Mikrotik Video CRS418... with 4x4 MIMO Wi-Fi 6?!

Video overview

In this official MikroTik video, the focus is on the CRS418-8P-8G-2S+5axQ2axQ-RM, a hybrid switch that combines robust wired performance with integrated Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. This model builds on the compact, rack-friendly CRS418 platform by integrating dual-band Wi-Fi 6 radios directly into the switch chassis.

The video demonstrates how this device simplifies deployments where both high-speed wired PoE distribution and Wi-Fi 6 coverage are needed — such as office networks, classroom environments, small business edge setups, and meeting spaces. Rather than deploying separate access points, the combined platform reduces cabling complexity and centralizes configuration within RouterOS.

MikroTik emphasizes the flexibility of the switch’s eight PoE-capable ports and dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, giving IT teams the ability to power devices like phones, cameras, and other edge hardware, while the integrated Wi-Fi 6 radios deliver high throughput to wireless clients. It’s a compelling choice for environments that value both performance and simplicity.
