Review on MikroTik Cloud Router Switch CRS109 8G 1S 2HnD IN by Jeff Hall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I love microtics. I have a bad LCD

Don't buy these if you only have experience with consumer devices like Linksys or Netgear. you will be lost If you use pfsense, adtran, cisco (rack mount), junos, you will like them for their price. We use them in the field by the hundreds. I really like the setting options. This device is ideal for home use or small businesses. I would have preferred rack mounting, but I can't justify so many ports, plus you lose the built-in hotspot. The only reason I give 4 stars is that the LCD was pressure damaged during installation. It has a white cast around the edges, making it impossible to read. Of course I was able to easily replace it, but as stock was limited I decided to replace the screen myself. (I don't recommend as you can easily damage the clips and ruin the shell that holds the LCD if you use brute force). In fact, you probably won't use the screen, if at all, except to get its original IP address.

Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
