The MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM is a high-performance 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for business networks, ISP deployments, and homelab environments. It features 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 2x 10G SFP+ uplink ports, providing reliable high-speed connectivity for aggregation and distribution layers.

This switch includes MikroTik’s dual-boot functionality, allowing you to choose between SwOS or RouterOS depending on your network requirements. SwOS provides a streamlined interface focused on switching features, while RouterOS enables advanced routing, Layer 3 capabilities, and full integration with the MikroTik ecosystem.
