Access Point Mikrotik cAP-2nD 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11n

The MikroTik cAP-2nD 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11n is a compact indoor ceiling access point designed to provide stable wireless coverage in hospitality, retail and public environments. Operating on the 2.4 GHz band with IEEE 802.11b/g/n support and a dual-chain radio design, the unit delivers reliable connectivity for client devices while maintaining a low power profile. The cAP-2nD supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for flexible placement and requires up to 4 W of power. The device includes a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and ships with mounting hardware, a PoE injector and a power adapter for straightforward installation.

Advantages

The cAP-2nD combines a minimal, discreet white housing with dual-chain 2.4 GHz wireless performance, making it suitable for ceiling or wall mounting without drawing attention. Native support for PoE simplifies cabling and placement, and the device integrates with MikroTik CAPsMAN for centralized management of multiple access points. Low power consumption and a single 10/100 Ethernet interface make it easy to add wireless coverage in locations with existing wired infrastructure.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Hotel guest rooms, corridors and lobbies
• Retail spaces and shopping centres
• Small offices and meeting rooms
• Airport lounges and public waiting areas
• Managed networks using CAPsMAN for centralized AP control

How to use

Mount the cAP-2nD on a ceiling or wall using the included screws and anchors, then connect it to a PoE-capable switch or the supplied PoE injector to provide power and network connectivity via the single Ethernet port. Access the MikroTik RouterOS web interface or use CAPsMAN on a MikroTik RouterBOARD device to configure wireless SSIDs, security settings and channel parameters. Position the unit centrally in the coverage area and avoid placing it near large metal objects or other sources of interference for best performance.

Usage recommendations

For managed deployments, use CAPsMAN to apply consistent SSID, security and radio settings across multiple cAP-2nD units. When installing in high-traffic public areas, plan channel assignments to minimise co-channel interference and ensure appropriate security settings (WPA2/WPA3 if supported by client devices) to protect user traffic.
