MikroTik hEX RB750Gr3 – Gigabit Ethernet Router for SOHO / SMB Networks

The MikroTik hEX is a five-port Gigabit Ethernet router with a dual-core 880 MHz processor, built for office and SOHO networks where routing performance, IPsec hardware encryption, and advanced RouterOS capabilities are required without wireless connectivity. With 256 MB RAM and hardware IPsec acceleration, the hEX handles complex routing and VPN scenarios that exceed the capabilities of entry-level routers while maintaining the compact form factor and accessible pricing of the hEX family.

The dual-core MT7621A processor at 880 MHz with four threads and 256 MB RAM — four times the memory of the hEX lite — support advanced RouterOS Level 4 configurations: BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VPN with IPsec hardware acceleration, and the Dude server package for network monitoring. The microSD slot adds expanded storage for the Dude database or system files with improved read/write speeds compared to internal FLASH memory. The USB type A port with power reset supports connecting a 3G/4G modem or external storage.

Five Gigabit Ethernet ports cover typical SOHO and SMB topologies — WAN plus segmented LAN, inter-VLAN routing, or bridge — with an integrated switch chip for efficient local forwarding. Dual power input via DC jack at 8-30V or passive PoE and idle power consumption of 5W without attached devices maintain the energy efficiency characteristic of the hEX family. The tested operating range of -40°C to +60°C confirms stable performance in varied technical environments.

It is the right fit for small and medium offices needing a Gigabit router with IPsec hardware acceleration for high-performance VPN without throughput degradation, for administrators running Dude as a network monitoring platform who need local storage via microSD, for networks with dynamic BGP or OSPF routing where 256 MB RAM makes a measurable difference over 64 MB models, and for users seeking the highest-performing router in the compact hEX family without paying for unused wireless connectivity.
