Where do you ordered?Ordered two
It's always better when device supports 802.11af too. If you don't have PoE infrastructure -- add splitters and use passive PoE, but if you already have -- it's "Plug and Play".passive PoE is cheaper to implement no need for expensive injectors and or switches, that's why mikrotik uses passive PoE to make devices and implementation more affordable.
inside from FCCwill be interesting to see a photo of the inside of that device
Photos? Tests? Screenshots?I Got it. It's so tiny. Great product !!!
Or directly from a usb port from a smart tv/pc. No more PSU/AC plugs!Good idea to make it usb powered. So if there is no poe a powerbank can keep it running.
Fair enough, but you have to consider that a lot of people still use ethernet for configuration. While wireless devices are at hand of almost every one, it is not easy to configure a router using tik-app which is still in development. You have not implemented such thing for SXT for example. I know SXT is supposed to connect to internet through wireless and ethernet to the end user, but still it is so much more handy to configure through ethernet, in my opinion.By default, you are only able to access the router through wireless interface as it is stated in the quick guide. The logic behind that is the ethernet goes to wall (ISP) and users are connected to wireless.
Do you have any in System - Ports? If not, what exactly are you looking for?Anyone knows which are the serial ports?
Well, using that single photo on this thread, look like these pins are on bottom left.Pins on motherboard
PowerBox comes with 24v 2,5Amp power supply, which is completely fine to power four mAPL. While PowerBox output voltage is the same as input voltage (24V), one mAPL at max power consumption will require 0.145AHello! I also got one device. Can anybody explain why this device consumes so much power 3,5W.
I planned to use PowerBOX to connect 4 mAP lite, but it looks like that in this case it is not possible to use it. Even original power supplier provides 2000mA.
I'm right? If so what the best practice to use PoE with mikrotik APs? Traditional PoE injectors is not good solution due to original power supplier of mAP lite has usb connector.
Thanks!
Yes it does, but keep in mind it is a small device so no fancy configurations (vpn, vlan, bgp )Does it have full routerOS functions?
Of course you can, either station or AP is up to the scenario of use. That's the beauty of it, I consider it as a "mobile" wifi device if that name makes sense.I'm wondering if after initial setup I can place it in station mode. Is it possible to use map-lite's ether port to connect the device to wifi ap?
Put it this way, is not that much suitable for covering an apartment, but very good for offices with two or three rooms, or as an extension to another room.What is the range of wifi?

p.s. On high load device make squeak/noise... like dry capacitors
In such case you should consider to add a rule that allows incoming traffic from the subnet that is active on theBy default, you are only able to access the router through wireless interface as it is stated in the quick guide.

This confuses me. If it is full RouterOS, why no VPN, VLAN or BGP?Yes it does, but keep in mind it is a small device so no fancy configurations (vpn, vlan, bgp )Does it have full routerOS functions?
It does have them. The mAP lite has a full speed CPU and will handle VPN and other features.This confuses me. If it is full RouterOS, why no VPN, VLAN or BGP?Yes it does, but keep in mind it is a small device so no fancy configurations (vpn, vlan, bgp )Does it have full routerOS functions?
It looks great! Unfortunately our dealer does not yet sell mAP lite, but the mAP and the hAP AC lite are available.It does have them. The mAP lite has a full speed CPU and will handle VPN and other features.
I'd like to bump this question. I already have my own mAP lite and wanted to share my experience, but instead I'm starting to think that mine must be defective.How are the signal levels?
For example in comparison to some usb wireless dongles, or internal laptop adapters.
I'd like to bump this, too. Did some experiments comparing the mAP lite against mAP 2n in terms of signal/snr, both configured as clients to the same AP. In all Tests mAP 2n seems to have better receiver sensitivity - at close range (two walls) usually ~3dB better than mAP lite, at longer range (one basement, one 1st floor) more like 5-6 dB, no matter if mAP lite has one or two Rx chains enabled. Signal to noise ratio on the mAP 2n was always 7-8 dB better. At close range, the AP however reads mAP lite stronger (higher Rx signal on AP), at longer range its the mAP 2n's advantage. To test the usability of the link, I mac-telnetted from the AP to the clients - at longer range, logging into the mAP 2n worked, into the mAP lite didn't.How are the signal levels?

You confuse mW with mA (and then write mw...)Such ports can only provide 500mw
mAP works fine for me powered by my MacBook Pro.Has anyone tried to power this via USB port on a laptop? Such ports can only provide 500mw but this says 3500mw maximum
I'd like to have one of these in my laptop bag (ideally the normal mAP with its 2 ports to function as a USB powered switch/router)
