The hEX Refresh (E50UG) is MikroTik's updated five-port gigabit wired router, replacing the long-running hEX. It steps up to a dual-core 950 MHz CPU and 512MB of RAM, runs RouterOS v7, and adds a USB-A port for storage or a cellular modem. It has no Wi-Fi, so it is a router for people who already have an access point or only need wired networking. Against consumer routers it gives far more routing, firewall and VPN control for the money, but setup is technical and support is documentation-based rather than phone-based.
