Need a wired router that won’t slow you down or drain your budget? The new hEX S is a compact, truly budget-friendly device that does a little bit of everything — and does it fast. Whether you’re building a smart home, running a local lab, or just want a clean, powerful wired setup, this is your new Ethernet essential.

With 5× Gigabit Ethernet ports (including PoE-in on port #1 and PoE-out on port #5), plus a 2.5 Gigabit SFP cage, this compact router can adapt to many roles. And unlike most ISP boxes, you can assign any port as WAN, LAN, or bridge — full flexibility right out of the box. That’s just the beginning. RouterOS v7 gives you advanced routing, VLANs, bonding, traffic shaping, and more — so you can build the wired network you’ve always wanted.
