You can set up the Ethernet ports to act as a simple switch. Take a few minutes to explore the online demo of their web administration interface before you continue reading. You’re required to know what you’re doing, or at least be willing to put in the time to learn it.
RouterOS can be configured to make anything you’d like out of your network. MikroTik’s network products are powered by its proprietary RouterOS operating system. The yellowing is the cosmetic price you pay for a quiet and passively cooled/fanless router. The yellowing indicates that the router has struggled to shed excess heat which has accelerated aging in the plastic.
The processor/heatsink is located directly underneath the yellowed area. For comparison: the Vilfo VPN router is intended for a similarly sized network, but features a twice as fast processor and 2 GiB of RAM.Īs you can see from the above photo, a section of the hEX’s plastic top chassis has turned yellow. However, the server will be bottlenecked by the processor before reaching speeds above ≈60 Mbps. MikroTik comes with OpenVPN and L2TP/IPsec servers built-in, but there isn’t support for the newer WireGuard protocol. It can also do light Virtual Private Network ( VPN) server duties for a handful of clients. That’s more than enough for most customers, though. However, it fizzles out at around 380 Mbps for routing, so it won’t be enough to handle a full Gigabit internet connection. It can handle 1 Gigabit of package switching under an optimal configuration. Yet, it costs only just shy of 50 Euro (60 US). That’s roughly double the processing power and two–four times the RAM found in most consumer routers. The hEX features five Gigabit Ethernet ports, an 0,88 GHz dual-core MIPS processor, and 0,25 GB RAM in a compact enclosure (optional). It’s not a consumer-grade product, and it certainly isn’t your grandma’s router! I’ve used it as my home router for the last five years. The MikroTik hEX (RB750Gr3) (ad: available on Amazon) is an inexpensive network router with advanced capabilities.
