The MikroTik hAP ax2 (model C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC) is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 15,500, brand new and sealed, with full RouterOS control. The MikroTik hAP ax2 pairs dual-band Wi-Fi 6 rated AX1800, for wireless speeds of up to 1.8Gbps, with an 864MHz quad-core CPU and 1GB of RAM. It carries five Gigabit Ethernet ports, a USB 3.0 port, PoE input and output, and RouterOS v7 with a Level 4 licence. Our shop sits on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can watch it running and check every port before you pay.
Designed for small offices, family homes, landlords and Wi-Fi resellers across Kenya, the MikroTik hAP ax2 handles routing, Wi-Fi and wired devices from one compact box. Many offices outgrow the router their ISP installed: the signal drops in back rooms, the CCTV camera needs its own power point, and there is no way to limit one user's downloads. This unit fixes each of those problems. Its five ports wire up desktops, a printer and a switch, Ether1 can power a camera or access point over the network cable, and RouterOS lets you cap bandwidth per user.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that treat MikroTik gear as a box on a shelf, Mascom International sells the MikroTik hAP ax2 sealed, explains the setup options before you pay, and backs it with a 12-month warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing small businesses in Upper Hill and Industrial Area choose the MikroTik hAP ax2 because its 1GB of memory leaves room for VPNs and hotspot users at the same time. Come to the store to test it, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the MikroTik hAP ax2
What is the MikroTik hAP ax2 C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC price in Kenya?
The MikroTik hAP ax2 C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC sells for KSh 15,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the router, its power adapter and a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. You pay on arrival, whether you collect it on Kimathi Street or receive it at your office. For Wi-Fi 7 and a 2.5GbE port, the MikroTik hAP be lite costs KSh 2,000 less at KSh 13,500, and a rackmount wired build, the MikroTik L009UiGS-RM, costs KSh 20,000.
Is the MikroTik hAP ax2 better than the MikroTik hAP ax lite?
The MikroTik hAP ax2 adds a 5GHz radio, more ports and more memory for KSh 5,200 above the MikroTik hAP ax lite at KSh 10,300. The MikroTik hAP ax lite offers 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi 6 at up to 574Mbps, an 800MHz dual-core CPU, 256MB of RAM, four Gigabit ports and PoE-in. The MikroTik hAP ax2 brings dual-band AX1800, a quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, five ports, USB 3.0 and PoE-out. Pick the ax lite for a bedsitter or one-room shop; pick the ax2 for a full house or office.
Can the MikroTik hAP ax2 power a CCTV camera or access point?
Yes, the MikroTik hAP ax2 sends passive PoE out of its Ether1 port, so one network cable carries both data and power to a compatible device. The output is limited to 600mA, with a total of 16.8W. That suits many IP cameras and small access points, but check the device accepts passive PoE at the router's input voltage before connecting. Shops in Nairobi CBD and estates in Kitengela use this to place a camera or extra access point without running a separate power socket.
Does the MikroTik hAP ax2 work with Safaricom Home Fibre and 4G backup?
The MikroTik hAP ax2 works with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and any Kenyan ISP that delivers internet over an Ethernet cable from its fibre terminal. RouterOS handles DHCP and PPPoE logins. The USB 3.0 port accepts many USB LTE modems, so a Safaricom or Airtel Kenya 4G stick can take over when the fibre line goes down. RouterOS can switch to the backup link automatically. Ask Mascom International to confirm your modem model before you buy, because not every USB modem is supported.
How do I keep the MikroTik hAP ax2 running during KPLC power cuts?
The MikroTik hAP ax2 uses about 12W on its own and up to 27W when powering a PoE device, so a small UPS carries it through typical KPLC outages. It accepts 12 to 28V through the DC jack or 18 to 28V through PoE-in. That second option lets one UPS-backed PoE switch power several routers and access points across a building. Put the fibre terminal on the same UPS, otherwise the internet still drops when the lights go. Mascom International stocks UPS units sized for this kind of setup.
Who should buy the MikroTik hAP ax2 and who should skip it?
The MikroTik hAP ax2 suits small offices, clinics, accountants' firms and family homes that need dual-band Wi-Fi, five wired ports and PoE in one unit. It also fits Wi-Fi resellers who want hotspot features and room for VPNs. Skip it if you want Wi-Fi 7 or a 2.5GbE uplink; the MikroTik hAP be lite covers that for less. Skip it as well if you need eight wired ports in a rack, where the MikroTik L009UiGS-RM fits better. Budget buyers can look at the MikroTik hAP ac lite at KSh 9,500.
