MikroTik CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM
The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM combines 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports (eight of them with PoE-out), two 10G SFP+ cages, USB 3.0 connectivity, and a powerful quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU in a clean, durable rackmount enclosure. There’s also a Gigabit management port with a direct CPU connection.
This device is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to replace a jungle of equipment with one smart multitasker — built for real routing workloads, high-bandwidth uplinks, and organized cable management. Whether you’re powering up access points and CCTV cameras, running a fast NAS with modern workstations, or handling routing in a medium-sized office, CRS418 does it all — efficiently and affordably.
Wi-Fi where it matters
The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM is an all-in-one switch and routing solution that also provides 4×4 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi 6, offering fast and reliable connectivity wherever it’s needed. It’s the perfect solution for simplifying basement server rooms or medium offices on a budget — no need for a separate access point.
Rackmounts aren’t known for great wireless coverage, so MikroTik included dedicated holes in the back for antenna pigtails — allowing you to place antennas externally for optimal performance.
