It takes a little work to configure but is totally worth it. I had never used a mikrotik product before and wanted to check it out. The only part i struggled with was that it does not handle internal DNS out of the box. I found a script in the forums to set a static DNS entry for each dhcp lease and was good to go. Review: Requires some custom configuration - Not a plug and play router. There are simple config walkthroughs for pretty good security, or you can use all your network admin knowledge to create a complex setup. Update: 12/25 Still running strong. Upgraded to 7.20.6 ## Features - Mikrotik Routerboard hEX RB960PGS 128MB Router Gigabit 5 Ports PoE in - hEX PoE is a five port gigabit ethernet router for locations where wireless connectivity is not required. - The device has a USB 2.0 port and a SFP port for adding optical fiber connectivity.

There's a bit of a learning curve, but they're very powerful. **Q: is dns supported?** A: you should research this router more thoroughly on youtube and on the manufacturer's website. DNS is supported, but the interface for configuring this device is far more complex than most consumer routers. you almost need a networking degree and certifications to understand all the options available to you. **Q: Can the poe output be disabled on a specific port? Or is always going to be on ports 2-5?** A: PoE is per port on 2-5 - it's all based on the power adapter connected (24v vs 48v), but it can be on for some and off for some. You can leave the port auto-sensing, set it to forced on, or set it to off. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice and stable router *by D***M on July 4, 2018* Very nice and stable router. It takes a little work to configure but is totally worth it. I had never used a mikrotik product before and wanted to check it out. The only part i struggled with was that it does not handle internal DNS out of the box. I found a script in the forums to set a static DNS entry for each dhcp lease and was good to go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Requires some custom configuration *by A***X on November 6, 2022* Not a plug and play router. There are simple config walkthroughs for pretty good security, or you can use all your network admin knowledge to create a complex setup. Update: 12/25 Still running strong. Upgraded to 7.20.6 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, like most MikroTik products. *by G***I on November 28, 2018* This is an awesome little router, and for the price, you can't beat the features (GigabitEthernet, PoE, RouterOS L4, etc). The power supply brick is bigger than the router, which makes the compact quality of the MikroTik RouterBoard devices moot. Can be powered by a wall wart with 1.5A output instead of the huge power brick if you aren't using all PoE interfaces. ## Frequently Bought Together - MikroTik Routerboard hEX PoE RB960PGS 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Router - MikroTik hEX S Gigabit Ethernet Router with SFP Port (RB760iGS) - TP-Link EAP610 Ultra-Slim Wireless Access Point for Business | Omada True Wi-Fi 6 AX1800 | DC Adapter Included | Mesh, Seamless Roaming, WPA3, MU-MIMO | Remote & App Control | PoE+ Powered --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/43369267-routerboard-hex-poe-rb960pgs-5-port-gigabit-ethernet-router](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/43369267-routerboard-hex-poe-rb960pgs-5-port-gigabit-ethernet-router) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
