Review: Great upgrade from older Microtik products - I've been using an RB2011 for around 10 years now. It's stayed relevant through firmware updates, and is still supported, demonstrating a great value on this alone, as most routers are not supported with security updates for more than a few years. The only real issue I had with the RB2011 is that its older MIPS processor couldn't keep up with increasing internet speeds, capping out at ~300Mbps NAT (in the home it worked at line speed easily). So, the RB5009 brings in a more modern ARM CPU with more memory and updated switching, and the familiar (to me) interface. I can hit nearly the full 1Gbps that FIOS claims, so this is a big improvement. These have MANY features, and it is easy to configure it to be quite insecure, but it does have a default baseline that is pretty decent. Really the only thing a home user would want to change is IP>Services and enable only winbox and HTTP from 192.168.88.0/24 (default subnet, inside your home) and disable the others. That and change the password, which the default is no longer blank but on a sticker that comes with the router. The RB5009 also adds a 10Gbps SFP+ and a 2.5Gbps port (ether1). This will allow for the expansion of a 2.5/5/10 Gbps network in your home AND support higher ISP speeds when those improve, too (which is a limitation on the RB4011). This model doesn't have POE, but there is a version that does. I just use separate switches for this, for more flexibility. Overall, I'm happy with the performance and the ability to configure it to my needs. This is not a novice device at all, but it's not as hard as people make it to be if you stick with the default configuration. There are certainly worse devices that cost a lot more.
Review: Solid Linux router with good command line and graphical configuration for the myriad of options - This router is a really well designed piece of hardware. It supports VLANs, hardware acceleration for routing and switching between VLANs, a ton of Linux features, open source software like Wireguard, OpenVPN, etc. It does all of this really well with few exceptions. I've got this setup with VLANs, multiple link bonds, routing, switching, even IPv6. The chip it uses for moving packets in hardware, 88E6393X, is pretty versatile, though this is where weak points emerge. It's clear some features just weren't part of its design. Multicast IGMP snooping will break hardware routing in weird ways, and some features just don't work together. Check the Router board switch chip features page on Mikrotik's website before you buy this expecting it do certain things. I've got RouterOS working now with accelerated NAT, accelerated switching between VLANs, and multicast is acceptable, but it's been a journey, and it's buggy. Why does multicast matter? IPv6. It doesn't work, at all, without this working. I have hosts that lose their temporary IPv6 addresses randomly, can't communicate with IPv6 randomly, and weird affects with DLNA and other UPnP use cases across even the same VLAN but forwarded across the switch ports, let alone intravlan. All in all, it's really good, but there are limitations. For the price, you can't really beat this for features.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 10Gb full duplex- does this imply you cannot have all ports saturated at once with the current port layout?**
A: check out mt.lv

**Q: Does it support VPN?**
A: In general yes. L2TP and IPSec tunnels id what we use mostly. We bought this ARM based unit to test the ZeroTier functionality.

**Q: How does the firewall affects the performance of that router?**
A: I don't have a direct answer, but I have no problem with Gigabit speeds through the firewall. Very pleased with mine.

**Q: Does it support ddns?**
A: Via scripting you can choose a DNS service. There is the also built-in IP Cloud based on the serial number.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very reliable, it's MikroTik.
*by A***N on July 16, 2025*

Very robust router for home and small/medium offices. I’ve been using MikroTik routers for 15 years and have never experienced a hardware issue. Setup isn’t easy—if you want easy, just don’t use routers and stick to Ubiquiti. This one can be PoE powered (port 1) and can run small Docker containers, perfect for Pi-hole. It has tons of features, but the ones I love are: 1. You decide if a port is WAN or LAN—you can have as many WANs as you want. 2. VLAN support to isolate devices (you’ll need to configure this on any chained switches and Wi-Fi APs too). 3. Route selection based on origin or destination. Which is very useful for sending traffic through a VPN. 4. Multiple ISPs with failover. 5. Traffic analysis. 6. Graphing. 7. Parental controls. The only thing I dislike is the scripting—man, scripting in MikroTik is hard, even for AI.
