RouterOS Level 4: The Professional Control Center for Your Network
Forget the limited interfaces of conventional home Routers. The RB951Ui-2HnD comes with MikroTik RouterOS and a Level 4 license. This means for you: you have full control. Design complex firewall rules, prioritize data traffic with Quality of Service (QoS), build secure VPN tunnels, or set up a professional Hotspot Gateway system for guests. This Router is not a toy, but a powerful tool for anyone who takes their Network seriously. It is the perfect basis for demanding projects and belongs to the category of professional MikroTik Routers.
Ingenious Power Supply: PoE In and PoE Out for Maximum Flexibility
Cable clutter is a thing of the past. The RB951Ui-2HnD offers you maximum flexibility in Power Supply. You can operate it classically via the included Power Supply or – and this is the highlight – directly via the Network cable using passive PoE on Port 1. But that's not all: Port 5 features a PoE-Out function. This allows you to power another device, such as an IP Camera or another Access Point, directly via the Router. A clean and efficient installation is thus guaranteed.
Stable 2.4 GHz WiFi Router for Office and Demanding Home Users
Reliability is everything. The RB951Ui-2HnD is designed as a robust and stable WiFi Router for continuous operation. Its 2.4 GHz radio module according to the 802.11n standard (Wi-Fi 4) ensures impressive signal coverage with a transmit power of up to 30 dBm (1000 mW). Even though it is limited to the 2.4 GHz band, it compensates for this with its enormous stability and configurability. It is one of the most reliable WiFi Access Points for environments where uninterrupted operation is crucial.
More Than Just Network: The USB Port for 4G Backup & More
An internet outage can quickly become a problem in a home office or small office. The RB951Ui-2HnD is prepared for this. Via the integrated USB 2.0 port, you can connect a 3G/4G modem and set up a fail-safe internet connection (WAN-Failover). If your main line fails, the Router automatically switches to the mobile connection. Alternatively, you can also use the USB port for a small Network storage device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the MikroTik RB951Ui-2HnD power another device?
Yes, Ethernet Port 5 (Ether5) features passive PoE-Out. It can power another PoE-capable device, such as an IP Camera, with the same voltage that powers the MikroTik Router itself, at a maximum current of 500 mA. This makes it a versatile component for your Network, reducing the need for separate PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
Which operating system runs on the RB951Ui-2HnD?
The device comes with the powerful MikroTik RouterOS and a Level 4 license. This operating system is known for its stability and extensive range of functions, far exceeding those of typical home WiFi Routers, offering professional features like VPN, QoS, and Hotspot Gateway. It's a key feature of MikroTik Routers.
Is the RB951Ui-2HnD suitable for beginners?
Due to its complexity and wealth of options, the device is primarily aimed at advanced users, Network technicians, or enthusiasts. Configuration is done via the web interface (WebFig) or the 'WinBox' software. However, a standard configuration for immediate use is available, making it accessible for those willing to learn about advanced Network setups.
Does the Router support 5 GHz WiFi?
No, the RB951Ui-2HnD is a pure single-band device and exclusively supports WiFi in the 2.4 GHz frequency band according to 802.11b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4) standards. For solutions requiring 5 GHz Components, you would need a different WiFi Router or WiFi Access Point.
Can I use a 3G/4G USB stick for a mobile internet connection?
Yes, the integrated USB 2.0 Port supports connecting compatible 3G/4G/LTE-Modems. This allows for setting up a mobile internet connection as the primary access or as a fail-safe backup solution (WAN-Failover). For robust mobile connectivity, consider dedicated 4G / 5G Routers like those from Teltonika 4G / 5G Routers.
How do I reset the device to factory settings?
The device has a reset button. To reset the RouterOS configuration, press and hold the button during startup until the USER LED starts blinking (approx. 5 seconds). Then release it to clear the configuration. This is a standard procedure for many MikroTik Routers.
