Mikro Tik Router BOARD hEX PoE lite

The MikroTik hEX PoE lite (RB750UPr2) is a feature-rich compact router designed for small offices, home networks, WISPs, and budget-conscious network deployments that need both routing power and passive PoE output in a single affordable device. Built around a Qualcomm QCA9531 650 MHz processor with 64 MB RAM and running MikroTik’s industry-leading RouterOS Level 4, it delivers a remarkably deep enterprise routing and security feature set in a form factor smaller than a paperback book.

Passive PoE Output — Power More, Cable Less

The standout feature of the hEX PoE lite is passive PoE output on all four LAN ports (Ether2–Ether5). Whatever voltage is supplied to the device via its DC jack or PoE-IN port (8–30V), the same voltage is passed through to connected PoE devices — eliminating the need for separate power injectors or adapters for MikroTik wireless APs, IP cameras, and other passive PoE-capable devices. Each port supports up to 1A with a combined 2A total output, and the built-in current, voltage, and PCB temperature monitors provide real-time visibility into power delivery and device health.

RouterOS Level 4 — Enterprise Features at SOHO Price

RouterOS is renowned in the networking industry for its depth and flexibility. Level 4 includes full firewall with NAT, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, RIPv1/v2), VPN (IPsec, L2TP, PPTP, OpenVPN), VLAN (802.1Q), QoS with queuing, bandwidth management, hotspot gateway, DHCP server/client/relay, DNS cache, IPv6 dual-stack, and Winbox/WebFig/SSH management — a feature set that rivals routers costing several times more.

Ultra-Low Power Consumption

With just 3W consumption when running without PoE loads, the hEX PoE lite is one of the most energy-efficient routers in its class. The fully fanless passive cooling design means silent operation in any environment — office, home, or equipment cabinet — while the extreme operating range of -40°C to 70°C makes it suitable for harsh or uncontrolled environments.

Simple and Flexible Management

Configure and manage the device through MikroTik’s Winbox GUI application, the WebFig browser interface, SSH CLI, or the MikroTik mobile app — giving users complete control whether they prefer graphical or command-line management. The USB port supports USB modems for WAN failover and USB storage for configuration backups and RouterOS upgrades.

Backed by MikroTik’s global reputation for reliable, high-value networking hardware, the hEX PoE lite delivers WISP-grade routing and PoE capability at an unbeatable price point.
