There are 14 main configuration options along the left side of the hEX GUI titled Interfaces, Bridge, Switch, PPP, Mesh, IP, MPLS, Routing, System, Queues, Files, Log, Radius, and Tools. The list of configuration options presented when connecting to the hEX GUI for the first time illustrates the wide array of capabilities of RouterOS based routers. RouterOS supports Graphical User Interface (GUI), Console, and Command Line Interface (CLI) options for applying configurations, as well as a utility called Winbox that I’ll cover next. My hEX came with firmware v6.39.2 which was easily updated to v6.40.3 by simply using the “Auto Upgrade” option in the GUI. RouterOS is the operating system for MikroTik routers, based on the Linux v3.3.5 kernel. In this review, I’m going to explore the MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX router. MicroTik products include routers, switches, and wireless devices. The RouterBOARD product line includes an extensive list of network products as listed in their 73 page product manual and on their product page. In 2002, MikroTik decided to make their own hardware, creating the RouterBOARD brand. You can try RouterOS today and turn a PC into a router, if desired. In 1997, MikroTik created RouterOS, the software that runs their routers today. MikroTik was founded in 1996 and is located in Riga, Latvia. Why Choose Mikrotik Hex S Gigabit Ethernet Router? IPsec hardware encryption (~470 Mbps) and The Dude server package is supported, a microSD slot on it provides improved r/w speed for file storage and Dude. The device has a USB 2.0, PoE output for Ethernet port #5 and a 1.25Gbit/s SFP cage. It is affordable, small, and easy to use, but at the same time comes with a very powerful dual core 880 MHz CPU and 256 MB RAM, capable of the advanced configurations that RouterOS supports. Compared to the hEX, the hEX S also features an SFP port and PoE output on the last port. Mikrotik Hex S is a five port Gigabit Ethernet router for locations where wireless connectivity is not required.
