The MikroTik hEX S (Model: RB760iGS) is an advanced, ultra-compact desktop router designed for small office, home office (SOHO), and managed wired network setups that require fiber connectivity and PoE passthrough flexibility. Driven by a dual-core MediaTek MT7621A processor running at 880 MHz with 4 CPU threads and 256 MB RAM, this router easily manages multi-WAN routing, dynamic firewall rules, user access control, and bandwidth shaping queues.
Equipped with 5x Gigabit Ethernet ports and 1x 1.25G SFP cage, the hEX S enables direct fiber backhaul integration alongside copper connections. It includes dedicated IPsec hardware acceleration capable of reaching hardware-encrypted throughputs of up to ~470 Mbps. Functional features include Passive PoE input on Port 1, Passive PoE output on Port 5 (capable of powering secondary PoE devices up to 500 mA), an onboard microSD card slot for enhanced database storage or utility packages like The Dude server, and a full-size USB 2.0 port for cellular modem attachments. Housed in a durable white plastic desktop enclosure, it operates on MikroTik RouterOS Level 4.
