I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

The result is if it was advised to you and you don’t have any friends who understand network technologies at least a little, or you bought it because "someone has it!" then you are mistaken, even if there are a lot of examples on the network how to set it up, but without knowledge of networks it will be difficult for you, buy a regular home router and don’t suffer, you can hardly intuitively do an elementary port forwarding of the program! My verdict is excellent hardware for those who understand networks or who want to learn something new, for those who just want to surf the net and talk on Skype plus torrents, this is not your choice and you don’t need to swear at the manufacturer REMEMBER THIS DEVICE WORKS ON THE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM , they are great that such a joke costs much less than the same Cisco or other network equipment /

Pros

Let's start with the fact that this piece of iron has many different advantages, starting with the division of Lan ports into groups, VLANs, you can at least cram providers into all ports (there are 5 of them). The performance of iron for such a box is enough, there are shapers and so on ( its power suits me quite well!) its POE connector! There is the same HotSpot, a bunch of VPN channels (you can install whatever you want!) There is a USB port (This is not for file cleaning or DLNA), it is for USB modems, maybe for printers (I didn’t check it myself, I don’t know!) There is a self-test function if the device is frozen then it will restart itself and there is no need to unplug and curse the provider (you can ping anything and after as much time as you like, plus sending activity reports to a remote mailbox, convenient for system administrators!) By default, the firewall policy is "Everything is allowed". Large selection of network settings and Wifi networks!

Cons

It's time to switch to a WiFi module with a 5GHz band! Difficult for beginners! Lan port indicators cannot blink as actively as the User-Led indicator (this is not very convenient for me)
