L009 is more than just a router. This product line is up to 4 times faster than RB2011, has a modern ARM processor with container support, an innovative housing that allows the installation of up to four routers in one 1U space, more RAM, PoE and 2.5G SFP support. This version comes with dual-chain 2.4 GHz wireless.
There are three main reasons to choose the L009: better performance, more features, and some interesting quality of life improvements.
L009 has an efficient dual-core ARM processor. It offers significant improvements in routing and filtering, complex firewall rules, IPsec hardware encryption, and various advanced RouterOS features. The ARM processor architecture provides significant advantages over older MIPS-based devices. Like taking advantage of all the latest Linux kernel features. Or implementing your own container projects. The combination of a modern ARM processor and a full-sized USB port is perfect for running custom container projects. For example, you can run Pi-hole ad blocker on this router. You can also use USB to add an LTE modem of your choice.
L009 is up to 4x faster than RB2011 in most cases and configurations, from simple fast track routing to complex bridge filters. L009 IPsec hardware encryption provides lower CPU usage with no measurable performance penalty compared to a regular driver. You can expect a throughput of around 6090 Mbps with a packet size of 1400 bytes.
All ports are now Gigabit Ethernet ports. The first port has a PoE input. You can use it instead of a DC socket to power your device. The last port has PoE-Out to power other devices. Another helpful addition is an SFP cage that supports both Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit connectivity. We have tested various MikroTik SFP modules and cables that support higher speeds 2.5G capability makes the system administrator's life much easier - there is a console port for quick configuration with direct access!
At the heart of it all is the high-speed Marvell Peridot switch, which offers an impressive 2.5-gigabit, full-duplex connection to the CPU and all ports except Ether1. The first port has its own full-duplex gigabit line to the processor. This means countless configurations without bottlenecks!
2.4GHz dual-chain wireless is now much stronger. Wireless Generation 6 or standard ax offers up to 90% faster speeds in the 2.4 GHz spectrum! Not to mention the overall signal stability. It can serve more customers with better responsiveness.
The new housing is a spectacular innovation in itself. This is the same form factor you may have seen on our highly sought after RB5009 devices. It has several extremely useful properties. First, the case acts as a huge heat sink, protecting your setup from overheating. With a simple accessory kit, you can fit up to four of these routers into a single 1U rack space.
The L009 product line is the perfect upgrade that will help you save time, money and space in your server room like never before!
