Still not sure which range fits?
Most jobs sort themselves into a range quickly once you know the deciding question: does it need to route internet traffic, or just switch it? Is there a fixed-line connection, or does it need to work over cellular? Is the link indoors, or bridging two buildings? Each of the guides linked in the table above goes one level deeper into the specific models within that range, once you know which one you are choosing between.

Common questions
Straight answers from the ARC IP Networks team. Last reviewed September 2026.
A router (hEX, RB5009, CCR) handles NAT, firewalling and the connection to your internet service. A switch (CRS, CSS) connects devices together on the local network. Some CRS switches can do light routing as well, but a dedicated router is the right tool for internet-facing traffic.
An RB5009 comfortably routes multi-gigabit traffic for a small business. Step up to a CCR once you are terminating full BGP tables, running heavy IPsec, or need more CPU headroom than a single-core or light multi-core router provides.
CRS (Cloud Router Switch) models run RouterOS with hardware-offloaded VLAN routing and ACLs, and most dual-boot into SwOS. CSS (Cloud Smart Switch) models run the leaner SwOS only, giving straightforward managed Layer 2 switching at a lower price.
LTE/5G CPE such as the LHG, SXT and LtAP ranges suit sites with no fixed-line connection available, as a failover link for an existing connection, or for vehicles and remote monitoring where a wired service is not practical.
Wireless Wire is MikroTik's pre-paired 60 GHz point-to-point kit, built for short, clear-line-of-sight links between buildings, delivering gigabit-class throughput without running fibre.
