MikroTik RouterBOARD cAP-2nD Ceiling Access Point
Product Overview
The MikroTik cAP-2nD (Model: RBcAP2nD) is a compact, wall- and ceiling-mountable indoor wireless access point designed for unobtrusive Wi-Fi coverage across commercial offices, hotels, shopping centers, educational facilities, and public spaces. Operating on the 2.4 GHz band ($802.11\text{b/g/n}$) with dual-chain $2\times2$ MIMO technology, it delivers wireless throughput speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Powered by a Qualcomm QCA9533 650 MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, and running RouterOS with a Level 4 license, the MikroTik cAP-2nD fully supports MikroTik’s CAPsMAN (Controlled Access Point System Manager). This enables centralized controller management of hundreds of AP units from a single primary MikroTik router without requiring expensive dedicated hardware controllers.
