Tiny POE WAP?

[Jae Tee]

I'm looking for the smallest POE WAP with decent speed and reliability. I want it to be simple and small enough to carry around in a bag.

Most aps are pretty small, will easily fit in a bay you can carry around.

 

Something like the unifi ap ac lite? Rukus r710? TP link omada?

I was hoping for something a fair bit smaller, but I might be reaching a little too far.

Why not just mobile hotspot?

Something to look out for. I have seen smaller, but they won't perform nearly as good as this.

This is specifically for connecting to existing network infrastructure

Gotcha.

 

@Electronics WizardyI have a quick question for ya, can you use a mesh antenna for a WAP? Because this exists too, made by Ubiquiti. https://store.ui.com/products/unifi-ac-mesh-ap

The Mikrotik mAP https://mikrotik.com/product/RBmAP2nD is the smallest POE input AP I am aware of. I bring it to hotels and have powered it off the walljacks, or the passthrough POE port of an in-wall AP. The downside is it is 2.4GHz N-only, as well as being Mikrotik meaning it has a learning curve. But for a single hotel room, it has the ability to be as good of an AP as can be expected from 2.4GHz N.

That is about the smallest i've seen.  Its made as a wallplate, but can be used as just a small AP with a POE connection and sitting on a desk.
