CRS326-24G-2S+RM 24 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 2 SFP+ Ports, Dual Boot RouterOS/SwOS, Managed, Metal Case, Compatible with Desktop/Laptop/Printer

Works flawlessly in switch mode. In router mode, it requires some skill to configure. Everything you'd expect on more up-range routers is available here but the interface does nothing to protect you from it or from yourself. If you're a capable network tech this can be a workhorse. That said, some rules/settings do require enough processing to cause some noticeable slowdowns - as soon as you create a rule or config that requires advanced processing, the unit does lose some throughput for that traffic. That said, it's amazing router for the price. I have no complaints for these as my requirements are quite simple, so I use the RouterOS but only ask of it a little more than a managed switch might do. I'll buy more.

Bought this product to replace a Virtual PFsense and a 16 port web managed tp-link switch. Wanted a 1U solution with a lower total power usage and to consolidate my equipment sprawl that is happening on the shelving above my washer and dryer. This thing is not a Ferrari. It is not an American muscle car. It is a pimped out mini-van with a towing package. It has every feature you could ask for, gets good gas mileage, and is well priced. The interior is not that great, but I guarantee it will run forever and get your family where it needs to go while your kids eat Cheerios in the back seat and watch movies on the DVD player attached to the ceiling (assuming the kids know how to program the DVD player from scratch). As mentioned in other reviews, this thing is like visiting an alien planet if you come from iOS. The firewall rules are extremely clunky compared to the PFsense, but may suitably meet my needs. Though I must say the firewalling rules don't seem to be much more advanced than basic IP tables. That being said I have yet to determine if I will leave this as an edge security device or just use it as a L2 switch. Definitely staying in RouterOS mode, though I did test run SWOS.

This is a really decent product, especially for the money. It is a great switch with a confusing interface. It’s probably more logical than Cisco, et al, but everyone knows how to Cisco. Routing functions slow down the throughput, but most common switching and vlan tasks are handled by the high-speed switch cpu.

Tengo varios de estos en mi empresa. solidos utilizando SWOS. Me encantan

Excelente equipo, a un buen costo. No es un equipo para todos los públicos, se requiere saber un poco del modo de configuración de los equipos Mikrotik. Como recomendación es ideal subirlo a la versión 7 del sistema operativo Router os; ahora bien, si no deseas investigar mucho de como configurar en Router os, puedes habilitar que arranque como solo swicth, con la opción de Switch OS. En mi caso, me sorprendió que podía sustituir mí router un RB 760Gsi actual e integrar su configuración de router y seguir utilizando el resto de los puertos como un Switch de capa 3 (L3). Con un poco de afinamiento da unas prestaciones muy altas. Altamente recomendado si buscas un SW, con capacidades de ruteo y buenas prestaciones. Pero su configuración no es para todos los públicos. PD. Sus interfaces de SFP+ de 10 GB, las utilizare a futuro para expandir el rendimiento de mi red.

Great as a more powerful router with more gigabit ports (and no drops / hangs due to high CPU utilization) vs their older RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN. Fantastic router/firewall/VPN/etc. RouterOS is quite amazing. 10GB SFP+ is a bonus for those that want to have development/UAT environments that connect over the Internet using 10gb NICs.

This is now may core switch in my home network. The unit replaced my CRS226 switch. The larger CPU and better switch hardware has made a huge difference. You can reliably implement LACP, perform some inter-vlan routing (heavy stuff sent to mikrotik router) in hardware where the CRS226 was always out of breath. Old news: this switch isn't for non-network people. I have a good understanding of networks, write software for a living, and I still had to go through trial and error to get things working that are easy with Cisco IOS - great example is taking advantage of the new v6.41 bridge for VLANs (close but no cigar yet).

Amazon sent a returned item but charged the same price as new. I had to reset the switch to its factory settings before initial use. Otherwise it’s a switch with the number of ports I needed. Typical Mikrotik configuration that runs through my network, so no issues.

Working as mentioned in description, found better as compared to other brands, but need in-depth knowledge of networking to setup and utilize extensive features.

This router is very functional however, it is very difficult to set up if you don't have deep networking knowledge. That said, it is very flexible if you know what you are doing. Unfortunately, this unit failed at 16 months. The unit was working fine and completely dead one day with no configuration adjustments. The vendor, Electropedia LLC, does not honour the 2-year warranty. Buyer beware.

Mikrotik est une marque fiable et souvent bien moins onéreuse que la concurrence pour des performances identiques.

Tut was er soll; für vergleichsweise wenig Geld.

Come tutti i dispositivi Mikrotik anche questo switch si contraddistinge per l'ottimo rapporto qualià/prezzo e grazie alla possibilità di fare il boot sia con swOS che con RouterOS la flessibilità è garantita. Noi lo abbiamo usato con RouterOS e con esso è possibile configurare liberamente ognuna delle 26 porte (24 ethernet + 2 SFP), definire regole di firewall, limitare la banda, fare NAT, routing, fare DNS caching e tanto, tanto altro... Un solo appunto: come tutti gli apparati Mikrotik lo consigliamo solamente a chi ha la necessaria dimestichezza con le configurazioni, altrimenti è meglio orientarsi verso altri tipo di apparati.
