MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM Router in Kenya

The MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM is a powerful professional wired router designed for businesses, ISPs, branch networks, CCTV systems, fibre installations, Starlink deployments and advanced RouterOS environments. It combines 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, one 10Gbps SFP+ cage, a quad-core Cortex-A15 processor, 1GB RAM, passive PoE input/output and RouterOS v7 in a compact fanless metal enclosure. 

The RB4011 sits above entry and mid-range MikroTik routers such as the hEX and L009 in processing capability while remaining below newer high-performance platforms such as the RB5009 and Cloud Core Router series. Its combination of multiple Gigabit interfaces and a 10G SFP+ uplink makes it particularly useful where several Gigabit networks need to connect to a faster fibre or aggregation backbone. 

MikroTik continues to list the RB4011iGS+RM as a current product, with RouterOS v7 support and an official manufacturer suggested price of US$219. That figure is MikroTik's reference price rather than an Orbitlink Solutions Kenya quotation.

MikroTik's current specification lists the AL21400 as an ARM 32-bit processor with four cores, automatic frequency scaling from 533MHz to 1900MHz, 1GB RAM and 512MB NAND storage. 

10 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The RB4011iGS+RM provides ten 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports, allowing it to connect a substantial number of wired devices or network segments without immediately requiring a separate access switch. 

Possible assignments include:

Port	Example Use
Ether1	Fibre ISP / primary WAN / PoE-In
Ether2	Starlink
Ether3	Secondary ISP
Ether4	Office LAN
Ether5	CCTV
Ether6	Servers
Ether7	Guest network
Ether8	VoIP
Ether9	Access point / switch
Ether10	PoE-powered compatible device

RouterOS does not require the ports to remain in one fixed WAN/LAN arrangement. They can be configured for routing, VLANs, bridges, multiple WANs and other network roles.

Ethernet Ports Are Arranged in Two Groups

An important architectural detail is that the ten Ethernet interfaces are organized as two groups of five ports, with each group connected through a switch chip. MikroTik's current hardware manual explicitly documents this internal structure. 

This matters when evaluating performance.

Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces do not mean ten completely independent dedicated CPU links capable of simultaneously delivering 10Gbps of arbitrary firewall, NAT, queue or VPN processing.

Traffic behaviour depends on whether it is:

• Switched

• Bridged

• Routed

• Filtered

• NATed

• Queued

• Encrypted

• Sent through the CPU

Good network design should therefore consider the RB4011's internal port groups as well as its raw port count.

One 10G SFP+ Interface

The RB4011 includes one SFP+ cage capable of 10 Gigabit connectivity. The interface accepts compatible SFP and SFP+ modules. 

This is one of the RB4011's biggest advantages over lower-tier MikroTik platforms.

The SFP+ port can be used for:

• 10G core-switch uplink

• 10G fibre backbone

• Server connection

• ISP fibre

• Distribution switch

• Data-centre connection

• Inter-building fibre

• High-speed aggregation

A common architecture is:

Internet / WAN

Multiple Gigabit Access Networks

SFP+ Modules and Fibre Connectivity

The SFP+ interface allows the RB4011 to connect to compatible fibre or DAC infrastructure.

Depending on the application, the installation may use:

• 1G SFP optical modules

• 10G SFP+ optical modules

• SFP+ DAC cables

• Supported copper transceivers

• Single-mode fibre

• Multimode fibre

The correct module depends on:

Speed

Fibre type

Distance

Wavelength

Connector type

Link partner

MikroTik compatibility

Compatibility should be confirmed before ordering optics, especially where non-standard intermediate rates are required. MikroTik's hardware manual directs users to the official wired-interface compatibility information for supported modules. 

Powerful Quad-Core Cortex-A15 Processor

The RB4011 uses MikroTik's AL21400 quad-core ARM processor, based on Cortex-A15 technology. MikroTik notes that the same CPU family was also used in its carrier-grade RB1100AHx4 platform.

