Overview

What it is and who it is for

The MikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM-US is a Wi-Fi version of the CRS418 rackmount Cloud Router Switch. In one 1U unit it combines sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight of them with PoE out, two 10G SFP+ ports, a quad core 2.2 GHz ARM CPU running RouterOS v7, and dual band 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radios.

The 2.4 GHz radio (802.11b/g/n/ax) reaches up to 1148 Mbps and the 5 GHz radio (802.11a/n/ac/ax) up to 2400 Mbps, per MikroTik. PoE out on ports 9 to 16 follows 802.3af/at with a 150 W total budget. The IPQ-8072A CPU with 1 GB of RAM routes at about 4.9 Gbps fast path at 1518-byte packets, and the 98DX226S switch chip reaches 74 Gbps Layer 1 switching capacity in RFC 2544 tests.

Two AC power supplies at 100 to 240 V provide redundancy, maximum consumption is 227 W with attachments, four fans cool the unit and it is tested for -20 to 70 °C ambient. A USB 3.0 port, RJ45 serial console and mode button are included in the hardware.

  • Best for: small and medium offices that want routing, PoE switching and Wi-Fi 6 in one rack unit.
  • System fit: MikroTik RouterOS v7 (license level 5); can act as a CAPsMAN wireless controller for MikroTik access points.
  • Important to know: Only 8 of the 16 Gigabit ports supply PoE, with a 150 W total budget.
