About the MikroTik RB960PGS HEX PoE 5 Port Router 5x 1000Mbps
MikroTik RB960PGS hEX PoE does not support active-passive or active-active failover modes natively; however, it delivers enterprise-grade routing resilience through VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) with sub-second convergence, enabling redundant deployments where network engineers can architect high-availability topologies across multiple units. The RB960PGS combines five Gigabit Ethernet ports with integrated Power over Ethernet output on four ports (802.3af/at auto-sensing), making it ideal for distributed edge deployments where PoE-powered access points, cameras, and remote devices eliminate separate power infrastructure.
Powered by an 800 MHz dual-core MIPS processor and RouterOS Level 4, this MikroTik platform supports advanced routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, RIP, MPLS), comprehensive security (firewall, IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP, SSTP), and traffic management (QoS, hotspot authentication, SNMP monitoring). The fanless metal enclosure, flexible power input (passive 24V PoE via ether1 or 8–30V DC jack), and compact 113 × 89 × 28 mm form factor suit wall-mounted or desktop installation across office networks, retail branches, industrial sites, and remote campuses. Network engineers and IT procurement teams commonly select the RB960PGS for branch-office consolidation, where unified routing and PoE delivery reduce operational complexity and total cost of ownership.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
- Branch office gateway with integrated PoE power for wireless APs and IP phones
- Edge router for MPLS-based SD-WAN and multi-site connectivity
- Remote site aggregation with BGP routing and redundant WAN links via VRRP failover
- Industrial network edge node supporting firewall rules, NAT, and IPsec VPN tunnels
- Retail point-of-sale network backbone combining routing, PoE delivery, and hotspot authentication