The current specification lists:

4 CPU cores

4 threads

533–1900MHz automatic frequency range

This gives the RB4011 considerably more processing capability than older MikroTik routers such as the RB2011 and entry-level hEX platforms.

Typical workloads include:

• NAT

• Firewall

• VLAN routing

• VPN

• Multi-WAN

• OSPF

• BGP

• Queues

• QoS

• IPsec

• Hotspot

• PPPoE

• Policy routing

1GB RAM

The RB4011 includes 1GB of RAM, which is substantial for its class and gives RouterOS room for more complex network configurations. 

This memory can help in environments involving:

• Large connection tables

• Multiple VLANs

• VPN tunnels

• Dynamic routing

• Firewall rules

• Queues

• Monitoring

• Multiple WAN connections

The router also contains 512MB NAND storage. 

RouterOS v7

The RB4011iGS+RM currently supports RouterOS v7 and includes a Level 5 RouterOS licence. 

RouterOS provides functionality including:

• Firewall

• NAT

• VLANs

• DHCP

• IPv6

• BGP

• OSPF

• Static routing

• IPsec

• VPN

• Queues

• QoS

• Policy routing

• Multi-WAN

• PPPoE

• Hotspot

• SNMP

• Monitoring

• Scripting

MikroTik's April 2026 quick guide states that supported models, including the RB4011iGS+RM, should run RouterOS v7.12 or the latest applicable version for current regulatory compliance. MikroTik's product page currently lists RouterOS v7.24.2 as the stable ARM download. 

RouterOS Level 5 Licence

The RB4011 uses a RouterOS Level 5 licence, which is already installed on the device and does not require a separate RouterOS purchase. 

For the majority of business, enterprise-branch, hotspot and ISP-edge deployments, this licence provides the RouterOS capabilities expected from the RB4011 platform.

IPsec Hardware Acceleration

The RB4011 includes hardware-accelerated IPsec, making it significantly more suitable for encrypted site-to-site networking than many older lower-end MikroTik routers.

Possible applications include:

Head Office ↔ Branch Office

Business ↔ Data Centre

Office ↔ Cloud

Remote Site ↔ Headquarters

Secure ISP / network-management tunnels

MikroTik publishes IPsec performance tests for the model.

RB4011 IPsec Performance

In MikroTik's official lab benchmark using AES-128-CBC + SHA1, a single tunnel with 1400-byte packets reached approximately 1.03Gbps. In the manufacturer's 256-tunnel test, results reached approximately 1.29Gbps for several tested AES combinations at the same packet size. 

These figures are controlled laboratory results rather than guaranteed real-world VPN speeds.

Actual encrypted performance depends on:

• Encryption algorithm

• VPN protocol

• Packet size

• Number of tunnels

• Firewall rules

• NAT

• Queues

• RouterOS version

• Other simultaneous traffic

A customer should therefore not interpret “10G SFP+” as meaning 10Gbps encrypted VPN performance.

RB4011 Routing Performance

MikroTik publishes detailed RFC2544 routing benchmarks for the RB4011.

For large 1518-byte packets, MikroTik reports approximately:

Configuration	Manufacturer Lab Result
Fast-path routing	~9.79Gbps
25 simple queues	~9.79Gbps
25 IP filter rules	~7.21Gbps

Performance changes considerably with smaller packets. For example, the same test with 64-byte packets and 25 IP filter rules produces only about 289Mbps because packet-processing load rises dramatically. 

This is an important example of why router performance should never be reduced to a single Mbps or Gbps number.

Understanding MikroTik Performance Figures

MikroTik's published results are performed with specialized Xena Networks testing equipment using RFC2544 methodology. The manufacturer explicitly states that the figures represent maximum performance under the specified test conditions and that different configurations will most likely produce lower results. 

