Hopefully next year I can make it to Train the Trainer. Unfortunately this year it falls on a major US holiday.

hAP ax S … Voltage - 18-28 V

seriously? any chances for some 48v standarts?

there is no block diagram for hAP axX S

Educated guess:
take the one from Hex S and add wifi to CPU.

Still waiting for next gen. RB60XX… Will we see that in 2026?

I hope Newsletter 130 will finally give us some WIFI 7 products with multiple 2.5 or 10gb ports, there is nothing much interesting in this releases, its mostly same recycled routers with same port options and a bit refreshed chipsets..

Finally the first MediaTek based wireless product is out.

There is now, and @holvoetn is right. It’s a hEX Refresh with WiFi.

Kind of interesting point is that hAP ax S has much faster L2 performance with bridge (and VLAN) HW offloading compared to hAP ax2 which also lacks SFP and the ability to do PoE in/out simultaneously, but ax2 has faster CPU and therefore much better routing and IPsec performance and slightly higher price but unfortunately lacks 2.5Gbps Ethernet port so actual advantage in real case scenarios seems dubious to me...
Anyways hAP ax S seems to be a better choice for most small offices that we are providing...

Well done Mikrotik, but when will you launch the long-awaited Disc AX???
Almost 2 years since Disc Lite ac was EOLed, and still no decent ax replacement…
You also really should come up with something like an nRAY with dual-chain ax backup, so we don’t have to resort to U…..eh..I mean your competitors for high-speed backhaul :wink:

The hAP ax S is just the device I’ve been looking for in the SOHO space so well done Mikrotik. Wi-Fi speed was the weak point in existing line up. Somebody mentioned 48V PoE. If you’re in that market, are you really considering a device costing £70 in the UK? There is still a very strong use case for passive PoE. Sounds like a hAP ax2 killer.

What are the available options to populate the hAP ax S 2.5 SFP cage ?

Mikrotik Connectivity announces per month pricing. I’m curious to know how you can start and end a new subscription.

Where can you read the legal terms that go along Mikrotik Connectivity service ?

Wow. Finally wifi 7 and multiple 2.5G ports!!!

Where?

I think it's a “call for help” and not something actually released :wink:

Caught me out too!! We don’t do irony around here. TBH not too fussed about 2.5G ports but keeping up to date with working Wi-Fi would be appreciated.

I can't agree more.

While neither me nor my customers see the benefit of 2.5G(over 10G) or “Wifi7” (it's crippled here) it's a hard sell for exp.: cap AX when even the slowest competition is already up to the game.
