FAQs
Q1: Is the RBcAP2nD suitable for Kenyan hotels or offices?
Yes—its ceiling design, PoE flexibility, and central management via CAPsMAN make it ideal for hospitality and business settings.
Q2: Can it handle Nairobi’s dusty or hot conditions?
Absolutely—its fanless design and wide -40 °C to +70 °C range suit high ambient temperatures and dusty environments.
Q3: Do I need separate software to manage multiple units?
No—CAPsMAN lets you manage all APs from an existing MikroTik router, with no extra hardware required.
Q4: What’s included in the box?
You get the RBcAP2nD unit, PoE injector, power adapter, ceiling mount kit, screws, and anchors
Q5: Is it future-proof?
While it’s Wi-Fi 4 (2.4 GHz), it’s firmware-supported long-term. However, for heavier usage or future speed needs, consider upgrading eventually.