Real-world throughput depends on:

• Packet size

• NAT

• Firewall complexity

• FastTrack

• Queues

• VPN

• Number of connections

• VLAN configuration

• Routing protocols

• Logging

• RouterOS settings

The RB4011 can be extremely fast when correctly configured, but the physical interface speeds should not be treated as universal guaranteed routed throughput.

Passive PoE-In on Ether1

The RB4011 can receive power through Ether1 using passive PoE.

MikroTik currently specifies:

PoE-In voltage: 18–57V DC

The router can alternatively be powered through its DC jack, which accepts 12–57V DC. 

This gives installers flexibility in network cabinets and remote deployments.

Important PoE Note

The RB4011's input is passive PoE, not a universal statement of 802.3af/at support.

The power source and voltage must therefore be checked for compatibility before connecting it.

Passive PoE-Out on Ether10

The RB4011 can also provide passive PoE output through Ether10. 

MikroTik specifies:

PoE-Out Specification	Value
PoE-Out Port	Ether10
Type	Passive PoE
Maximum Voltage	Up to 57V
Low-Voltage Current Limit	600mA
High-Voltage Current Limit	420mA
Maximum Total Output	600mA

This may be useful for powering a compatible:

• MikroTik wireless radio

• Access point

• CPE

• Other passive-PoE device

Voltage and PoE compatibility must be verified first. Passive PoE equipment should never be connected based only on the fact that both products use the term “PoE.”

Power Consumption

Official current specifications list:

Power Specification	Value
DC Inputs	2
DC Jack	12–57V
PoE-In	18–57V passive
Consumption Without Attachments	18W
Maximum Consumption	33W
Included Adapter	24V 1.5A

The higher maximum figure allows for attached loads such as PoE-powered equipment.

Fanless Passive Cooling

The RB4011iGS+RM is passively cooled, meaning it does not rely on a cooling fan.

The solid metal enclosure helps dissipate heat while keeping the router quiet.

This makes it useful in:

• Offices

• Network cabinets

• Home labs

• Server rooms

• Branch offices

• Retail environments

Adequate airflow should still be maintained around the unit.

Solid Metal Enclosure

MikroTik uses a compact matte-black metal enclosure for the RB4011.

Its dimensions are approximately:

228 × 120 × 30mm. 

The design allows desktop placement while also supporting rack installation using the supplied rack ears.

Rackmount Installation

The RM version includes two rackmount ears designed to secure the router in a standard rack environment. 

MikroTik's current hardware manual confirms that the unit can either be installed in a rack using the supplied brackets or placed on a desktop using the appropriate rubber feet. 

This makes the RB4011 suitable for:

• Server racks

• Network cabinets

• ISP POPs

• Office communications racks

• Structured cabling rooms

Indoor Installation

The RB4011iGS+RM is designed for indoor use.

MikroTik recommends a dry, ventilated environment and states that the device has no protection against water contamination. Its current manual also recommends Cat6 cabling and professional mounting/configuration. 

The official tested temperature range is approximately:

-40°C to +70°C.

The wide tested temperature range does not make the unit an outdoor weatherproof router.

MikroTik RB4011 for Fibre Internet

The RB4011 is particularly useful as a high-performance business fibre gateway.

A typical configuration is:

Fibre ONT

↓

RB4011iGS+RM

↓

10G SFP+ Core Switch

↓

Office / Wi-Fi / CCTV / Servers

RouterOS can then manage:

• PPPoE

• DHCP WAN

• Static IP

• NAT

• Firewall

• VLANs

• VPN

• Queues

• Multiple networks

Where the ISP and optical infrastructure permit it, the SFP+ interface may also be incorporated directly into the fibre network design using a compatible module.

MikroTik RB4011 for Starlink

The RB4011 can be used as a sophisticated RouterOS gateway behind a Starlink connection.

A typical network could be:

Starlink

↓

Ethernet

↓

RB4011

↓

Managed Switch

↓

Wi-Fi / CCTV / Servers / Office Devices

The RB4011 can then provide:

• Advanced firewalling

• VLANs

• Guest-network isolation

• VPN

• QoS

• Bandwidth control

• Multiple LAN networks

• Monitoring

• Dedicated access-point integration

The exact physical connection to Starlink depends on the Starlink kit and network architecture.

