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 environments where higher-speed fibre connectivity is required without moving to larger or more complex routing platforms. Its small footprint and wall-mountable design allow it to be deployed discreetly in a wide range of locations.

Powered by a fast dual-core ARM processor and 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 demand strong performance on a controlled budget. It delivers a balance of speed, flexibility, and advanced features in a compact MikroTik platform.
