Mikrotik Hex Rb750Gr3,5-Port Gigabit Router USB Micro Sd Poe in,Single_Band,470 mbps,White

Always wanted to have a proper router at home with periodic security patch updated. Picked this one during prime day sales. Coming to router it is a wild beast. There are tons of configuration options. Regarding RouterOS there is a bit of learning needed. To start with fire up "WinBox", use menu "Quick set" to enter your broadband USERID details. Mine was ACT so all i needed to enter was PPPOE, USERID, PASSWORD.At this stage your router is not hardened enough but then you could do that slowly as you explore more about RouterOS.By splitting router functionality my options are wide open for Wireless Access Points. This router supports load balancing, so you could combine 2 or 3 ISP connections.

I wanted to upgrade my home network to gigabit, and I already use a Netgear gigabit Wi-Fi router in access point mode, I wanted a non-Wi-Fi router to use as my main router, this looked perfect. Read lots of reviews & watched numerous videos and decided on getting this. It’s awesome and can be configured to do so many things. Hopefully if Mikrotik directly sells in India the prices will come down a bit to compete with other brands and we can se more adoption of these.

A versatile device if you have the patience and effort to setup. There is a simple wizard available to configure for a typical router usage and get connected to internet quickly. Documentation and get started setup instructions are available on the support site . Customisations possible are endless - segregation of different networks , load balancing , fail over, numerous possibilities of bandwidth management and prioritisation.

Router os is incredible , however I could not get poe working with this thing.

This is an amazing product. Have been using it for a few weeks now in our office of ~60 people and ~100 devices. Use it load balance across two ISPs. There is a steep learning curve with the configuration but lots of help and videos are available online. Will buy a few more for our smaller offices also. Haven't managed to make the layer 7 firewall work effectively; blocking youtube also blocks google sheets etc. Probably haven't googled enough. However I don't need that feature and this is still value for money.

Awesome product. Very configurable with many options. RouterOS has multiple control interface - web UI, telnet and SSH and supports scripting. Gbe ports is nice to have. Logging to microsd card. Very active user forum. Overall awesome product. Firmware updates are released regularly. Mikrotik brand is not popular in India yet I believe. So, not sure of the service support if required.

Works good for me , purposes my work

Excellent

I bought this because it was cheap among the many other options. I needed something that could do port forwarding better than the Virgin Media 'superhub' as the options on there are: Open to the world, or closed. I stumbled across Mikrotik in a YouTube comments section about a UniFi USG. I own two UniFi AP lites and it was the obvious choice. But I saw the price of this and did some reading about the functionality it gives for it and thought I'd give it a shot. Hardware wise, this has more to offer than the USG, so I took that as better value. Little did I know that this unassuming plastic box can do pretty much any kind of packet pass-through you can dream of, even if the configuration is totally wrong. This is networking without the stabilisers; consider it a challenge, and a very rewarding one at that. If you want something simple with a plain web UI and simple options, this is not the router for you. The kind of person who buys a Mikrotik product for the home is one who is sad enough to list networking as a hobby. I hope by now you've decided whether this sounds like the sort of thing you'd like to get into. My theory on Mikrotik after using it for a few months is: if you learn the Mikrotik way, everything in networking is easier after that point. It is recommended that you download the Winbox software and interact with the settings that way, it is quick to use and reliable. My first goal was to get this hooked up to my modem mode 'superhub' and get internet access. This can be done using the quick set options within the interface, and within 20 mins of unboxing it for the first time I at least had internet access. The default Firewall rules are sensible, but I looked online at various guides of how I can secure it down a bit, of which there are a few decent YouTube videos that actually describe why you are clicking certain check boxes and what the impact of it is - much of the RouterOS terminology is largely unique to Mikrotik and best practice networking manuals. Even in the age of the internet, there are few easy to follow guides that properly explain RouterOS, so having a strong networking background would be advantageous as you watch the odd how-to guide. I struggled a bit trying to set up a NAT port forward from a specific IP into my home, but after some research and creating an account on the Mikrotik forum I got the advice I needed and the rule is now working. Rather handily you also get a little indication how how much data tx/tx the rule has had going through it. So with the internet up and running everything was good. I had my access points hooked up to it, DNS/DHCP policies were configured and it all just worked. The Routerboard didn't cut out, LAN latency was minimal, and packet loss when playing games was gone! I've had this running for 4 months and not had a single problem with my home internet. If you want a cheap, reliable router for home or a small business packed full of enterprise grade features. This is the most cost effective choice... That is if you don't value the time you spend learning how to configure it! I'll be making a few more Mikrotik purchases soon I think.