Fibre + Starlink Failover

A useful application is combining a primary fibre connection with Starlink as backup.

Fibre → WAN 1

Starlink → WAN 2

↓

RB4011

↓

Business LAN

RouterOS can be configured to detect a problem with the primary route and move traffic to the backup connection.

When the primary connection recovers, routing can return to the preferred WAN.

This architecture can benefit:

• Offices

• Hotels

• Schools

• Hospitals

• Retail businesses

• Data-dependent organisations

MikroTik RB4011 for Multi-WAN

The RB4011's 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces make it suitable for networks with multiple internet connections.

For example:

Ether1 → Fibre ISP

Ether2 → Starlink

Ether3 → Secondary fibre

Ether4 → 4G/5G router

Remaining ports → Internal networks

RouterOS can implement:

• Failover

• Policy routing

• WAN monitoring

• Traffic distribution

• Different WANs for different VLANs

It is important to distinguish load balancing from bonding. Multiple internet connections do not automatically combine into one faster single-session connection.

MikroTik RB4011 for VLAN Networks

The RB4011 can serve as a central Layer 3 gateway for segmented business networks.

VLAN	Purpose
10	Network Management
20	Staff
30	Guest Wi-Fi
40	CCTV
50	VoIP
60	Servers
70	IoT
80	POS / Business Systems

RouterOS firewall rules can then control communication between those segments.

For example:

Guest → Internet only

CCTV → NVR only

IoT → Restricted network

Staff → Internet + authorized servers

Management → Network equipment

This is far more secure than placing every device on one unrestricted LAN.

MikroTik RB4011 for CCTV Networks

The RB4011 is useful as a gateway and segmentation router for larger CCTV installations.

A common architecture is:

Internet

↓

RB4011

↓

Managed PoE Switch

↓

IP Cameras + NVR

The RB4011 can separate CCTV traffic into a dedicated VLAN and restrict communication using RouterOS firewall policies.

A separate PoE switch should normally provide power to multiple cameras rather than expecting Ether10 to power an entire CCTV system.

MikroTik RB4011 for Wi-Fi Networks

The RB4011iGS+RM has no built-in Wi-Fi.

For professional deployments, it can instead be paired with dedicated access points:

Internet

↓

RB4011

↓

PoE Managed Switch

↓

Multiple Wi-Fi Access Points

This architecture can provide better wireless coverage than relying on one central wireless router, especially in:

• Offices

• Hotels

• Schools

• Restaurants

• Apartment buildings

• Multi-floor premises

The RB4011 manages routing while access points can be positioned according to coverage requirements.

MikroTik RB4011 for Hotspot Networks

RouterOS provides hotspot functionality, making the RB4011 suitable as the routing layer for managed public-access networks.

Possible environments include:

• Hotels

• Restaurants

• Apartments

• Schools

• Offices

• Events

• Small campuses

A typical structure is:

ISP → RB4011 → PoE Switch → Access Points → Users

The RB4011 can handle routing, DHCP, firewall policies, queues and hotspot services while dedicated APs provide wireless coverage.

MikroTik RB4011 for VPN

The RB4011 is a strong option for small-to-medium business VPN environments because of its ARM processing platform and IPsec hardware acceleration. 

Applications include:

Branch ↔ Head Office

Remote User ↔ Office

Office ↔ Cloud

Office ↔ Data Centre

For heavier VPN requirements—particularly multi-gigabit encrypted workloads—a more powerful RB5009 or CCR platform should also be evaluated.

MikroTik RB4011 for OSPF

RouterOS v7 supports OSPF, allowing the RB4011 to participate in dynamically routed networks.

