Hopefully the price not too steep and a GHz cpu speed.Wonder which chipset they will put inside?ipq6000 series maybe?I might buying one to replace my hap ac2.Been tinkering with openwrt,but seem favour to routeros.Suite my need,on my small house.

I got a feeling it’s going to be 2x2 80Mhz width which would be AX1800 at most. Unless they go full 160Mhz channel extensions.

I found this wifi6 guide from Aruba. Quite handy to figuring out the ax numbers.

hAP ax2 (RBD52Gi-5HaxD2HaxD-TC ?)
• Took nearly forever. LOL. At least he admits it.
• Should be IPQ6000
• Quad Core 1Ghz
• MU-MIMO
• WPA3
• 802.11ax dual chain (2x2) 80Mhz
• AX1800
• 4.5 dBi gain in 2.4Ghz
• 4 dBi gain in 5Ghz
• 1GB Ram
• 5 x GBe (1 is PoE in/out)
• USB 3.0 port
• DC 12-28v
• No more rubbery finish like hAP ac2

So basically same performance class as Deco X20, Asus XD4 or DLink M15. Of course, RouterOS will be its strength. Price wise? RM400 each? X20 is RM520-580 for 2 units.

Wow, interesting spec, and some more WiFi 6, can't wait it arrive in Malaysia.

Someone posted the link to the brochure in Mikrotik forums.
https://mt.lv/hap_ax2

Should be able to "overclock" to 1.2 GHz. (IPQ6010)

Now just wait pricing, sked later T20 price. Supposedly launch next week.

Current Lazada Subtel prices:
hAP ac2 RM388
hAP ac3 RM515
hAP Audience RM699

Where will ax2 slot in?

Also curious to see block diagram and routing speeds.

For this spec,i might just skip this one 1st. and wait for an upgrade version. AX1800 quite low now,atleast ax3000 or ax3200 for future proof should be enough for most people. Although nowadays most people still didn't need high wifi speed,but a wifi router should last for more than 3years.
(Since 2.5Gbe is be mainstream within 2-3years. China is starting to distribute affordable(still a little expensive) 2.5Gbe BTU for market in this years end,so 2024 or 2025 more people will also be using better internet)

For me i think one year one set is quite unacceptable for me.
I change router about every 2-3years. (Next time should be around new series that replace RB5009 level,but i might be getting CCR series for whole house 10G network)

I think it will be steep increase in price,from usd79 for hap ac2.to maybe slighly above hap ac3 price.It is frustrating to compare current ax1800 wifi price 2x lower than that.Even linksys e8450 priced lower than hap ac3 with ax3200.Guest i need to sell more fish to obtain this hap ax2

And again LTE18 and 5G router.

With 2.5Gbe

I cant afford this

is anyone have Private BGP ?

Don't think got USB 3.0port

Ya lor, no USB3 port according to the brochure and product page.

Price is USD99. Not bad. Should be able to get below RM500 here.

Might get it for AP mode. capsman is fun

This is super useful. Maxis LTE line suddenly become faster.

CCTV and tapo plug connected can really mess up your ping which you cannot detect.

Anyone checked with other distris about hAP ax2? Talked to Sublime. <RM500 but ETA Jan 2023. :-(

Saw a few raputable Taobao seller started selling the hap ax2. Wow... for Malaysia need to wait until next year!!!

Hey guys.. currently i have a mikrotik RB750g3 as my main router at home. I currently have 2 WAPs serving wifi for my house. And i also have a guest network served via a seperate vlan. One of the AP broadcasts the guest wlan and dhcp is all handled by the Mikrotik.

My question is if its ok to leave as it or should just utilize the guest network feature on the AP instead and let that AP handle the dhcp assignments etc for the guest network? Any downsides to doing this?
