The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

In general, a functional piece of iron with great features for little money. On a well-known ad site you can find 2 times cheaper. Although I don’t like Mikrotik because of the intricacies of the settings (for example, VLAN), it’s very difficult to find something similar in terms of functionality, price and reliability.
Even if you can’t set it up, very detailed documentation on the manufacturer’s website  and a bunch of examples on the Internet, it’s better to check the examples with the documentation, because. There may be changes in newer firmware versions.

Pros

Very compact router. Fully supports PoE, quite a powerful transmitter. Powerful processor inside. Convenient magnetic mount. When using the Powerline MikroTik PWR-Line adapter, you can build a network through household 220 from several access points and cover the entire house or apartment if one point is not enough. With the help of CAPsMAN we provide roaming between points. It turns out a wireless network with a large coverage and distribution of clients between points. RouterOS allows you to do quite a lot, but you need to know and understand what you are doing.

Cons

What I write next refers to the OS, not the device. For most people, this is a very difficult setup. If you are not ready to delve into the wilds of settings, either do not buy this home, or find someone who can easily set it up. VLAN settings in Mikrotik deserve special mention. Why did it have to be so complicated?