For example:

Head Office RB4011

↕

Branch Router

↕

Warehouse Router

↕

Remote Site

OSPF can automatically exchange routes between the participating routers rather than requiring every internal network route to be manually configured.

MikroTik RB4011 for BGP

The RB4011 can run BGP under RouterOS v7, making it suitable for certain ISP, lab and advanced enterprise routing environments.

However, the ability to run BGP and the suitability for a particular BGP deployment are not the same thing.

For large full-table ISP environments, much more powerful platforms such as:

• CCR2004

• CCR2116

• CCR2216

may be more appropriate because they provide greater CPU, RAM and high-speed interface capacity.

The L009 is a modern and efficient option for ordinary Gigabit networks.

The RB4011 remains much more attractive where 10 Gigabit uplink capability and stronger routing performance are required. 

RB4011iGS+RM vs RB5009UG+S+IN

The RB5009 is the newer high-performance successor-class alternative for many deployments.

Feature	RB4011iGS+RM	RB5009UG+S+IN
CPU Cores	4	4

10G SFP+	Yes	Yes
USB 3.0	No	Yes
PoE-In	Passive	Multiple powering options
Main Advantage	More 1G ports	Newer architecture / higher flexibility

The RB4011 remains attractive when the installation benefits from ten built-in Gigabit ports.

The RB5009 is generally more attractive for new performance-focused deployments where a newer CPU platform, 2.5GbE and USB 3.0 are valuable.

RB4011iGS+RM vs CCR2004-16G-2S+

Feature	RB4011iGS+RM	CCR2004-16G-2S+
CPU Cores	4	4
Architecture	ARM	ARM64
RAM	1GB	4GB
Gigabit Ethernet	10	16
10G SFP+	1	2
RouterOS Licence	L5	L6
Cooling	Passive	Active
Main Market	SMB / advanced office / ISP edge	ISP / enterprise

The CCR2004 is significantly more suitable for larger routing deployments that require more RAM, more Ethernet connectivity and dual 10G interfaces.

The RB4011 remains more compact and is suitable for networks that do not require CCR-level capacity.

RB4011iGS+RM vs CCR2116-12G-4S+

There is a substantial performance-class difference between these devices.

The RB4011 is designed for advanced SMB and moderate ISP routing.

The CCR2116 provides:

• 16 CPU cores

• 16GB RAM

• Four 10G SFP+

• Layer 3 hardware offloading

• Much greater routing capacity

The CCR2116 is therefore more appropriate for major BGP, ISP backbone and high-throughput enterprise applications.

RB4011 vs RB3011

The RB4011 represents a significant performance upgrade from the older RB3011 generation.

Its advantages include:

• More powerful quad-core processor

• ARM architecture

• 1GB RAM

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports

• 10G SFP+

• IPsec hardware acceleration

• Passive cooling

For networks still operating older RB3011 equipment, the RB4011 can remain a useful upgrade option, although the newer RB5009 should also be considered for fresh installations.

Main Advantages of MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM

The RB4011 provides an attractive combination of ten Gigabit Ethernet ports, one 10G SFP+ interface, quad-core ARM processing, 1GB RAM, IPsec hardware acceleration, passive cooling and RouterOS v7. 

Its major strengths include:

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports

• 10G SFP+

• Strong routing performance

• Quad-core CPU

• 1GB RAM

• Hardware-accelerated IPsec

• PoE input

• PoE output

• VLAN support

• Multi-WAN

• VPN

• OSPF

• BGP

• Rackmount capability

• Fanless design

• Mature RouterOS platform

Limitations of MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM

The RB4011 is powerful, but several limitations should be understood.

It has only one 10G SFP+ interface, so networks requiring multiple 10G links may be better served by the CCR2004 or higher platforms. It also lacks modern 2.5GbE copper ports and does not provide USB connectivity. 

Its Ethernet ports are divided into two switch-chip groups rather than each having an independent dedicated CPU path. 

The RB4011 also uses passive PoE rather than a universal PoE implementation, meaning power-source and downstream-device compatibility must be checked carefully. 

