Review on Gigabit Wireless AP RB951G-2HND πŸ’» Mikrotik with 1000mW Power and 5 Ports by Kenta Kawano ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

I was very pleased with the comments of comrades who "did not like" the piece of iron just because they did not have enough skills to configure it. Here you need to understand that the device has its own, I would say geeky niche, and the average user is unlikely to be able to master and configure it in a swoop. If there is no desire to learn, read manuals, and the words gateway, mask and command line cause fear - this piece of iron is not for you. Save your nerves and money. For a trouble-free setup, knowledge at the CCNA level is more than enough, but you still have to read the manuals, because RouterOS is "this is not for you", but there is nothing daunting. Modem YOTA 4G LTE (Swift / WLTUBA-107) with DHCP, Amazon, NAT raised in an hour via webfig. Everything has been working like clockwork for 3 months in 24/7 mode. But it is more convenient to finish and configure via the command line, because there are certain flaws and misunderstandings in webfig, for example, I did not find an analogue of ip pool edit. The device is very flexible in settings - with the help of scripts and metarouter it is possible to solve almost any tasks. Another thing is that it is not always possible to put such solutions into production, but for the home - very much even nothing. The router is able to realize the most sophisticated fantasies of network maniacs. :) I recommend to buy.

Pros
  • - SMB level at the price of hamster routers. Unless the performance for this segment is not enough, but in terms of functionality - a full-fledged SMB. - stable work 24/7 - long range WiFi - flexibility of settings - command line
Cons
  • I would like two USB (3.0) ports, 5 GHz WiFi for the future and a web muzzle without minor bugs. But these are nit-picking, especially since I don’t use gui at all now. Serious bugs and shortcomings have not been found.
