MikroTik hEX S Gigabit Ethernet Router with SFP Port (RB760iGS)

I had expected the small home version to be less customizable, but I was wrong. Despite their inherent limitations, RouterOS and Winbox are extremely powerful network management tools that can give my company more (if not more) flexibility and speed than Cisco devices that are two times the price. A router 4 times the price, but with the same features. It has very similar features to a $1200 Cisco router, but obviously has lower Now this thing isn't just plug and go if you're just looking for a simple home router, but if you figure out how to use a computer without having to call your nephew every week, you should do okay. It has a quick automatic setup I was tired of using Comcast's lackluster modem/router so I went to YouTube and saw some tutorials that showed me how to build a gaming router for half the price. There were bugs in the webui and it was You can now set up a mesh wifi, hot spots or controlled access points (with an additional hardware purchase of course). This includes load balancing and QoS that can be tailored by client, connection, type of traffic, and even level 7 application protocol. For example, if you want to set up VPNs, generate certificates, maintain blacklists and whitelists, prevent port scans, floods, and brute force attacks, and use sync cookies, you can do that. With this software, you can do many things monitor network traffic, set up virtual networks, maintain multiple local networks, block certain applications, and more. On a router that costs $60! You can accomplish about 20% of that. Could you please tell me if you corrupted the configuration? It's cool, just reset it and load the What happened to your hardware? I have just loaded the backup onto a new Mikrotik There is a great deal of compatibility between It took 15 minutes for the configuration from my work cloud-core router at work to be applied to this HexS. Although it may seem like a long winded explanation, I absolutely adore.

My Internet Service Provider has been replaced by this one - A wireless router supplied by AXIS Networks was paired with the Unifi AP-supplied by the supplier This is the Pro version of AC. Having done a little manual setup on the new setup (novice-intermediate skill level), it works really well. I was only having a couple of issues with the PoE port
1) The AP cannot be powered by the PoE port. It is not required, but I bought it thinking it could be used for other things (not a The Pro Unifi APs can be powered using passive PoE via this passive power supply). It was necessary for me to order a separate power supply for PoE. As a result of not checking the specs more carefully, I made a mistake. 2) I couldn't access my NAS using its hostname after switching to this router. First-time Mikrotik users appear to face this issue frequently, and the company's forum provides plenty of resources for helping them resolve it. Upon investigation, I found that I can either use scripts (requiring intermediate skills) or manually assign a hostname to a specific IP/MAC. (My reason for docking a star is that I wish there was a built-in feature for this). My original choice was the Mikrotik hEX RB750Gr3, which had the same hardware except for the passive PoE out (since I had to buy a separate PoE injector) and the SFP port (which I don't think I'll The router is solid rest of the way and has a lot of customization options.

I was unable to handle the 1Gbps throughput with my Sonicwall NSA220. With the Sonicwall, I was getting around 250Mbps max. In order to find a cheap solution, I went out on a limb. It was very basic to receive the Comcast cable modem rental box. I returned the Comcast monthly rental because I could not change DNS or any of the other settings. My own Arris SB8200 DOCSIS 3 is now up and running. The router is a Mircotik Gigabit router, as well as one cable modem. I was very satisfied with the results! Now that I have gigabit speeds, I do not need to pay Comcast to service my Comcast modem and I don't need to pay a monthly rental fee. My cost is likely to be recouped in one month. I have been in this field for five - (Pros)* - This is cheaper than a Sonicwall TZ500 (MSRP $1,200*) - LOL* I forgot to mention how inexpensive this is. Simple setup, a few NATs, and DDNS allow you to get up to gigabit speeds! I. - It has a small footprint, so it's easy to move around.
- Resulting in a faster boot time. I. - For people who are not IT-savvy, the user interface is very easy to use. I. - It includes a DDNS-like service, for dynamic public IPs requiring connection to security cameras, NAS boxes, servers, VPNs, etc. The service eliminates the need for dynamic DNS. There is no IP address for org. You can google it for more information. This is similar to Synology's quickid service, etc.
An Ethernet switch with five ports. As for the rest 4 ports, I used the Comcast WAN interface as an input, and the port 1 as an output. I. - With 192, I have managed all of my configurations and deployments via the web browser. As of now, I have not downloaded and used the winbox configuration In short, (CONS)
- In contrast to Sonic OS' sleek design, Interface OS is more of a rough-around-the-edges effort. I'm biased, but I still believe what I believe. I. - There are fewer interfaces on a Sonicwall TZ500 than on a Sonicwall TZ300. I. - It is necessary to have IT knowledge regarding interface and operating system. I would like to see a basic end user, such as my mom, wife, children, grandparents, etc. The answer is impossible for me to figure I. - Leaving my position at Sonicwall as an enterprise certified Systems Engineer, I watched a number of videos on how to create hairpin destination NATs, etc. It's just not as obvious as it seems. In other words, you need to figure out where things are located and how their operating system works, but once you know their layout and procedures, it's not too difficult. I. - Taking the barrel plug of the Microtik Router as power supply, the adapter provides the power to the device. Moving the router has caused the power cable to fall out a few times. If left untouched, it is fine. Would have been nice to see them include some type of quick release power connector, since the majority of these devices include one.
