Who @ mikrotik tought it was a good idea to set the voltage limit of the hAP ax S at only 28V ?

The old HAP ac could be powered with 48V, and the you can put a camera on the POE out port.
This was actually perfect for many situations.

  1. Cheap
  2. I personally don’t think people with PoE Cameras will just have 1. I’d rather think it would be more useful for an AP. (Mikrotik APs accept 28V :slight_smile: )

To elaborate on nr. 1:
hap ac 130$
hap ax s 80$

Competitor products:
90$ and just an AP with no PoE out.

I used to be really happy with the POE ports on routers, too, but when my hex-POE burned out during a thunderstorm through a camera, I thought how great it was that it was a switch and not a router :slight_smile:
