MikroTik RouterBOARD Price & Availability in Lebanon
MikroTik RouterBOARD: The Full Lineup Available in Lebanon
MikroTik RouterBOARD (RB) is the hardware platform that powers everything from home routers to ISP core infrastructure. The name "RouterBOARD" refers to MikroTik's line of dedicated routing hardware running RouterOS — and Lebanese technicians search for "RouterBOARD" just as often as "MikroTik" when sourcing equipment. HI-GAIN stocks the complete RouterBOARD range at our warehouse in Dora, Beirut.
Whether you need a budget hEX for a small office, an RB5009 for a growing network, or an RB4011 for a branch office, this guide covers every RouterBOARD series available in Lebanon and helps you pick the right model.
RouterBOARD Series Overview
MikroTik organizes its RouterBOARD products into distinct series, each targeting a specific market segment:
| Series | Target Market | Key Models at HI-GAIN | Price Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| hEX Series | Home / Small Office | hEX, hEX S, hEX PoE | Budget |
| hAP Series | Home / SOHO with WiFi | hAP AX3, hAP AX Lite, hAP AC2 | Budget to Mid |
| RB4011 | Office / Branch | RB4011iGS+RM, RB4011 WiFi | Mid-Range |
| RB5009 | Prosumer / WISP Edge | RB5009UG+S+IN, RB5009UPr+S+IN | Mid to High |
| RB1100 | ISP / Enterprise Core | RB1100AHx4 | High |
| CCR Series | ISP Core / Datacenter | CCR2004, CCR2116 | Premium |
Budget RouterBOARDs: The hEX Series
The MikroTik hEX (RB750Gr3) is one of the most-sold routers in Lebanon. Five Gigabit ports, a dual-core 880 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, and full RouterOS v7 support — all for less than the price of a consumer WiFi router. It runs firewall rules, VPN tunnels, and basic QoS without issues.
The hEX S adds an SFP port and USB, while the hEX PoE provides PoE output on four ports — handy for powering access points or IP cameras without a separate PoE switch. For the absolute minimum budget, the hEX Lite offers five Fast Ethernet ports at a rock-bottom price.
Mid-Range: RB4011 for Offices and Branches
The RB4011iGS+RM packs a quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM CPU, 1 GB RAM, ten Gigabit Ethernet ports, and one SFP+ 10G port into a rackmount enclosure. Lebanese businesses use it as the primary router for offices with 50–100 users, handling inter-VLAN routing, VPN concentrator duties, and bandwidth management.
The RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN variant adds dual-band WiFi (AC) and an indoor desktop enclosure — ideal for branch offices that need routing and wireless in a single box.
Prosumer Powerhouse: RB5009
The RB5009UG+S+IN bridges the gap between home routers and enterprise CCR devices. Its quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM CPU, 1 GB RAM, 1 GB NAND, seven Gigabit ports, one 2.5G port, and one 10G SFP+ cage make it the go-to choice for power users and small WISPs across Lebanon.
The RB5009UPr+S+IN variant adds PoE output on all eight Ethernet ports (up to 130W total), turning it into a compact router-plus-PoE-switch for tower site deployments. Read more in our dedicated RB5009 guide.
Enterprise and ISP: RB1100 and CCR Series
The RB1100AHx4 uses a quad-core Cortex-A15 CPU at 1.4 GHz with 1 GB RAM and 13 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Its hardware IPsec encryption engine handles VPN tunnels at wire speed — a feature ISPs and enterprises in Lebanon use for secure site-to-site links between offices across the country.
For ISPs needing more throughput, 10G connectivity, and larger RAM, the Cloud Core Router series starts with the CCR2004-16G-2S+. See our CCR2004 buyer's guide for a detailed comparison of the two CCR2004 models.
How to Choose the Right RouterBOARD for Lebanon
Match your RouterBOARD to your deployment size and requirements:
- 1–10 users, basic internet sharing: hEX or hEX S — lowest cost, full RouterOS features
- 10–30 users, WiFi needed: hAP AX3 or hAP AX Lite — WiFi 6 with advanced routing
- 30–100 users, office VLANs: RB4011iGS+RM — 10 Gigabit ports and SFP+ uplink
- WISP tower site with PoE devices: RB5009UPr+S+IN — routing plus 130W PoE output
- ISP edge, 100–500 subscribers: RB5009UG+S+IN or RB1100AHx4
- ISP core, 500+ subscribers: CCR2004 or CCR2116
All models run RouterOS v7, share the same configuration syntax, and are managed via Winbox or WebFig. Upgrading from one RouterBOARD to another is straightforward — export your config and import it on the new device.
Why Lebanese Technicians Prefer RouterBOARD
MikroTik RouterBOARD dominates the Lebanese networking market for specific reasons tied to local conditions:
- Power efficiency: Most RouterBOARDs draw 5–30W, surviving on small UPS batteries during Lebanon's extended power outages. Enterprise alternatives from Cisco or Juniper draw 5–10x more.
- Price-to-feature ratio: A $50 hEX runs the same RouterOS as a $500 CCR2004 — same firewall, VPN, and QoS features. The license tier limits some advanced functions, but core routing is identical.
- Local expertise: Lebanon has one of the deepest MikroTik talent pools in the Middle East. Finding a technician who can configure RouterOS is straightforward in Beirut, Tripoli, or Sidon.
- Compact form factors: Space-constrained Lebanese server rooms and tower cabinets benefit from MikroTik's compact designs. Four RB5009 units in 1U of rack space is unmatched.
