Cloud Router Switch 418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM
The CRS418-8P-8G-2S+RM combines 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports (eight of them with PoE-out!), two 10G SFP+ cages, USB 3 connectivity, and a powerful quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU in a clean, durable rackmount enclosure. Also, there’s a Gigabit management port with a direct CPU line.
Why settle for just a simple switch when you can have PoE-out, high-speed fiber uplinks, USB storage compatibility, advanced network control/monitoring, and enough processing power even for some routing or L3 HW offloading… in a single 1U device and for the best price on the market?

This is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to replace a jungle of devices with one smart multitasker – built for real routing workloads, high-bandwidth uplinks, and clean cable management. Whether you’re powering up access points and CCTV cameras, running a fast NAS with a bunch of modern workstations, or managing the routing in your mid-sized office, CRS418 handles it all with ease – and on a budget!

Wi-Fi where it matters
The all-in-one switch/routing champion also delivers 4×4 MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi 6 – for fast, reliable connectivity wherever you need it. The perfect solution to simplify basement server room setups or medium-sized offices on a tight budget – now you don’t need to carry a separate access point!
We know rackmounts are not famous for great wireless coverage. That’s why the CRS418 Wi-Fi edition includes dedicated holes in the back for pigtails, so you can place antennas outside the case if needed.

Why CRS418?
It is perfect for hybrid Layer 2/3 environments – whether you’re segmenting your network with VLANs or routing between them. Here’s why:
Powerful enough to replace most small/medium office routers
Thanks to its 2.2 GHz quad-core ARM CPU, L3 hardware offloading, and RouterOS v7, you can use it as an internet gateway, firewall, and even a CAPsMAN controller.
8x PoE-out ports (802.3af/at and 24V Passive PoE-out)
Power your devices directly from the switch with up to 150 W total output.
17 Gigabit Ethernet ports
Organize all your gear with a mix of PoE and standard Gigabit ports in one rack-mountable unit. Having a nice, clean server room is easy – if you have the right tools.
2x 10G SFP+ cages
Connect to media servers, fast ISP fiber networks, core switches, or high-speed storage.
1U rackmount case with redundant power inputs
Space-saving and secure with dual AC inputs for extra peace of mind.
USB 3 for extra storage or configuration tools
Perfect for backups, logs, databases, or pushing large files around your organization.
RouterOS v7
Use all the advanced switching and routing features MikroTik is known for. No subscriptions, no paywalls, the only limit is your imagination. VLANs, ACLs, SNMP, advanced monitoring & traffic shaping, and so much more!
CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM is more than a switch.
It’s a real multi-tasking champion that keeps your network lean and your server room clean.
