The MikroTik mAP lite supports 802.11b/g/n wireless connectivity with a maximum specified wireless data rate of 300 Mbps. It includes one 10/100 Ethernet port and supports both 802.3af/at PoE-in and MicroUSB power, giving users flexibility when deploying the device in different environments.

Exact Product Identification

The exact manufacturer product code is RBmAPL-2nD, while the commercial product name is MikroTik mAP lite.

For quotations, purchase orders, inventory records and technical documentation, use the complete model number MikroTik RBmAPL-2nD. MikroTik’s Declaration of Conformity identifies the marketing name as mAP lite and the model as RBmAPL-2nD.

Tiny 2.4GHz Dual-Chain WiFi

The MikroTik mAP lite RBmAPL-2nD features a dual-chain 2.4GHz wireless radio supporting IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards. The manufacturer specifies a maximum wireless data rate of 300 Mbps.

• Wireless band: 2.4GHz
• Wireless standards: 802.11b/g/n
• Wireless generation: Wi-Fi 4
• Wireless chains: 2
• Maximum specified data rate: 300 Mbps
• Antenna gain: 1.5 dBi
• Wireless chipset: QCA9533

The 300 Mbps value is the maximum wireless PHY/data-rate specification. Actual throughput depends on client capabilities, channel conditions, interference, distance, channel width and network configuration.

One 10/100 Ethernet Port

The MikroTik mAP lite RBmAPL-2nD includes 1× 10/100 Ethernet port. This wired interface can be used for network connectivity, management or connecting the device to an upstream network.

Because the Ethernet interface is Fast Ethernet rather than Gigabit Ethernet, the mAP lite is intended for compact and low-bandwidth networking applications rather than high-speed wired aggregation.

PoE-In Support

One of the useful features of the MikroTik mAP lite is its support for PoE-in. The device supports both 802.3af/at PoE-in and passive PoE-in according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

The specified PoE input voltage range is 10–60V. This allows the mAP lite to be powered through its Ethernet connection when a compatible PoE source is available.

Important: the mAP lite provides PoE-in; it should not be confused with the larger MikroTik mAP model, which additionally provides passive PoE-out on its second Ethernet port.

MicroUSB Power Option

The RBmAPL-2nD can also be powered through its MicroUSB input at 5V. MikroTik includes a 5V 1A power adapter with the product package.

This dual power approach makes the mAP lite practical for travel, temporary network installations and locations where standard PoE infrastructure is not available.

Ideal for Travel and Portable Networking

MikroTik specifically positions the mAP lite as a portable networking device. Its tiny size allows it to be carried easily and used as a travel router to extend hotel or other wired Internet connectivity to multiple devices.

It can also operate as a wireless client, allowing a laptop or other wired device to connect to an existing wireless network through its Ethernet interface.

Compact 48 × 49 × 11 mm Design

The mAP lite has a very small enclosure measuring approximately 48 × 49 × 11 mm. MikroTik describes it as its smallest wireless access point and compares its size to a matchbox.

This extremely compact form factor makes the device useful for installations where conventional routers or access points are too large.

650MHz CPU and 64MB RAM

The MikroTik mAP lite is powered by a QCA9533 single-core CPU running at 650MHz. It includes 64MB RAM and 16MB Flash storage.

The device uses the MIPSBE architecture and comes with a Level 4 RouterOS license.

RouterOS-Based Wireless Networking

The MikroTik RBmAPL-2nD runs RouterOS, giving the tiny device access to MikroTik’s networking platform rather than limiting it to basic consumer access-point functionality.

Depending on the configuration, the mAP lite can be used as an access point, wireless client or part of a routed or bridged network. MikroTik’s documentation describes the device as a small wireless network device that can be configured for different wireless roles.

RouterOS also provides features such as bridging, routing, firewall configuration, VLAN support and other networking functions supported by the hardware and software version.

Portable Configuration and Management Tool

Because of its compact size and RouterOS platform, the mAP lite can also be used as a small configuration and management device for servers and network equipment.

MikroTik specifically highlights its use as a configuration tool when a mobile device or laptop does not have a convenient Ethernet interface.

Passive Cooling and Low Power Consumption

The MikroTik mAP lite uses passive cooling and has no active cooling fan. Its maximum specified power consumption is only 3.5W.

The manufacturer specifies a tested ambient operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C. This combination of low power consumption and passive cooling makes the device suitable for compact indoor networking installations.

Built-In 2.4GHz Antenna

The RBmAPL-2nD includes an integrated 2.4GHz wireless antenna with a specified gain of 1.5 dBi. No external antenna is required for normal operation.

The integrated antenna design helps keep the device extremely small while providing the wireless connectivity required for its intended applications.

Suitable Applications

• Travel router
• Compact 2.4GHz access point
• Wireless client device
• Small office networking
• Temporary WiFi installations
• Network configuration and management

MikroTik mAP lite Ethernet Performance

MikroTik publishes Ethernet test results for the RBmAPL-2nD using Xena Networks equipment and RFC2544 methodology.

In the manufacturer’s 1518-byte fast-path test, the device achieved approximately 98.4 Mbps bridging throughput and 98.4 Mbps routing throughput. These results are close to the practical limits of its 100Mbps Ethernet interface under the specified test conditions.

At smaller 64-byte packets, the published throughput varies depending on whether the device is performing fast-path forwarding, bridge filtering, queues or IP filtering. Actual performance depends on configuration and traffic conditions.

Included Accessories

The MikroTik mAP lite package includes accessories intended to make the device ready for use.

• 5V 1A power adapter
• K-44 mounting kit

The device comes with RouterOS preinstalled and licensed, so no separate operating-system license purchase is required. MikroTik also states that software updates are provided free for the life of the product or for a minimum of five years from purchase.
