I have not used them, but....here is what you are asking about.. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CRS_features
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CRS_examples specs on performance as a switch and or Router are listed on the bottom of the specs's page on the routerboard.com web site. https://routerboard.com/CRS112-8G-4S-IN Regards Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] > From: "Colton Conor" <[email protected]> > To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, November 3, 2016 9:27:18 AM > Subject: Re: [WISPA] MDU Ethernet Switch > Dan and Faisal, > I am now looking at the CRS112-8G-4S-IN.
