MikroTik RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition Router (RB1100Dx4)

The MikroTik RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition is a powerful rackmount router built for enterprises, service providers, and advanced networks that demand stability, high throughput, and professional monitoring. Equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor and hardware acceleration for IPsec encryption, this router delivers reliable performance in high-load environments.

What makes this model unique is its integrated Dude server package, allowing network administrators to manage, monitor, and analyze infrastructure directly from the router. This combination of routing power and monitoring capability makes it a complete solution for modern businesses.

Key Features

• Quad-core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A15 CPU with hardware acceleration.

• 13 Gigabit Ethernet ports with independent switching groups.

• IPsec hardware encryption engine capable of up to 2.2 Gbps throughput.

• Dual redundant power supplies (AC) with failover support.

• Built-in 60 GB M.2 SSD pre-installed for The Dude monitoring server.

• 1U rackmount design ideal for professional server rooms.

• RouterOS Level 6 license, enabling advanced routing, firewall, VPN, and bandwidth control features.

Performance and Reliability

The RB1100AHx4 is designed to handle heavy traffic loads in environments such as ISPs, enterprises, and large offices. With up to 7.5 Gbps throughput in fast path routing, this router ensures smooth performance even under demanding workloads. The inclusion of a dedicated hardware encryption engine ensures fast and secure VPNs, making it suitable for branch interconnections and remote workforce deployments.

Redundancy is another core strength of this router. Dual hot-swappable power supplies minimize downtime and guarantee business continuity.

The Dude Edition Advantage

Unlike the standard RB1100 series, the Dude Edition comes pre-loaded with a 60 GB M.2 SSD that allows The Dude server to run natively on the router. This gives IT administrators real-time visibility into network devices, bandwidth usage, uptime, and traffic patterns—all from a single interface.

This integration eliminates the need for an external monitoring server, reducing hardware costs while simplifying deployment and management.
