Condition: New

The MikroTik hAP lite is available at Mascom International for KSh 5,500, brand new and sealed, with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 4 at up to 300Mbps, a 650MHz processor, 32MB of RAM and four 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports. The MikroTik hAP lite runs RouterOS Level 4, the same operating system MikroTik puts on its larger routers, so a small box gets proper firewall, hotspot and bandwidth tools. It takes power from a 5V micro-USB input and carries a WPS button for quick device pairing. Mascom International keeps it in stock at the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for households, small shops, cyber café owners and office managers across Kenya, the MikroTik hAP lite turns a single fibre connection into a managed network. Many Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku and Faiba customers rely on the basic box their provider installs, and that box gives little control over who uses the line. Plug the MikroTik hAP lite in behind it and you can cap each user's speed, block streaming during work hours and see which device uses the most data. Hotspot operators use the same features to sell timed Wi-Fi access in estates and market centres.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell consumer routers with locked menus, Mascom International stocks the MikroTik hAP lite because it gives the buyer full control at an entry price. Customers across Nairobi tell us they start with one unit for a home or kiosk, then add more as their hotspot or office grows, keeping the same RouterOS skills. Buyers throughout Kenya report that its low power draw keeps the MikroTik hAP lite running from a small UPS when KPLC cuts supply. Visit the store to see it working, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the MikroTik hAP lite
How much is the MikroTik hAP lite in Kenya?
The MikroTik hAP lite costs KSh 5,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed in its MikroTik box. That price includes the 5V 1A power adapter, RouterOS Level 4 already installed, a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. If you need a 5GHz band and a USB port, the MikroTik hAP ac lite sells for KSh 9,500, which is KSh 4,000 more. For Gigabit ports and Wi-Fi 6, the MikroTik hAP ax lite is KSh 10,300.
Does the MikroTik hAP lite work with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku and Faiba?
Yes, the MikroTik hAP lite works with Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, Faiba and other Kenyan fibre or fixed wireless providers. It has no fibre socket or SIM slot of its own, so it connects by Ethernet cable to the box your provider installs. Port 1 acts as the internet port in the default setup, and RouterOS supports the DHCP, PPPoE and static IP connection types Kenyan providers use. If your provider uses PPPoE, get the username and password from them before you start.
Can the MikroTik hAP lite run a Wi-Fi hotspot or billing business?
Yes, RouterOS Level 4 on the MikroTik hAP lite includes the Hotspot feature that operators across Kenya use to sell timed or data-based Wi-Fi access. Customers log in through a captive page with a voucher code, and many Kenyan billing platforms link that login to M-Pesa payments. With 32MB of RAM and a single-core 650MHz processor, it suits a small kiosk, cyber café or estate block rather than a busy venue. Larger hotspots are better served by the MikroTik L009UiGS-RM with RouterOS Level 5.
What is the difference between the MikroTik hAP lite and the MikroTik hAP ac lite?
The MikroTik hAP ac lite adds a 5GHz Wi-Fi band at up to 433Mbps, a fifth Ethernet port, a USB port and PoE in and out, for KSh 4,000 more. Both use a 650MHz processor and 10/100Mbps ports, but the MikroTik hAP ac lite doubles the RAM to 64MB. Choose the MikroTik hAP lite for a small flat, kiosk or single-room office on a tight budget. Choose the MikroTik hAP ac lite when neighbours' 2.4GHz networks crowd the air or you need to power an outdoor access point.
Is the MikroTik hAP lite fast enough for my fibre plan?
The MikroTik hAP lite handles fibre plans up to 100Mbps, because each of its four Ethernet ports runs at 10/100Mbps. That covers many of the home and small-office fibre packages sold in Kenya. Its Wi-Fi 4 radio on 2.4GHz is rated at up to 300Mbps, though real speeds drop with distance and walls. If you pay for a plan above 100Mbps, the MikroTik hAP ax lite at KSh 10,300 has Gigabit ports that pass the full speed to your devices.
What does RouterOS Level 4 mean on the MikroTik hAP lite?
RouterOS Level 4 is the software licence preinstalled on the MikroTik hAP lite, and it never expires or needs renewing. It unlocks wireless access point mode, the Hotspot captive portal, a PPPoE server, VPN tunnels, firewall rules and queues that set speed limits per user. Level 4 is the standard licence on MikroTik home and office routers, while Levels 5 and 6 add room for larger operators. For a home, shop or small office, Level 4 covers every feature you are likely to use.
