Wooohooo, this would be great replacement for cap ax, better WAF factor
Indeed. I may swap my wall mounted CAP ac for this one. I am not willing to wait for a smaller, “WAF improved” version of CAP ax.
So you would need to bond both ports to get full speed if thats your bag ?
In my use case 1 gig is more than enough and would like to replace my two cAP ax and one ax2 for 3 of wap ax. Also having additional port like on cap ax is a nice bonus.
So you are going to downgrade to dual core 800MHz from quad-core 1800MHz ?
I guess you do get an upgrade to 2400 instead of 1200, hmm, also looks pretty for the wife! ![]()
Either way,I look forward to your review ![]()
While maybe seems that this is a downgrade (and you are right, it is when you compare processing power and other stats), cAP ax is really bulky device meant to be installed on the ceiling.
I don’t have network cables on my ceiling and putting them require a lot of work (house made of bricks and lot of reinforced concrete, especially ceiling) which I really want to avoid.
wAP ax is meant to be on the ceiling, wall or mounted on the desk and it’s slim and better looking than cAP ax so it will blend nicely with other dust collecting stuff on my TV cabinets and desks in all the rooms ![]()
These type of devices are meant to be first and foremost - Access Points. It uses same CPU as mANTBox ax 15 and, judging by the test results, it will do more than fine, especially considering the price.
I also wait for it to drop to retail, want to replace my aging wAP ACs.
I actually dont mind the AX3 now, setup is not intuitive and confusing with multiple menus that overlap and interfere with each other but once you stumble across a working config, and dont use capsman, it works well enough.
If memory serves me you didn’t have many kind words at the start… lol
I’m pretty amazed with the performance of my hAP ax2 running capsman dns cache to DoH and fq_codel including adlists. I’m warming to the platform more and more, I want a wAP ax and an RB5900 but honestly, I could live with what I have.
For developers, used to program object oriented, the menu is actually pretty intuitive. And with CAPsMAN it is actually working pretty well. But those are just my 2 cents.
As a matter of fact, if you were already used to former capsman, not that much has changed.
It looks they are releasing AX version.

Big first day launch as normal, they ain’t got none ![]()
https://mikrotikbg.shop/en/wireless-systemsaps/474-wap-ax-wapg-5haxd2haxd.html
What do you mean by first day launch? The apperance on the several webshops?
I pre ordered today here in the Netherlands.
I don’t see any here in the UK ?
Finally, ordered mine via SHL in Sweden.
Finally, the long awaited wAP AX product. However, let’s hope MikroTik can release the needed AX driver improvements on their next ROS release… (edited - typed cAP instead of wAP)
You mean wAP AX I assume? They are constantly improving and releasing new drivers and versions of RouterOS…no doubt it will become better. And I’m already enjoying it daily.
I have 3 cAP AX and I have very little to zero issues with them. The issues with SA Query timeout went away (I have no Intel card connected). So what is the issues mentioned here?
What is SHL, a webshop? I can’t find any distributor that has the device available for order.
Waiting mainly for the Getic to have it in stock, since they also carry the mtik mugs, broke my previous mug and want to order the mug at the same time with the wAP ax ![]()
