hAP AC2 availability

Hi

is the hAP ac2 supply limited ?

Seems to be an ideal little dual band AP with features to grow, but I couldnt find one for sale anywhere in the UK.

Had to buy one that had been third party setup to act with the liberty shield VPN and reset it back to factory. Cant see this will be a problem, I take it the RouterOS licence is granted with the hardware as default ?

Now its up and running, and its a nice bit of kit.

What do you mean about limited stock? That is question for specific distributor, isn't it?
Quick look at list of official distributors for UK gave me these shops with hAP ac2 in stock:
https://linitx.com/product/mikrotik-rou ... hape/15370
https://store.voicehost.co.uk/mikrotik- ... shape.html
There are many others who do not publish their stock (so it may or may not be in stock) and few who ask you to call them to check the stock. Anyway - there are at least two shops who have hAP ac2 in stock..

Funny bit: https://store.freeclix.com/product/ap-one2/ those guys apparently rebrand hAP ac2 and sell it under their own brand (and not just this one). I didn't know mikrotik do OEM manufacturing :lol:

oops

couldnt buy one on www.wifi-stock.co.uk, listed as out of stock and not on senetic, just went to 'enquiry' on another and Amazon are listing them as unavailable as well.

oh well, got one now and it actually cost £10 less than the one listed above :) (liberty shield are probably discounting to get you to use their service), just a bit of a fiddlle which is part of the fun.

So my hAP AP2 is running nicely.

Bonus point, all the sites ive since found with it in stock (doh!) are £10 more expensive than the libertyshield VPN boxed unit available on Amazon. Quick reload of RouterOS and away you go !

Time to play with a local DNS :)

While it's currently unavailable at all the large distributors, the smaller ones apparently have some stock left.

Should have some expaination why is not in stock in big distributors? I asked some of them, and they told be that dont have any information when will be back on stock. Seems like problem is on Mikrotik side, that dont produce enought pieces of this hardware.

Took just one day? :D the demand must be crazy.. just few days ago they had 72 in stock

On the other hand... I am not really surprised. This device deserves the demand.

@dean: You forgot to mention that it is also popular because many units come with double RAM than specified :lol:

Has anyone ever received a unit with less than 230MB RAM?

Well, I have two units and both have 200+ MB of RAM. But, it is weird that MT never mentioned that on product page.

That's interesting, I guess the change happened with the switch to factory software 6.42+. I own several devices with factory software 6.40 and 6.41 and all of them have 233MB.

Seems like this device is exhausted everywhere. @normis could you please explain us why MT is no longer providing any distributor with this product ? If demand is high so must be production, so what is the problem, chip or sub-component availability ?

We are providing them non stop. The demand is very big, they get sold out immediately. Since some customers have been waiting for this product, the distributor doesn't even put it in the webpage, but delivers previously placed orders.

We are trying to increase production as much as we can. Nothing has stopped at any moment.

Just adding to an old thread with my first post 8) ; I'm on Ontario, Canada and the only distributor here says these are OOS until March(!). Is this stock situation similar elsewhere?

Still no production problems? All big distributors in Czech Republic have delivery in end of March.

Info from Distributor:
Because of the problematic production from Mikrotik, the deadline was rapidly shifted until March 2019.
I can not tell you at this point, the exact date, and this date may also move.

There are no production problems. The seller is trying to shift blame, possibly :)
The devices keep being shipped out, as usual, simply some have not planned for high demand. We are also fully reserved months ahead. The product is quite popular.
