Every day is a happy day when a new MikroTik newsletter comes out 
Will the GPOE-USB support 802.3 af or just passive PoE?
The website says 802.3af/at:
https://mikrotik.com/product/gpoe_usb
I like the hAP AX2 because : 5 ports is useful, and I can zip-tie the power cable in place.=
hAP be lite won't do as a replacement fore the hAP AX2 IMO due to USB-C and only 4 RJ45s. Mostly the USB-C is the problem though, I fear it not staying in place in some situations.
Hopefully there will be a hAP be2 ?
product docs are not migrated, only RouterOS
and different prices, too.
The thingy in the picture seems to retail for around 35 €, the GPOE-USB has a list price of 19 US$, or less than half.
Who is mAP-52axD?
Cute fellow 
But with the new hAP be lite now out wouldn't mAP-be with WiFI 7 and 2.5Gbps Ethernet and priced around $60 make more sense?
It would be interesting to see if Mikrotik will make even more cheaper single-band 2,4 GHz only Wi-Fi 7 device...
What for? WiFi 7 pumped up specs castrated to 2.4Ghz only it's like race horse harnessed to a park carriage
hAP be lite does 5GHz so I wonder what are you talking about...
@nmt1900 is just being sarcastic ...
market is already saturated by cheap products.
Would be nice to see Mikrotik release a product like this instead.
As always I may be wrong, but given the penetration capabilities of both 5 GHz and 6GHz across walls or more generally obstacles, the future home will (should be) equipped with one or two wired connections per room, and each room will have its own (tiny, low power) AP, possibly a ceiling one or a wAP Ax-like device in a corner.
Having a single "high power" wifi 7 AP might be adequate for classrooms, restaurants and bars and conference rooms, but in ordinary houses the signal drop due to walls makes 5 GHz slow down so much that what the actual client gets is a fraction of the theoretical speed.
Perhaps a tiny WiFi access point embedded in every wall outlet that also serves as a 2.5G/5G Ethernet outlet. Provided a building (e.g. a house) is pre-wired, the desired WiFi coverage can be attained by adding as many WiFi outlets as needed. [edit] The (still in the works) WiFi 8 standard would address the interference problem.
The ceiling mount would make sense in common spaces, large halls.
Well, both solutions are tricky, the first one because of WAF, the second because - even if you don't know It yet - you actually need a vintage armchair, possibly with its back covered in lead or thick iron, placed right in front of the outlet(s).
So the alternative would be wall access points, still placed high enough to minimize the risk of obstacles in front of them, both wall and ceiling access points can however be hidden fairly well, examples, not necessarily cheap:

but the cost in a new construction could be bearable.
That's a very good price for WiFi 7 ap... later, real UK prices are more like £150 so not that good.
Looking forward to the mAP-ax or mAP-be, whichever it is, but who knows if Mikrotik will "kill" this product. At WMC2025, Mikrotik also annouced the LtAP ax, but since then, there is no news at all. Don't know if it is dead or it is delayed.
