Mikrotik RouterBoard mAP RBmAP2nD micro Access Point wireless Dual-Chain

The mAP is an incredible power player that offers the full functionality of RouterOS in a tiny, portable footprint. It provides a stable, dual-chain wireless connection and the PoE flexibility makes it perfect for travel or discreet setups in tight spaces. I’m extremely happy with how such a small device delivers professional-grade control and reliable performance, it's easily the best compact networking solution I've used.

I keep one in the motorhome, one in the toolbox, and one in the kitchen drawer. Any time the campsite signal is weaker than tea, I plug this in and everyone’s happy again. Real life: Cigarette-lighter cable in → instant hotspot. Phone connects, laptops connect, smart TV connects, no dropouts. Set a 10-second guest password for the neighbours, then kick them off at bedtime. PoE port runs the outside camera without a separate plug. Kids think the caravan has “proper internet” now.

These are great for hooking up to 4G USB modem cards to create a WiFi hotspot. MikroTik routerboards are extremely configurable, my favorite. Setup might be too much for the average consumer. Advanced settings do need to be tweaked to make it work as: dualwan, failback or 4G USB modem. Only complaint: The mini USB connector is too weak, wish MikroTik had used a beefy USB A connector instead.(cost them one star, sorry) I had one of these that the mini USB connector came unsoldered after being bumped a few times in a mobile environment. I purchased a second mAP to replace the broken device. I will be more careful with my mobile hotspot. Confirmed working on several Verizon modems. 1st hooked to a ** Verizon USB551L setup as ppp, worked great after much T&E. Next configured a MiFi U620L after reading their latest firmware added support. (download packages all_packages-mipsbe-6.38rc43 or higher. RC43 change log shows: lte - added support for novatel USB620L Verizon's MiFi 4G USB) both devices work great once setup. I love winbox, great setup tool. Now running a mobile VPN hotspot! It took a while to setup so I will share setup to make it function on verizon, Warning Boring stuff below. Settings for U620L and USB551L In winbox: Click: IP, DHCP Client. Double click on “Defconf ether1”, click: Copy. We will now clone this rule that is pre setup for eth1 In the new box change interface to “lte1” Click apply, ok. Click Cancel on ether1 box. (this will allow either ether1 or LTE internet source=Dual WAN MAN). Close DHCP Client box. (HaHa "either ether" HeeHee) (**old USB551L cards skip DHCP Client- Don't plug in card until APN is blanked out on PPP setup) Click: IP, Firewall, filter Rules tab. Double click on rule three (WAN input rule, we will now clone this rule that is pre setup for eth1) Click: Copy, in new box click: General, change “in. Interface” to lte1, click: apply, OK, and then close/cancel the Ether1 box. (**USB551L cards select “all ppp” instead of lte1) Do the same thing with Filter Rules #8 on the bottom of filter rules.

USB551L below: ** careful setting up USB551l cards- remove default APN from ppp setings before plugging into router. If you do you will loose 4g - no more blue LED If you loose 4G search "USB551L incorrect APN settings at+cgdcont?" to find the 4G fix Click on advanced tab to show settings Modem init ATZ leave everything else blank Verizon Dial 899***3#

Not easy to set up. Eth1 is the Poe port, but it’s also the wan port. When you try to set it up as a AP, lots of steps to change the port bridge, pull the port out of dhcp client and clear the fire wall rules. If you know MikroTik, pretty straightforward. If not, it’s a pain in the butt.

The seller was prompt and price reasonable. Setup for my needs (extend WiFi coverage with Cat6/POE but no mains power) was extremely easy. The router is very small, which was nice in my situation.

Mikrotik Map 2nD: Portable, convenient, lightweight, seems to have a memory leak or something, internet performance will steadily degrade across ~1-2 days until you are around 0.2mbps up/down. Power cycle it and its decent again. UPDATE - actually it endlessly gets worse over time. I've had this one about 1.5 years and it is incapable of keeping up with light web browsing, letting a print job get from a computer to a printer, etc. 3000+ms rtt pings are not uncommon.

This router works great.. super easy to use as long as u set it up right. I use Home Ap mode and run it as a dhcp server to poe devices.. the poe in and out work great. Love this thing

Good little modem if you are into exploring that sector