Is the MikroTik hAP lite hard to set up for a beginner?
The MikroTik hAP lite ships with a default home configuration, so it routes traffic once it is cabled to your fibre box and powered on. The QuickSet page in the browser interface, or the free WinBox app, then lets you set the network name, Wi-Fi password and connection type on one screen. Deeper features such as hotspot pages and speed queues take more learning, and many IT technicians in Kenya already know RouterOS. Send us a WhatsApp message with any setup question before you buy.
Who should buy the MikroTik hAP lite, and who should skip it?
Buy the MikroTik hAP lite if you want control over a home, kiosk or small-office network for KSh 5,500 and your fibre plan sits at 100Mbps or below. It suits students sharing one line in hostels near Kenyatta University or JKUAT, small cyber cafés and first-time hotspot operators. Skip it if you need 5GHz Wi-Fi, Gigabit speeds or coverage across a large house. Those buyers are better served by the MikroTik hAP ac lite, the MikroTik hAP ax lite or the MikroTik hAP ax2, all stocked at Mascom International.
Technical Specifications
Wireless
- 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 4 (802.11b/g/n) — the band that almost every phone, laptop, TV and wireless printer can join without extra adapters.
- Up to 300Mbps wireless link rate — the rated top speed between router and device; real speeds fall as distance and walls increase.
- Two radio chains — two antennas send and receive at the same time, which keeps the link steadier for phones and laptops that support it.
- 1.5dBi built-in antennas — internal antennas sized for a flat, a single shop floor or a small office rather than a large compound.
- WPS button — pair a printer or other device by pressing one button instead of typing a long Wi-Fi password by hand.
Processor and Memory
- QCA9533 processor at 650MHz — a single-core chip that handles routing, firewall checks and Wi-Fi traffic for a small network.
- 32MB of RAM — enough working memory for firewall rules, a small hotspot and basic speed limits for a handful of users.
- 16MB of flash storage — holds RouterOS, your settings and a backup file, so the configuration survives every power cut.
- Fanless design — there is no fan to collect dust or make noise, so the router runs silently on a desk or shelf.
- Rated from -20°C to 60°C — MikroTik's operating range sits well beyond normal room temperatures, including hot shop interiors in the afternoon.
Ethernet Ports and Power
- Four 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports — connect a fibre box, desktop computer, TV or network switch by cable at up to 100Mbps each.
- Port 1 set as the internet port by default — the provider's cable goes into port 1 and the other three ports serve your devices.
- 5V micro-USB power input — the same connector many older phone chargers use, so a power bank can keep it running in an emergency.
- 3.5W highest power draw — a light load, so a modest UPS or power bank keeps the network online for long stretches.
- 5V 1A power adapter included — the adapter MikroTik supplies matches the input exactly, so no separate charger needs to be bought.
RouterOS Software
- RouterOS Level 4 licence — preinstalled and permanent, covering access point mode, hotspot, PPPoE server and VPN features without any yearly fee.
- Firewall and NAT — block unwanted traffic, filter chosen websites and keep guest devices away from office computers and shared printers.
- Queues — set a speed limit for each device or each user, so one person streaming video does not slow down everyone else.
- Hotspot captive portal — show a login page that accepts voucher codes, the starting point for paid Wi-Fi in kiosks and estates.
- WinBox, WebFig and QuickSet — three ways to manage the router: a free desktop app, a browser page and a one-screen setup wizard.
Build and Setup
- Compact flat casing — the classic desktop version of the MikroTik hAP lite sits on a desk or shelf and takes little space.
- Model code RB941-2nD — quote this code when buying spares or searching MikroTik's documentation, since it identifies the exact hardware version.
- Status lights — LEDs for power and each port show at a glance whether cables are connected and traffic is moving.
- Default home configuration — Wi-Fi, firewall and internet port come preset from the factory, so a basic setup takes only a few minutes.
- Netinstall recovery — MikroTik's free tool reinstalls RouterOS from a computer if a configuration change ever locks you out of the router.
Package Contents
The MikroTik hAP lite arrives brand new and sealed in its MikroTik retail box. Inside you get the router itself and the 5V 1A power adapter that MikroTik supplies for its micro-USB input. MikroTik lists no Ethernet cable in the box, so if your fibre box sits away from the router, ask Mascom International about patch cables when you order. RouterOS Level 4 is already installed and licensed, so nothing extra is needed to start using it on day one.
Warranty
The MikroTik hAP lite ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Claims are handled at our service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Bring the router, its adapter and your proof of purchase.
