The hEX is a five-port Gigabit Ethernet router for locations where wireless connectivity is not required. The device features a full-sized USB port. This new updated version of the hEX brings several performance improvements.
It is affordable, small, and easy to use, but at the same time, it features a very powerful dual-core 880MHz CPU and 256MB RAM, capable of all the advanced configurations supported by RouterOS.
Hardware IPsec encryption (~470 Mbps) and the Dude server package are supported, the microSD slot on this provides improved r/w speed for file storage and Dude.

If you know about networks, it is flawless and extremely value for money.
If you don't know, it is not user friendly at all and I wouldn't recommend it at all to someone who doesn't know.
In the router world, it's not even plug & play, so not that either.
For those who know, it gives incredible capabilities for their money.
I really liked the flexibility it provides in VLANs and firewall rules
Whatever you say about this Mikrotik is not enough.
Excellent. It is fast. It has not caused any problems in the network compared to the TP-LINK ER605, which used to freeze for a few seconds.
It has a flawlessly working VPN set up on it.
The mobile application allows you to control it from there.
Excellent machine! I use it as a router/firewall/vpn.
The Mikrotik runs perfectly on it.
I have 3 LANs connected to it and it works flawlessly...
From what I've seen, it can route up to 500mbit.
Mikrotik machines are incredibly powerful, mainly due to routerOS. Everyone says they are not for beginners, without explaining what a beginner is. If you want to do ANYTHING, you have to watch a video. It is so complex that even if you have done something simple, you won't remember it afterwards. So basically, it is aimed at network technicians who have immersed themselves in the subject and this specific operating system. Otherwise, set & forget.
I have changed quite a few routers in my life, tinkered with my networks a bit, and I thought, okay, I will learn it. Oh no. I found everything on the internet and did it, and I feel like I have a tool. But I feel like I need the help of the internet to do the simplest things.
I am at a point where I constantly change LTE/5G routers at home, and I am setting up a network for three apartments that will share a common connection. So I wanted to buy a device that would be the backbone, to put each apartment in a different VLAN, and simply keep the rest of the network the same when I change the modem without much hassle.
It will require quite a bit of work, as it seems, and I don't know if it's worth it because in the end, maybe with something else, if and when a problem arises, I don't know how quickly I will be able to solve it if I look at a super complex menu like a fool.
Anyway, I think it's a good purchase, but I don't know if it's suitable for most people. I don't know if I would be better off with TP-Link's Omada after all
Excellent value for money. Uptime 3.5 months and no issues. Get rid of your provider's router and save yourself. Difficult to configure, not for beginners. However, there are many guides available on the internet for assistance. If someone finds it challenging and doesn't want/can't deal with it, flash it with OpenWRT.
Mikrotik with Router OS can do incredible things compared to their cost.
The configuration is not simple, but it is open to all types of networks.
Load balance, scripts, automation, PoE, and many more.
I have installed it in a small hotel with 12 rooms and also in the store where I work. I have implemented QoS for fair queueing and to reduce bufferbloat. I am amazed at how effectively it can distribute a line that only reaches 15.5Mbps to so many users. Honestly, it never gets stuck, I never experience lag when loading pages or videos, and I didn't need to restart it once throughout the summer.
I think it performs much better than the equivalent Ubiquiti Edgerouter X.
The only drawback is that it doesn't have PoE, but there is another model with active PoE, which makes it ideal if you connect more than 1 access point.
Truly exceptional, but you need to have a good understanding of the subject
It is worth its money and more. It requires some technical knowledge and network knowledge, but in 2-3 hours I was able to replace the NetGear R6300 as an intermediate router with the provider's modem/router, enabling VPN and various other features, achieving a 10% improvement in ping times and speeds.
UPDATE: After 1 year, and having 2 of them in my possession, I could say that it is one of the most reliable, value for money purchases I have made. I have connected 2 networks together via GRE-TUNNEL, both with dynamic addresses, and IGMP Proxy/PMI between the networks, allowing me to access media servers/DLNA/receivers, etc. from one network to the other. Something I have not yet been able to accomplish is prioritizing bandwidth based on the type of package.
It requires some extra knowledge to set it up the way you want it... but then it works wonders.
Very fast, no lag even with all 4 ports occupied by AP UNIFI with multiple queues and captive portal.
IPsec Hardware encryption, fast CPU, and 256MB RAM were the reasons I chose this specific router. The speed with 2 IPsec channels, a few simple queues, and port mirroring is remarkable! It requires some familiarity for proper configuration, but it has nothing to envy from similar Cisco, fortigate, etc
μπορώ αυτή τη συσκευή να τη βάλω μετά το router της cosmote και σε αυτή να συνδέσω ενσύρματα 2 access point tp-link για να διαχειρίζεται καμία 30-40 συσκευές που συνδέονται σε αυτά, χωρίς να κρασαρει το router της cosmote, όπως επίσης να ρυθμίζει την ταχύτητα των συσκευών που συνδέονται στα access point;
Διάβασα για πρόβλημα με "port flapping" στο συγκεκριμένο μοντέλο. Για να βοηθήσω (επειδή κι εγώ δεν το γνώριζα):
"Port flapping, also known as link flapping, causes a switch port's state to fluctuate between up and down within concise periods of time. This instability caused by flapping ports affects network connectivity and degrades the end-user experience."
θέλω να το έχω για load balancing μεταξύ μας ας 50αρας και του δικτύου της οικοδομής (50-80mpbs)
επίσης το θέλω και για το QoS είμαι ανάμεσα σε αυτό και το edgerouter X δεν έχω τόση ειμπειρια
τα μόνα ρούτερ που ξέρω να δουλευω είναι αυτά της cosmote .
Από ότι έχω δει το router os είναι πολύ πιο δύσκολο στο config απο ότι του edge os το οποίο τρέχει πάνω σε Linux και σου δίνει την δυνατότητα να τρέξεις και άλλες εφαρμογές πχ openvpn
έχω ακούσει επίσης πως το edgerouter X έχει καλό QoS
θέλω συγκεκριμένα την 50αρα ως wan1 για κύριο δίκτυο και wan2 για δευτερεύων για extra ταχύτητα
μένω μόνος αλλά θα έχω πολλές Iot συσκευές και θέλω να τις έχω σε διαφορετικό vlan για ασφάλεια
τι θα μου ήταν καλύτερο το router os η edge os
έχω δει σε forums πως και τα δύο έχουν την ίδια σχεδόν ταχύτητα επίσης γνωρίζω πως το edgerouter X μπορεί να πάρει openwrt ddwrt και αλλα
