Mikrotik L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN router

Key Features and Advanced Functions

The L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN shares the core strengths of the L009 series but adds significant wireless capability .

· High-Performance Wired Networking: It features a modern dual-core 800 MHz ARM CPU and a Marvell Peridot switch chip. This architecture provides a 2.5 Gigabit full-duplex connection to the CPU for ports Ether2 through Ether8, while Ether1 has its own dedicated Gigabit link. This design prevents bottlenecks and allows for complex, high-throughput configurations .
· Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity: This model distinguishes itself with integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). It offers up to 90% higher speed, greater stability, and better responsiveness in the 2.4 GHz spectrum compared to previous standards, making it ideal for IoT devices and environments where 2.4 GHz range is critical .
· Container Support: The modern ARM architecture and USB 3.0 port enable container projects. You can run lightweight services directly on the router, such as a Pi-hole ad-blocker, a Home Automation controller, or other custom applications .
· 2.5G SFP Uplink: The SFP cage supports not only standard 1G but also 2.5G connectivity, offering a flexible and faster uplink option for fiber or direct attach cables, which is a significant upgrade from standard Gigabit SFP .
· Comprehensive PoE Handling: It provides flexibility for installation with 802.3af/at PoE-in on the first port, allowing the router itself to be powered over Ethernet. The last port (Ether8) features Passive PoE-out, enabling you to power an external device like an IP camera or a secondary access point directly from the router .
· Durable and Space-Saving Design: Housed in a finned aluminum case that acts as a passive heatsink, it's rated for extreme temperatures from -40°C to 70°C . The "IN" form-factor allows for innovative mounting, including the ability to fit up to four L009 devices in a single 1U rack space using the included K-79 rackmount kit .
