Hardware Introduction
This category covers detailed introductions to MikroTik routers, switches, and wireless products.
Each article breaks down the official specs, block diagrams, performance tests, and real-world limitations so you know exactly what the hardware can and cannot do before deploying it.
The MikroTik CCR2004 series is powerful, affordable, and widely misunderstood.
In this breakdown, we explain the real architecture, performance limits, and correct use cases for every CCR2004 model — including the PCIe version and passive-cooled variants — so you can choose the right router without guesswork.
The MikroTik RB5009 series is a compact, fanless routing platform designed for high-performance networks.
With 10G, 2.5G, PoE options, and indoor or outdoor models, it fits studios, offices, ISPs, and field deployments.
MikroTik refreshed its most popular wired router without changing the price. This post compares the classic hEX (RB750Gr3) with the new hEX Refresh (E50UG), focusing on hardware changes, real performance gains, and which one actually makes sense to deploy today.
