Overview
Not a Wi-Fi router, the MikroTik hEX is a compact five port wired router running RouterOS, built for places where wireless is handled elsewhere or not needed. Hardware IPsec speeds up VPN tunnels, and a microSD slot holds logs or The Dude database.
It packs advanced routing, VPN and monitoring into a palm-sized box, which suits a home lab or branch office paired with separate access points. Without Wi-Fi and with a technical interface, it is not a plug and play home router.
Who it's for
Home lab builders and IT staff at small sites get advanced routing and VPN in a tiny box. People wanting simple Wi-Fi should buy a consumer router or mesh kit.
Pros and cons
- Five gigabit ports
- Hardware IPsec acceleration
- Full RouterOS feature set
- USB and microSD storage
- No wireless radio
- Steep RouterOS learning curve
- Warranty listed as none
- VPN speed below wire speed
Performance notes
Routing throughput comes from the dual core CPU, while VPN traffic offloads to the IPsec hardware for higher encrypted speed. Storage on microSD gives faster read and write for The Dude database than internal flash. It can run from passive PoE, so one cable can carry power and data.
