Peripherals

This article describes supported add-on peripherals for RouterBOARD hardware devices.

Cellular modems​

RouterOS v7 supports the following cellular modems:

  • MikroTik modems.
  • Third-party modems supported by device class/type:
    • MBIM class USB interface
    • USB-CDC class USB interface
    • RNDIS type USB interface
  • Third-party modems with added support (see the modem table below).

Please note​

  • Not all modems are listed in the supported modem table. Some modems may work even if not listed because modem manufacturers often re-use the same hardware IDs, and vice versa.
  • Customized, localized, or locked units may have compatibility issues.
  • Third-party modems may require configuration adjustments before they can be used with RouterOS.
  • For mini-PCIe modems with a USB3.0 interface installed in a mini-PCIe slot with PCIe/USB2.0 support, the USB speed must be limited to USB2.0, or the mini-PCIe shared PCIe/USB3.0 pin must be isolated. See the picture below the table.

  • Samsung PM9A3
  • Samsung PM983
  • Micron 7300 series
  • Micron 7400 series
  • WD DC SN640
  • Transcend UTE210T
