Wired Connections
Wired connection documentation covers Ethernet, PWR-Line, and MikroTik wired interface compatibility. Use this section to configure and troubleshoot physical wired connectivity.
Ethernet
MikroTik RouterOS supports various types of Ethernet interfaces - ranging from 10Mbps to 10Gbps Ethernet over copper twisted pair, 1Gbps, 10Gbps, 25Gbps SFP/SFP+/SFP28 interfaces and 40Gbps, 100Gbps QSFP+/QSFP28 interfaces. Certain RouterBoard devices are equipped with a combo interface that simultaneously contains two interface types (e.g. Ethernet over twisted pair and SFP/SFP+ interface) allowing selection of the most suitable option or creation of a physical link failover. Through RouterOS, it is possible to control different Ethernet-related properties like link speed, auto-negotiation, duplex mode, etc, monitor transceiver diagnostic information and see a wide range of Ethernet-related statistics.

PWR Line
The PWR-Line series devices allow Ethernet-like connectivity between supported devices over regular power lines. When plugged into the same electrical circuit, the PWR-Line devices will establish connectivity by using the HomePlug AV standard.
