MikroTik hAP ac2
Score: 72/100
TP-Link EAP110-Outdoor V3 White
Score: 66/100Rankings
The MikroTik hAP ac² combines dual-band AC1200 Wi-Fi with five Gigabit Ethernet ports and USB support, providing a versatile router/AP solution. Its lack of Wi-Fi 6, low antenna gain, and modest hardware can restrict performance in demanding environments. Perfect for tech-savvy home or small-office setups requiring extensive wired connectivity.
The TP-Link EAP110-Outdoor V3 provides rugged outdoor Wi-Fi N coverage up to 200 m with IP65 protection and passive PoE power. Its performance is confined to 2.4 GHz N300 speeds and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. Suited for outdoor deployments where basic connectivity is sufficient.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the hAP ac² for its robust feature set at a low price, especially the hardware-accelerated IPsec engine and the flexibility of RouterOS Level 4. They also note its compact design, PoE capability, and USB modem support as strong points for small-office deployments, while calling out the modest CPU/RAM and lack of Wi-Fi 6 or SFP as limitations for more demanding scenarios.
Everyday users value the device's configurability, Ethernet richness, and ability to add a 3G/4G backup via USB, but many express frustration with the limited Wi-Fi range, the steep learning curve of RouterOS, and performance drops in congested wireless environments.
Professional sources and retailer descriptions portray the EAP110-Outdoor V3 as a reliable, easy‑to‑install outdoor AP that delivers solid 2.4 GHz coverage up to 200 m and integrates smoothly with TP‑Link's Omada SDN platform. However, they also note its outdated single‑band Wi‑Fi and modest wired speed limit as drawbacks for newer high‑bandwidth deployments.
