It is a router and WAP. It has two Ethernet ports, one for WAN, one for LAN, both Gigabit. It also has an integrated WAP. You can of course use it just as a WAP, but yes, the default configuration is a router.

It can be used indoor and outdoor, it has PoE if desired and mounting brackets.

But yes, it is a router in the default configuration.

The capabilities of MikroTik devices are kind of inscrutable to those who have never put hands on them. Yes, they can route (in software). Yes, they can switch (in hardware, across most ports, depending on where they attached the switch controller chip). _All of them_. Some will be faster at some things than others, but by and large, all MikroTik devices have approximately the same capabilities (at potentially vastly different levels of performance, but checking the same boxes nonetheless). The key difference between different models are the physical interfaces (number and characteristics of the Ethernet ports, SFP ports, wireless radios). At a software level, RouterOS is basically just Linux with a consolidated and more consistent management interface.

I'd dare bet that the WiFi-radio and 1000BASE-T -ports are indeed not switched, but connected to the CPU, which as stated above looks very much like a router :)

There's sadly no block diagram released for these, which would document the internal topology. I also do not have this exact device anywhere to look this up from.

Thanks, that looks pretty compelling.
