MikroTik hEX Lite RB750r2 5-Port 10/100 Router | RouterOS Level 4, Passive PoE, Compact Wired Router

MikroTik hEX Lite RB750r2 is a compact wired Ethernet router designed for basic home, SOHO, branch-office and network-management applications. It provides five 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports in a small desktop enclosure and runs MikroTik RouterOS with a Level 4 license.

Powered by a QCA9533 850MHz CPU with 64MB RAM and 16MB Flash storage, the hEX Lite provides the core routing, firewall, NAT, DHCP, VLAN and bandwidth-management functions available through RouterOS. It is a wired-only router and does not include built-in Wi-Fi.

Key Features of MikroTik hEX Lite RB750r2

• 5× 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports for wired network connectivity.
• QCA9533 850MHz CPU for routing and RouterOS functions.
• 64MB RAM and 16MB Flash storage.
• RouterOS Level 4 license.
• Passive PoE-In support on Ether1.
• 24V DC power input through the DC jack.
• Compact and fanless design for desktop installations.
• Designed for routing, firewall, NAT, DHCP, VLAN and bandwidth management.
• No built-in Wi-Fi, making it suitable for dedicated wired routing applications.

5-Port Fast Ethernet Router

The MikroTik hEX Lite provides five 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. The ports can be configured through RouterOS for WAN, LAN and other network functions.

Because all Ethernet interfaces are Fast Ethernet, the RB750r2 is intended for networks where 100Mbps Ethernet connectivity is sufficient. It should not be confused with the newer MikroTik hEX models that provide Gigabit Ethernet.

RouterOS for Advanced Network Management

Despite its compact size, the hEX Lite runs MikroTik RouterOS, providing substantially more configuration flexibility than a basic unmanaged router.

Depending on the network design, RouterOS can be used for:

• Internet gateway routing
• NAT and firewall configuration
• DHCP server and client
• Static routing
• VLAN configuration
• Bandwidth management
• Traffic filtering
• VPN configuration
• Network monitoring
• IP address management

Passive PoE-In

The Ether1 port supports passive PoE-In, allowing the hEX Lite to receive power through an Ethernet cable when used with a compatible passive PoE power source.

The device also supports a DC power input. Passive PoE should not be confused with active IEEE 802.3af/at PoE; the power source and voltage must be compatible with the router’s requirements.

Compact Fanless Design

The RB750r2 is designed as a small, low-power wired router. Its compact enclosure and passive cooling make it suitable for desktop installations, network cabinets, small offices and locations where a fanless router is preferred.

The simple design also makes the hEX Lite useful for dedicated routing applications where integrated wireless connectivity is not required.

850MHz CPU and 64MB RAM

The hEX Lite uses a QCA9533 processor clocked at 850MHz, together with 64MB RAM and 16MB Flash storage. This hardware platform is designed to handle the routing and network-management functions of RouterOS in small wired networks.

Wired Router Without Wi-Fi

The MikroTik hEX Lite RB750r2 does not have a built-in wireless radio. This makes it useful when wireless access points are deployed separately or when the router’s primary role is to provide wired routing and firewall services.

A separate MikroTik or third-party access point can be connected to one of the Ethernet ports when wireless coverage is required.
