Router MikroTik 10/100/1000Mbit, PoE, RAM - 512 MB, USB - A, RouterOS v7, License level 4

This router from MikroTik is a stable solution for a small office, home network, or a more serious home lab where you need gigabit connectivity and PoE in one unit. You get 5 x 10/100/1000 LAN ports, which is more than enough for several desktop machines, NAS, IP cameras, or additional access points. The built-in support for PoE saves you separate adapters and power supplies for some devices. The device runs on RouterOS v7 and License level 4, which opens access to much more serious configuration options than typical “home” routers.

What you get is a router with full gigabit support on all its LAN ports, so your internal network won't be a bottleneck if you already have fast internet or are transferring large files locally. PoE allows you to power compatible devices through the same Ethernet cable, which is very convenient when mounting ceiling access points or IP cameras. The USB port adds flexibility – you can use it for storage, logs, or other specific scenarios depending on the capabilities of RouterOS v7. License level 4 means you are not limited to the most basic functions and can set up finer routing, VLANs, and other more complex topologies if needed.

• Manufacturer: MikroTik – an established platform for more advanced network configurations and long-term 24/7 operation.
• Product type: Router – the central element for building and managing your wired and wireless (via a separate AP) network.
• LAN ports: 5 x 10/100/1000 – enough gigabit ports for several PCs, NAS, IP cameras, and other LAN devices without needing a separate switch in small installations.
• WAN ports: RJ-45 – standard Ethernet input for connecting to your ISP's optical or cable modem.
• PoE: Yes – the ability to supply power over the network cable to compatible devices, reducing the number of adapters and cabling.
• USB port: Yes – USB expandability for storage and other specific functions depending on the configuration in RouterOS.
• RouterOS v7, License level 4 – modern firmware with access to more advanced network settings, suitable for users who want control and flexibility.
• Warranty: 12 months – one year coverage for hardware defects for peace of mind.

It is suitable for home users and small offices who want more serious control over their network without venturing into expensive enterprise solutions. It is particularly sensible if you plan to connect several PoE devices or need a stable gigabit backend for NAS, cameras, and workstations. If you are looking for something ultra-simple “plug and play” without any tinkering with settings, it may come off as a bit more technical.

The combination of gigabit ports, PoE, and RouterOS v7 with License level 4 makes this MikroTik router a very good balance between functionality and a compact solution for a serious home or small office network.
