It’s time to upgrade your RB2011 setup: more features and better performance for the same low price!

With simple accessories, you can mount FOUR of these routers in a single 1U rack!

The legendary RB2011 product line has provided affordable, flexible and robust connectivity for over a decade. In fact, it was MikroTik’s very first router with SFP. Thus, time for an upgrade.

But don’t worry: they have kept and improved all the key elements and features of the beloved RB2011. Also the red color scheme and attractive price!

There are three main reasons to choose the L009: better performance, more features, and some interesting quality of life improvements.

The legendary RB2011 product line has provided affordable, flexible and robust connectivity for over a decade.

But don’t worry: they have kept and improved all the key elements and features of the beloved RB2011. Also the red color scheme and attractive price!

The L009 has a powerful dual-core ARM CPU. It offers significant improvements in routing and filtering, complex firewall rules, IPsec hardware encryption, and several advanced RouterOS features.

The ARM CPU architecture offers significant advantages over older MIPS-based devices. Like using all the latest Linux kernel features. Or the implementation of your own container projects.

The combination of a modern ARM CPU and a full-size USB port is perfect for running custom container projects. For example, you could run a Pi-hole Adblock on this router.

Or you can use the USB port to add an LTE modem of your choice. The imagination is the real limit here.

L009 is up to four times faster than RB2011 in most cases and configurations, from simple fast path routing to complex bridge filters.

All ports are now Gigabit Ethernet ports. The first port is equipped with PoE. You can use it instead of the DC jack to power the device. And on the last port there is a PoE output* – for powering other devices.

Another useful addition is an SFP console that supports both Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit connectivity. They have tested a number of MikroTik SFP modules and cables that support higher speeds – the 2.5G capability makes a system administrator’s life so much easier – there is a console port for quick direct access configuration!

At its heart is a fast Marvell Peridot switch chip that provides an impressive 2.5 Gigabit full duplex connection to the CPU for all ports except Ether1.

The first port has its own Gigabit full duplex line to the CPU. This means – countless configurations without bottlenecks!

The 2.4 GHz dual-chain wireless connectivity is also much stronger now.

Generation 6 or ax standard wireless offers up to 90% faster speed in the 2.4 GHz spectrum! Not to mention the overall signal stability. It can serve more customers with better responsiveness.

The new case is a spectacular innovation in itself. This is the same form factor that you may already know from the coveted RB5009 devices. It has several extremely useful properties.

First of all, the case acts like a massive heat sink that protects your devices from overheating.

But here’s the kicker: With a simple set of accessories, you can fit up to four of these routers in a single 1U rackmount space.

At MikroTik, they are world champions in server room tetris. So here’s their latest lifehack for the most efficient server rooms: take an RB5009 with PoE out ports.

And mount it along with seven L009 routers in just two 1U rackmount spaces.

They are becoming a living legend among system administrators, setting a new example for efficient space management and simple, reliable power.

And if you don’t need the wireless capability, you can cut the cost even further and try the other version of this router: the L009UiGS-RM.

It has the same functions – except for the 2.4 GHz wireless connection. And it comes with all the necessary mounting accessories.

RB2011 will always remain a network legend, but it’s time to take it a step further. And the L009 product line is the perfect upgrade to save you time, money and server room space like never before!
