MikroTik hAP be3

The MikroTik hAP be³ Media delivers true Wi-Fi 7 performance across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, providing higher throughput, lower latency, improved security, and superior spectral efficiency. The addition of the wide 6 GHz band unlocks more clean spectrum, significantly reducing interference and congestion in busy environments. With support for Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) in MLSR mode, the router can intelligently utilize multiple frequency bands at the same time, resulting in smoother performance and more reliable connections. This makes it ideal for modern homes packed with connected devices, from workstations and NAS systems to VR headsets and high-resolution media streaming. Multiple active devices can operate simultaneously without competing for airtime. The result is a fast, responsive wireless experience that keeps pace with demanding workloads, real-time applications, and bandwidth-intensive tasks in today’s connected environments.

With USB-C, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a microSD card slot, the hAP be³ Media functions as a centralized hub for local storage and media services. Connect external drives or flash storage to create backups, store photos, archive home surveillance footage, or build a private family cloud that stays entirely under your control. Local storage enables privacy-focused workflows, such as self-hosted password managers, document repositories, automation data, and lightweight services without relying on third-party cloud platforms. Everything remains fast, local, and secure. Using the MikroTik BackToHome app and improved file sharing in WinBox, large files can be shared easily without concerns about expired links, delays, or data exposure. With Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, RouterOS v7, and a built-in Thread radio, the device provides a strong foundation for modern smart homes. Support for containers and Matter-over-Thread solutions enables flexible, local, and customizable automation deployments.

Powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core IPQ-5322 CPU based on an efficient ARM64 architecture, the hAP be³ Media is built for far more than basic networking. It handles advanced routing, complex firewall rules, encryption, multiple VPNs, BGP, and containerized workloads with ease, all on a single compact device. With 2 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 MB NAND storage, and five 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports (including PoE-in), it delivers the performance and connectivity required for demanding home labs and creative workflows. Full container support allows users to deploy dashboards, network monitoring tools, lightweight web services, or experimental local applications. A simplified one-click container setup in WinBox lowers the barrier to entry, making advanced features accessible without subscriptions or licensing restrictions. You buy the device once and retain full access to its capabilities—performance and flexibility designed to remain relevant for years to come.