Finally, although it remains current, newer hardware such as the RB5009 may be more appropriate for some fresh installations.

Who Should Buy the MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM?

The RB4011 is particularly suitable for medium businesses, advanced offices, fibre installations, Starlink deployments, CCTV networks, hotels, schools, branch offices, small ISPs and organisations requiring multiple Gigabit interfaces plus a 10G backbone connection.

It is especially attractive where a network needs more built-in Ethernet ports than an RB5009 but does not yet require the processing and interface capacity of a Cloud Core Router.

For a basic home or small office using only a few devices, it may be unnecessary. For large ISP cores, full-table BGP or multi-10G networks, a CCR platform is usually more appropriate.

Typical RB4011 Business Network

MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM Price in Kenya

MikroTik currently lists a manufacturer suggested price of US$219 for the RB4011iGS+RM. This is the manufacturer's international reference price and not an Orbitlink Solutions Kenya retail price.

Actual Kenya pricing may vary depending on:

• Exchange rates

• Freight

• Taxes

• Distributor pricing

• Current stock

• Included accessories

Contact Orbitlink Solutions for the current MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM price and stock availability in Kenya.

A complete installation may additionally require an SFP+ module or DAC, fibre patch cords, managed switches, Wi-Fi access points, UPS equipment and professional RouterOS configuration.

Why Buy MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM from Orbitlink Solutions?

Choosing between the RB4011, L009, RB5009 and CCR platforms should depend on the actual network rather than only the product specification.

The RB4011 is particularly compelling when ten Gigabit copper interfaces and one 10G uplink are useful. A smaller Gigabit deployment may be better served by an L009, while a new network requiring 2.5GbE or newer processing may favour the RB5009. A larger ISP or enterprise environment may instead require a CCR2004, CCR2116 or CCR2216.

Orbitlink Solutions can also help match the router with suitable SFP+ modules, fibre infrastructure, managed switches, access points, cabling and RouterOS configuration.

Watch the MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM Video

The RB4011iGS+RM remains an interesting MikroTik router because it combines unusually high copper-port density with a true 10Gbps SFP+ uplink. Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces can accommodate several WAN and LAN networks directly, while the SFP+ interface allows the router to connect to a faster distribution or fibre backbone. MikroTik's official benchmarks demonstrate that the platform can approach 10Gbps in favourable fast-path, large-packet laboratory conditions, although real-world performance varies substantially once filtering, queues, VPNs and smaller packets are introduced. 

Its quad-core Cortex-A15-class CPU and 1GB RAM also position it well above basic RouterBOARD gateways. Hardware-assisted IPsec is particularly useful for businesses connecting branches or data centres over secure tunnels, while RouterOS v7 provides VLAN, OSPF, BGP, firewall, multi-WAN and policy-routing functionality on the same platform. 

For a new deployment, the RB4011 should nevertheless be compared carefully with the RB5009. The RB5009 offers a newer architecture and modern connectivity options, while the RB4011's major advantage remains its ten built-in Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Where that port count is valuable and one 10G uplink is sufficient, the RB4011 can still be a very practical professional router.

Yes. The RB4011iGS+RM includes rackmount ears and can be installed in a standard rack enclosure. 

Is RB4011 waterproof?

No. MikroTik specifies it for indoor installation in a dry and ventilated environment.

Is RB4011 better than L009?

The RB4011 provides significantly greater CPU performance, ten Gigabit ports and a true 10G SFP+ interface. The L009 is newer and more economical for ordinary Gigabit deployments.

Is RB4011 better than RB5009?

Not universally. The RB5009 has a newer architecture, 2.5GbE and 10G SFP+, while the RB4011 provides more built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports. The better option depends on the network.

Is RB4011 suitable for an ISP?

Yes, particularly for smaller ISP, edge-routing, POP and aggregation applications. Larger BGP or multi-10G environments should also evaluate CCR models.
