wAP LTE series
Quick start
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw which secures the bottom lid. Once the screw snaps out of
place, lid can be opened.
2. Power the unit using one of the methods described in the next section of this document.
3. Wireless AP mode is enabled by default, you can connect from your computer to the SSID that begins with
“MikroTik”. The configuration interface is available via web browser. The address is http://192.168.88.1
4. The device is already preconfigured and ready to use, but we suggest to set a wireless password and a
device password to secure your network and protect your device.
Powering
The device supports multiple powering methods.
PoE input
The ethernet port accepts 9-30 V passive PoE power. The box contains a 24 V adapter and a PoE injector. Plug the
included PoE injector into the first or internet port of the router that you will use in your LAN (or directly into your
laptop) and attach an ethernet cable to the PoE injector. Connect the other end of this ethernet cable to the wAP
LTE device. Plug the power supply into the PoE injector.
Power jack
The DC jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug) supports 9-30 V powering, the
device comes with a 24 V 0.8 A power adapter.
Automotive connector
The automotive connector can be used to power the device from regular 12/24 V connections in automobiles and
buses. The plug has four pins: bottom left (black) is the ground, bottom right is power in (red). The upper two are
reserved for future use.
Maximum power consumption at 24 V is 6 W without miniPCIe, and 8 W with full load on the miniPCIe card.
Mounting
The device can be mounted in several ways: wall, ceiling or pole. The package includes a drill hole template, to
help you with the ethernet cable installation and attachment to a ceiling or a wall. The package also includes a steel
bracket to put on the other side of a dropdown ceiling tile and two screws and wall anchors.
To prepare the device for mounting, use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screw inside the unit, which will detach
the mounting plate. Once the mounting plate is removed, use the drill hole template, to help you with cable
installation and attachment to a ceiling or a wall. The template includes visual guides and instructions how to mount
the unit.
Expansion slots and ports
Built in 2 GHz wireless access point module, AP/station/bridge/p2p modes are supported.
One 10/100 ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X). Either straight
or crossover cable can be used for connecting to other network devices. The ethernet port accepts 9-30 V
DC powering from a passive PoE injector.
miniPCIe slot and SIM slot (can’t be used separately) to be used with a 3G/4G/LTE modem (some kits
include it).

Do you recommend RouterBOARD wAP LTE kit?

Frequently Asked Questions

A

You can power it via the included 24 V passive PoE injector (Ethernet port accepts 9–30 V), the DC jack (5.5/2.0 mm, 9–30 V) using the supplied adapter, or the automotive 4‑pin connector for 12/24 V vehicle installations.

Is this answer helpful?

A

Connect to the default SSID or LAN, then open the device IP in a browser (commonly 192.168.88.1 or 192.168.88.14). You can also use Winbox to connect by MAC address from the LAN side if IP access is not available.

Is this answer helpful?

A

Yes. Remove the internal board screws, slide out the PCB, insert a compatible miniPCIe LTE modem, attach MAIN and AUX u.FL antenna leads, secure with screws, reinsert the board and insert a miniSIM (2FF) into the SIM slot.

Is this answer helpful?

A

Use the reset button during boot for staged recovery: short press to reset RouterOS, longer presses enable CAP mode or Netinstall. You can also perform network boot/Netinstall from the first Ethernet port for reinstalling RouterOS.

Is this answer helpful?

A

Yes. The unit provides SMA mounting holes for external antennas and two u.FL connectors for the internal modem. You may mount SMA antennas to the case after removing plastic covers; follow regional antenna certification rules.

Is this answer helpful?

A

RouterOS is preinstalled and the device is preconfigured for immediate use. It is recommended to click 'Check for updates' and update RouterOS to the latest stable version to ensure optimal performance and security.

Is this answer helpful?

A

Mounting options include wall, ceiling, and pole installations. The package includes a drill hole template, mounting plate and a steel bracket for drop ceilings; use the provided screws and anchors for secure attachment.

Product Description

MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP LTE kit — Compact LTE Wi‑Fi Gateway

The MikroTik RouterBOARD wAP LTE kit is a compact, weather‑resistant wireless access point with built‑in LTE modem support, designed for small offices, kiosks, vehicles and remote sites. It combines a 2 GHz Wi‑Fi AP, a single Gigabit‑capable Ethernet port with passive PoE input, a miniPCIe slot for 3G/4G/LTE modems and a SIM slot to deliver mobile broadband where wired connections are unavailable.

Setup is straightforward: open the bottom lid with a Phillips screwdriver, power the unit via the included 24 V adapter/PoE injector, or use the automotive connector for 12/24 V vehicle installations. By default the device broadcasts a MikroTik SSID and provides a web interface at 192.168.88.1 (or 192.168.88.14 on some units) for quick configuration. RouterOS runs on the device, offering a rich feature set — from AP, station and bridge modes to CAP mode and Netinstall recovery options.

Hardware highlights include a robust miniPCIe slot with dual antenna connections and accessible SMA mounting holes for external antennas, a protected miniSIM slot (2FF) with latch, and multiple mounting options (wall, ceiling, pole) aided by a drill template and mounting plate. Power options are flexible: passive PoE (9–30 V), DC jack (5.5/2.0 mm, 9–30 V), or automotive connector. Power consumption is modest (approx. 6 W without miniPCIe modem, up to 8 W under full miniPCIe load).

RouterOS management supports Winbox and web access, firmware updates, and recovery via network boot. The reset button provides multiple boot‑time actions: RouterOS reset, CAP mode, Netinstall or RouterBOOT recovery when used at specific intervals during boot. Compliance notes and regulatory statements (FCC, CE, EAC) are included by the manufacturer; antenna placement and RF exposure guidance must be followed.

This kit is well suited for installers who need a rugged, versatile LTE/Wi‑Fi gateway that can be mounted outdoors or in vehicles, offers flexible powering, and supports advanced RouterOS configuration for routing, firewall and wireless management.

Notes

  • Includes 24 V adapter and PoE injector; check regional power requirements before installation.
  • Use certified antennas where required by local regulations; maintain minimum antenna separation from users as specified.
  • Update RouterOS after first boot for best stability and features.
