Description
MikroTik RBcAP2nD-cAP for Managed Indoor Wi-Fi
The MikroTik RBcAP2nD-cAP is a ceiling wireless access point that provides 2.4 GHz connectivity for indoor business and hospitality networks. Its discreet housing suits shared spaces where desktop equipment would interrupt the layout. For organisations in Kenya, it combines neat mounting with central wireless management. Additionally, Ethernet power simplifies cable routing, while support for established wireless standards connects compatible phones, laptops and other devices.
Indoor Coverage with Central Control
This access point uses dual-chain 802.11b/g/n wireless and one Fast Ethernet uplink. Meanwhile, RouterOS with a Level 4 licence provides network configuration tools. MikroTik’s Controlled Access Point system Manager (CAPsMAN) lets administrators manage compatible access points centrally, reducing separate configuration work.
The unit suits hotel reception areas, offices and indoor retail spaces. However, walls, interference and user demand affect coverage. Plan access point positions around the premises rather than assuming a single unit will serve every room.
Features That Simplify Installation
-
Dual-chain wireless: Connects compatible 2.4 GHz devices using 802.11b/g/n, supporting everyday indoor network access.
-
CAPsMAN management: Centralises wireless settings, helping administrators maintain consistent configurations across compatible access points.
-
Ceiling or wall mounting: Keeps equipment away from desks and counters, leaving work surfaces clear.
-
Power over Ethernet (PoE): Carries power through the network cable, reducing separate electrical wiring near the mounting point.
-
4 W maximum consumption: Gives installers a clear power requirement when planning several access points.
-
Included installation accessories: A mount, injector, adapter, screws and anchors help prepare the unit for installation.

Why Choose This Ceiling Access Point?
The MikroTik RBcAP2nD-cAP suits deployments that prioritise discreet placement and shared administration. An existing compatible RouterBOARD can host CAPsMAN, avoiding a dedicated controller computer. Furthermore, its defined power requirements help with repeat installations. Match the unit to modest network demands, since its Fast Ethernet connection limits traffic passing through the wired uplink.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this model support 5 GHz devices?
This access point provides 2.4 GHz wireless only. Devices must support its 2.4 GHz standards to connect, even if they also support 5 GHz.
Does the 300 Mbit/s radio deliver a 300 Mbit/s wired connection?
The Ethernet port supports a maximum link speed of 100 Mbit/s. Therefore, the advertised wireless rate does not represent wired throughput or expected internet speed.
What should I confirm when ordering this access point in Kenya?
Ask the seller to confirm the RBcAP2nD product code and the supplied power adapter’s plug type. This helps match the order to the specified model and your installation’s power connection.
Support and Warranty in Kenya
Contact Almiria Kenya to confirm technical support arrangements and warranty terms for the MikroTik RBcAP2nD-cAP before ordering. For an existing managed installation, ask specifically about your RouterOS version and CAPsMAN setup. Clarify whether configuration assistance forms part of the purchase or requires a separate arrangement.
