while the exact operating environment and installation conditions should be considered when deploying the device.
