Type of review

Cheap router from Mikrotik. Supports RouterOS level 4. Used as a cheap access point for CapsMan technology. The memory size is so small that the full package of RouterOS does not fit into memory when upgrading. To fix this problem, you need to put on it not the full routeros metapackage, but only the necessary packages, usually these are advanced-tools, dhcp, routing, security, system, wireless.

Pros
  • Cheap
Cons
  • Memory size

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Impressed with the device. It cannot be said that many routers have passed through my hands and I am especially versed in them, but they all required periodic reboots. My last home router could not stand it, for example, when a couple of computers started downloading via torrent. Here - it stands on the closet, I don’t even remember about it, not a single hang / disconnection in a few months. And this is for a thousand and a little. Yes, there are a lot of settings - for those who like to delve

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

I took this device to distribute WiFi at home, and it coped with this task by 100%. The working conditions are not easy: a lot of reinforced concrete floors and the air is "clogged" - 10-15 neighboring networks are constantly visible. But this problem is solved by setting the transmitter power - I managed to set it to 21 dBm (~ 0.25W). The result is a reception power of 96-100% within a two-room apartment. No drops in speed, glitches and other things. All other middle-class routers that I had…

Pros
  • 1. The cost for such a device is out of competition 2. Quality, beautiful appearance 3. Compact size 4. Wide range of customization options 5. Powered by microUSB; in case of failure, the native power supply can be replaced with a microUSB phone charger. 6. Strong WiFi signal, powerful processor 7. Set and forget, plows smoothly
Cons
  • 1. The router menu is in English only. Usability is below average; a huge mass of settings that require the user to understand the basic principles of the network. One piece of advice: if you are a "teapot" and/or looking for easy ways, then this device is not for you, find something simpler for this price. 2. In the delivery set there is not even a patch cord, only a power supply unit, the router itself and a piece of paper-instruction. Obviously, it was done to make it as cheap as possible, but it's up to the buyer to decide whether it's a plus or a minus. For me, a plus.

Reliable product for all occasions, quality on par.

I bought to expand the range of the wireless network in a private house made of wood. In fact, coverage improved only in one room. It turns out that you need one in each room. Older models work much better.

All is well, liked the product, didn't buy it for nothing.

If you don’t know exactly why you need this particular router, don’t buy: you will be disappointed, swear and write an angry review. The router is good for everyone, where it climbs through the parameters. But there are two problems: 1. Flash 16mb (for everything), the firmware file will not climb there, so you will have to sew through netinstall, i. E. you won’t be able to ate remotely (there is an idea how to do this, but you need to think about it in advance). 2. Performance: ipsec will be…

Pros
  • One of the most configurable routers for the money.
Cons
  • - Small amount of flash. - Not high performance.

I took it to organize a WDS post. The router acts as a client. As a transmitting point rb951ui-2hnd. Thanks to its proprietary protocols, it gives out 80-90Mbps over the bridge without problems, although the channel width is set to only 20mhz (so as not to make the air noisy). Ordinary routers with such a width give out a maximum of 30-40Mbps. Otherwise, in a router for 1500 (at the current exchange rate of the), it’s simply ridiculous to look for any shortcomings. For this price, other…

Pros
  • 1. Extensive features of Router OS 2. Work stability 3. Simple yet concise design. small size 4. Price and again price
Cons
  • 1. Wifi range is not the best 2. Like all Router Os, the lack of Openvpn (over UDP). Promised for years 3. External antennas would help to increase the radius. 1.5 dB is still not serious.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

The device really impressed me. None of the routers I mentioned above (let me remind you - dlink, asus, zixel) did not give out such a speed over Wi-Fi (it differed upwards by 2.5 times) + the same 2.5 times the reception signal was farther (and this despite the fact that antennas are not outside). If you choose an inexpensive and functional router (VERY functional!) With a caveat - for home or small office, I recommend buying it.

Pros
  • Awesome! I have never set up a single router so easily and seamlessly! Works with half a kick! After D-link, Asus and Zyxel, it's just heaven and earth! Just a miracle machine. And this is at such a cost - I took it for only 1600 (including delivery!). Asus once cost me 2990, I took d-link for 2500, and Zyxel 2490. And each of them was buggy, then I had to reset everything and set it up again, then dd-wrt . In general, I definitely RECOMMEND! Do not look at all sorts of asus, longs, tlinks, etc. And what they write here about the complexity of the setup is nonsense. There is the very first tab "Quick Setup" - all in one window, everything is simple and clear. Further, the usual home user does not need to climb. But if you want to dig - the Internet is at your service.
Cons
  • They don't exist at all. Unless it is difficult for a beginner (but this is only if the beginner decides to use it in full)

How could such a bad product be made?

