hEX S (2025)

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, with 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.
