MikroTik hEX S (2025) – Compact Wired Router with 2.5G SFP Uplink
The MikroTik hEX S (2025) is a compact and cost-effective wired router designed to deliver reliable performance for small networks that require flexibility and speed. It combines five Gigabit Ethernet ports with a 2.5G SFP uplink, making it suitable for deployments that need higher-speed fibre connectivity without moving to larger routing platforms. Its small, wall-mountable form factor allows discreet installation in a wide range of environments.
Powered by a fast dual-core ARM processor with 512 MB of RAM, the hEX S (2025) runs RouterOS v7, providing access to advanced routing features such as VLANs, bonding, traffic shaping, and flexible port assignment. Any Ethernet port can be configured as WAN, LAN, or bridge, offering full control over network design. Support for PoE input and PoE output adds deployment flexibility, while the USB 3 port enables local storage connectivity for file sharing or logging tasks.
With support for a wide input voltage range and a 2.5G SFP interface for higher-speed uplinks, the hEX S (2025) is well suited to homes, small offices, labs, and other wired-focused deployments that require strong performance on a controlled budget. It delivers a balanced combination of speed, flexibility, and advanced features in a compact MikroTik platform.