muito bom o produto.

ottimo router per gestire un piccolo ufficio che necessita di segmentare la rete o applicare delle regole specifiche. Non è molto adatto per una persona inesperta, si deve essere un po' esperti nelle reti. Se si ha un po' di manualità si possono seguire le istruzioni online (ma si deve capire l'inglese).

Ich habe einige Jahre Erfahrungen im Netzwerkbereich, das hier bei Amazon gekaufte RouterBoard hEX war jedoch mein Erstkontakt mit MikroTik. Ich kannte die Firma und Produkte zwar schon vorher vom Hörensagen, hatte jedoch immer den Eindruck von "Spielzeug" oder "Bastelware", daher bisher niemals wirklich große Lust mir das näher anzusehen. Wie habe ich mich doch geirrt! Im Nachhinein, nach etwas Stunden Einarbeitungszeit: Die gebotene Leistung und die Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten sind für den Preis der helle Wahnsinn! Der hex ist bei einem Projekt im Einsatz bei dem es wirklich sehr sehr günstig sein musste, und ersetzt ein in die Jahre gekommenes ALIX-Board mit BSD als Firewall. Es braucht schon etwas länger Einarbeitungszeit. Auch mit einiger Erfahrung im Netzwerkbereich ist das Konzept von RouterOS anfangs gewöhnungsbedürftig, weil anders. Nicht schlecht - nur anders! Die Doku ist ausreichend, könnte aber besser strukturiert sein. Nach einigen Stunden: Die UI ist meiner Meinung nach einfach altbacken, die CLI dafür super. Wenn man länger mit MikroTik Produkten arbeitet ist das wohl alles absolut kein Problem mehr. Für mich war MikroTik/RouterOS jedoch komplett neu, und das einarbeiten dauerte im Vergleich zu anderen Herstellern/Produkten dann doch eben etwas länger. Ich habe aber schlussendlich immer alles gefunden was ich gebraucht habe. Die Einarbeitungszeit hat sich definitiv gelohnt, da die gebotenen Features auf der winzigen und günstigen Hardware schlicht phänomenal sind. Meine Meinung hat sich also geändert, und meine Erwartungen wurden weit übertroffen. Nach meinem Erstkontakt: Für wen eignen sich meiner Meinung nach solche Boards, oder etwas allgemeiner gehalten: Produkte von MikroTik? Nicht wirklich für den reinen Heimanwender, der quasi nur "Ersatz für Fritzbox" sucht. Dafür ist routerOS schlicht nicht einfach genug. Es eignet sich auch nicht wirklich gut für sehr große Unternehmen, da fehlt dann doch noch etwas power, support und compliance. Ich habe gelernt das MikroTik eine wirklich interessante und gute Alternative ist für alle Anwendungsfälle die zwischen diesen beiden Extremen liegen. Also angefangen beim ambitionierten Laien mit Bereitschaft zum (längeren) Einarbeiten in Netzwerktechnik, weiter sehr gut für alle Arten von Lehr- und Ausbildungszwecke, nahezu perfekt für kleine bis mittlere Projekte mit hohen Ambitionen aber sehr engem Budget, bis hin zum flächigen Einsatz in KMU oder auch bei kleineren ISP. Ich bin schon etwas beeindruckt.

Works perfect
