MikroTik CRS304-4XG-IN review with a 10G speed test, WinBox walkthrough, and a look at RouterOS versus SwitchOS. In this video, I take a closer look at the MikroTik CRS304-4XG-IN, a compact 10 Gigabit switch with 4x 10G Ethernet ports, a separate 1G management port, passive cooling, and flexible power input options. 0:00 - Introduction 0:11 - Description 4:34 - Demo 5:32 - WinBox 6:32 - SwitchOS 8:38 - Conclusion This video is useful if you are considering the CRS304-4XG-IN for a homelab, small office, or any setup where you want 10GbE without needing SFP+ modules. MikroTik’s product page highlights that the switch has four ready-to-use 10G Ethernet ports and is designed to simplify 10 Gigabit network setups. I also walk through the default configuration in WinBox and look at the SwitchOS angle, which is especially relevant because MikroTik documents the device as supporting RouterOS v7 and SwOS dual-boot. If you want a hardware-focused review, MikroTik also publishes all-port Layer 2 switching results up to about 39.5 Gbps at 1518-byte packets, which makes the performance angle a strong part of the title and description. #MikroTik #CRS304 #10GbE Follow me on X: https://l.samayas.eu/jo3eaYEf3E?P=YT&V=32 Buy me a Coffee : https://l.samayas.eu/jX6xL7EWhd?P=YT&V=32 Studio Equipment Camera Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II: https://l.samayas.eu/k7y90TREl0?P=YT&V=32 Secondary Camera Obsbot Tail Air: https://l.samayas.eu/iFQu9WfmCw?P=YT&V=32 Elgato Prompter: https://l.samayas.eu/fHVrqqXtSc?P=YT&V=32 Microphone Rode Wireless GO II: https://l.samayas.eu/afBINjiBXN?P=YT&V=32