Is the MikroTik hAP ax2 good for a cyber café or small office?
The MikroTik hAP ax2 is a sound choice for a cyber café or office with a handful of wired PCs and a room full of phones on Wi-Fi. Its five Gigabit ports connect desktops directly or feed a larger switch. RouterOS queues let you give the till and the accounts PC priority over staff phones, so KRA iTax filings and M-Pesa statements load quickly. The hotspot feature can also sell timed Wi-Fi to walk-in customers. The 1GB of RAM keeps these jobs running together without strain.
Is the MikroTik hAP ax2 the same router as the hAP ax²?
Yes, the MikroTik hAP ax2 and the hAP ax² are the same product; MikroTik styles the name with a superscript 2, while most buyers type a plain 2. Both names refer to model C52iG-5HaxD2HaxD-TC, which is the code printed on the box and the label underneath. Searching either name, or the model code, leads to the same specifications. When ordering from Mascom International on WhatsApp, any of the three is enough for our team to confirm stock.
Technical Specifications
Wi-Fi Radio
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 rated AX1800 — combined wireless speed of up to 1.8Gbps across the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands for phones, laptops and TVs.
- 802.11ax on both bands — Wi-Fi 6 handles many devices at once more efficiently than older Wi-Fi 5 routers in busy homes and offices.
- Two chains on each band — two antennas transmit and receive on each band, which lifts speed and keeps the link steadier at a distance.
- QCN-5052 wireless chips — dedicated radio chips for each band, leaving the main processor free for routing and firewall work.
- Built-in antennas of 4.5 dBi on 2.4GHz and 4 dBi on 5GHz — antenna gain describes how strongly the signal is focused outward into the room.
Processor and Memory
- IPQ-6010 quad-core CPU at 864MHz — four processing cores share routing, firewall, VPN and wireless tasks so the network stays responsive.
- ARM 64-bit architecture — a modern chip design that RouterOS v7 supports fully, with updates delivered straight from MikroTik.
- 1GB RAM — plenty of headroom for long firewall lists, per-user bandwidth queues, VPN tunnels and hotspot sessions running together.
- 128MB NAND storage — internal memory that holds RouterOS, your configuration and backup files safely through restarts and power cuts.
- IPQ-6010 switch function — the same chip switches traffic between the five Ethernet ports, so local file transfers move at full Gigabit speed.
Ethernet Ports and Power
- Five 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports — wired links of up to one gigabit each for desktops, printers, TV boxes, a NAS or a switch.
- USB 3.0 port — connect a supported USB LTE modem for backup internet or a USB drive for file sharing across the office.
- PoE-in from 18 to 28V — the router can take power from a PoE switch or injector instead of a wall adapter.
- Passive PoE-out on Ether1, up to 600mA — powers one compatible camera or access point, with a total PoE-out budget of 16.8W.
- DC jack from 12 to 28V with a 24V 1.2A adapter rating — draws about 12W alone and up to 27W while powering an attached device.
RouterOS Software
- RouterOS v7 preinstalled — MikroTik's operating system, giving full control of routing, firewall, VPN, wireless and user management settings.
- Level 4 licence — the RouterOS feature tier for this unit, covering home, office and small hotspot use, including access point mode.
- Hotspot and user manager — present customers with a login page and sell time or data vouchers on a shared Wi-Fi network.
- Queues and firewall — cap each user's bandwidth, block unwanted sites and give priority to the devices that matter most during work hours.
- WinBox, WebFig and mobile app — configure the router from a Windows PC, any browser or a phone, either on site or remotely.
Build and Setup
- Compact 120 x 101 x 37 mm body — small enough for a shelf, desk or wall cabinet without taking much room in a tight office.
- Rated from -40°C to +50°C — copes with warm rooms and closed cabinets where air conditioning is unreliable or switched off overnight.
- IP20 rating — designed for indoor use only, so keep it away from rain, splashing water and outdoor walls.
- Two power inputs, DC jack and PoE-in — choose wall power or network-cable power depending on where the nearest socket is.
- Default configuration from the factory — a basic home network works straight from the box, with deeper settings available when you need them.
