High-Performance Business and Enterprise Solutions

The RB4011’s hardware is built to handle heavy traffic loads and complex processing requirements, making it ideal for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), branch offices, and educational institutions.

  • Core Router and Gateway: Serves as the primary router for networks requiring high throughput (near-gigabit WAN speeds). Its Quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and 1GB RAM ensure efficient handling of routing, firewalling, and NAT without bottlenecks.
  • 10 Gigabit Uplink: The dedicated SFP+ port allows the router to connect to a high-speed fiber backbone or a network core switch at 10 Gbps. This is crucial for businesses with high-capacity storage, servers, or extremely fast ISP links.
  • Flexible Connectivity: With ten Gigabit Ethernet ports, it can segment a network into multiple logical parts (e.g., separating the LAN, VoIP systems, and servers) using VLANs, and provides ample ports for wired devices.

 Advanced Security and Remote Access (VPN)

The RB4011 is a strong candidate for secure remote connectivity and network perimeter defense due to its specialized hardware acceleration.

  • High-Speed VPN Concentrator: It features IPsec hardware acceleration, which significantly boosts the performance of encrypted VPN tunnels (like IPsec, L2TP, and IKEv2). This makes it effective for:
    • Site-to-Site VPN: Securely connecting multiple branch offices over the internet.
    • Remote Access: Allowing many remote employees to connect securely to the main office network.
  • Comprehensive Firewall: Running RouterOS, it enables complex firewall rules, stateful inspection, and traffic filtering to secure the network edge and protect internal resources from external threats.

 Advanced Home and Prosumer Applications

For power users, gamers, streamers, and those running extensive home labs, the RB4011 provides features beyond standard consumer routers.

  • Traffic Management (QoS): Users can implement Quality of Service (QoS) rules to prioritize specific traffic types (like gaming packets or streaming video) or limit bandwidth for less critical devices (like guest Wi-Fi or torrents) using queues.
  • Powering External Devices: The PoE-out feature on port #10 allows the router to directly power an external device, such as a Wireless Access Point (WAP) or an IP camera, simplifying wiring.
  • Integrated Wireless (Wi-Fi Model): The RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN model includes fast, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) capabilities, making it a powerful all-in-one solution for both wired and wireless demanding home environments.
