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

Cellular modems

RouterOS v7 supported cellular modems:

MikroTik modems
3rd party modems supported by device class/type:
- MBIM class USB interface
- USB-CDC class USB interface
- RNDIS type USB interface
3rd party modem with added support, see modem table below

Please note:

not all modems are listed in the supported modem table, some may work because modem manufacturers re-use the same hardware IDs and vice versa
customized, localized and locked units may have compatibility issues
3rd party modem may require a modem configuration adjustment before it can be used with RouterOS
mini-PCIe modems with USB3.0 interface installed in mini-PCIe PCIe/USB2.0 enabled slot USB speed must be limited to USB2.0 speed or mini-PCIe shared PCIe/USB3.0 pins isolated. See the picture below table
