The MikroTik RB760iGS hEX S is a compact, fanless Gigabit Ethernet router engineered for wired network deployments where serious routing performance and flexibility are required without a wireless radio. Anchored by a dual-core 880 MHz MT7621A processor, 256 MB RAM, and MikroTik RouterOS Level 4, the hEX S handles advanced firewall filtering, VLAN segmentation, dynamic routing, QoS, load balancing, and IPsec-accelerated VPN tunnels in a desktop enclosure small enough for a shelf, cabinet, or remote-site equipment rack. Five Gigabit RJ45 ports cover LAN and WAN connectivity, a dedicated 1.25G SFP cage provides direct fiber uplink capability for FTTH or ISP handoff scenarios, and passive PoE output on Ether5 lets the router power a downstream access point or IP camera without a separate injector. A USB 2.0 Type-A port and microSD slot extend the platform to support additional storage, logging, and MikroTik's The Dude network monitoring application, making the RB760iGS a capable and cost-effective edge routing solution for small businesses, WISPs, remote offices, and advanced homelabs.
Key features & benefits
- Dual-Core MT7621A Processor — The 880 MHz dual-core MT7621A CPU with four threads delivers the processing headroom needed for concurrent firewall rule evaluation, routing table lookups, and IPsec encryption without saturating the platform under mixed traffic loads.
- IPsec Hardware Encryption Acceleration — Dedicated hardware acceleration for IPsec offloads cryptographic operations from the main CPU cores, enabling meaningfully higher encrypted VPN throughput compared to purely software-based routing platforms of similar size and cost.
- Five Gigabit Ethernet Ports — Five 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports provide flexible LAN and WAN assignment, supporting VLAN trunking, bonding, or multi-WAN failover and load-balancing configurations through RouterOS.
- 1.25G SFP Fiber Uplink Port — An integrated SFP cage accepts standard 1.25G SFP modules, enabling direct fiber uplink connectivity for FTTH, ISP handoff, or aggregation deployments where copper is not practical or available.
- Passive PoE Output on Ether5 — Ether5 delivers passive PoE output at up to 57V, allowing the router to power a compatible downstream device such as an access point or IP camera directly, eliminating the need for an additional power injector at the edge.
- Passive and 802.3af/at PoE Input — The router accepts both passive PoE and 802.3af/at standard PoE as power input, providing installation flexibility in environments where only a PoE switch port is available as a power source.
- RouterOS Level 4 License — The included RouterOS Level 4 license unlocks enterprise-grade networking capabilities including advanced firewall filtering, dynamic routing protocols, VLAN segmentation, QoS, hotspot gateway, site-to-site and remote-access VPNs, and traffic monitoring.
- USB 2.0 and microSD Expansion — A USB 2.0 Type-A port and a dedicated microSD slot extend on-board storage for logging, configuration backups, and running MikroTik's The Dude network monitoring platform directly on the device.
- Compact Fanless Enclosure — The 113 x 89 x 28 mm fanless chassis operates silently across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, making it well-suited for quiet office environments, wall-mount cabinets, and remote-site installations with limited climate control.