In fact, this is a switch and not a router, a stupid switch for 2k, which does not know anything. I'll start with the settings - it's a living hell and a nightmare, everyone praises routers in fact, dust in the eyes, nothing is clear, there are no such settings as signal strength and opening ports in this pseudo-router. It works terribly, it is possible to enter the web interface via LAN on average from the sixth time. You can't access it via wifi. The speed of the Internet over the wire keeps…

Pros
  • Compact
Cons
  • Everything, unreal garbage, like all products of this company.

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

A very professional device with a specific set of functions. You won't find this many features in other routers for the same price. The implementation of 8022022 suffers from a lack of adaptability, flexibility. Communication with Broadcom devices was constantly interrupted for me. For Apple computers, you must always configure a long preamble on this access point. After Ubiquiti UniFi, hAP ​​lite does not seem to be smart enough in radio communications.

Pros
  • Convenient operating system.
Cons
  • Communication interruptions due to noise. Does not reach the far corners of the apartment (160 m²).

For the first time I encountered MikroTik and was stunned by the functionality! No router stands in comparison - it's a network computer. Among the shortcomings - a weak Wi-Fi transmitter. If a standard apartment is a three-ruble note, then you need to put it in the central room, so that it would normally cover (as soon as I didn’t fine-tune the wireless network, I achieved only 60 speeds from 100 Mbps from the provider, and then in the same room with a router. For example, my old Asus covered…

Pros
  • Functional. Design. Price.
Cons
  • Weak WiFi

Pros below: I was pleased with the power supply via micro USB, everyone has a lot of chargers from the phone, it’s convenient. Wi-Fi is stable throughout the apartment. Cons below: As usual, one - requires knowledge, how to set it up, you can’t explain it to your parents over the phone.

I was looking for a router to replace the old WL500GPv2. The main and main requirement was stability, since regularly rebooting Dlink is a dubious pleasure. As a result, impressed by the price and rave reviews, I took this model for ~ 1150. and never regretted it. Of course, for an inexperienced user, even the initial setup can be difficult, but given the number of training videos on varying degrees of subtlety in setting up microtics on YouTube, there should be no problems. The main and main…

Pros
  • Stability, The ability to fine-tune
Cons
  • No cons for the money

In general, I don’t know what to sin on, it’s possible that he simply cannot work normally with my whistle, while there is no way to check with another. The experience with this device turned out to be negative. I bought it to replace Tp-link after reading a bunch of positive reviews about it. But to get it to work as it should, it did not work out. Out of the box, the speed was terrible. I flashed it to the latest firmware, tortured it for several days, played with different settings, read…

Pros
  • Reputation of the manufacturer, stuffing, good firmware in which you can configure almost everything to the smallest detail
Cons
  • So I could not make it work more or less decently, the Wi-Fi speed is very bad. The power adapter beeps ugly

Internet and Wi-Fi are set up in just three clicks. After that, you can put it on the closet and forget it. But if you want to dig and set something up for yourself, you can spend an eternity, since you can set everything up to the operation of the indicator lights on the router. It has enough performance, it holds 100 megabits via cable. ates are constantly coming out - in 4 months 4 small ones and 1 big one came out. I will continue to buy Mikrotik

Pros
  • Easy to set up basic functions Works stably No problems with coverage when standing in the center of a three-room apartment Bought for 1190
Cons
  • The EAC customs union sticker on the bottom of the router is terrible - ugly and leaves marks after trying to tear it off. Legislation so that

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

I have been fond of Mikrotiks for a long time, a wonderful thing in terms of its huge functionality at a low price. But it seems to me that this particular model was overpriced by the authors. In the same place, two routers have already burned down after a thunderstorm, now I put a different brand there, we'll see. Moreover, by its appearance, nothing was particularly affected, but the third port is constantly lit with a light bulb. At the same time, Winbox sees it, but cannot log in. The…

Pros
  • Universal ecosystem - a single set of functionality available for almost the entire line. Most things are configured in a few clicks, for the completely unusual there is a Quick Set.
Cons
  • He died for the second time in a year during a thunderstorm. Garden house, the longest cable (15 meters) connects a video camera sticking out from the outside, it looks like the wires on the cable were enough to burn

pptp, l2tp, ovpn, web-proxy, firewall, shaper. It can do everything a router should be able to do and even more. At the same time, it does not slow down and costs a penny. The first normal router that I got my hands on. By the way, the power connector is a standard micro-usb, like a smartphone. You can power it from anything, even from a power bank or a standard 5V, 1A charger. I supplement the review after 3 years of use - only positive impressions. I practically don’t remember about the…

Pros
  • Stable work. The possibilities are incredible for the price. Speed ​​does not cut - gives and takes on all the money. Everything else in this price range is poor buggy stuff.
Cons
  • For a complete beginner, it will be difficult to set up. Be sure to read the 2022-language setup instructions before buying to understand whether you can master it or not. Also, in my opinion - weak wifi. However, if you do not have five-room mansions, you will have enough.
