Type of review

The installation of the router took no more than 5 minutes with the settings. Set up immediately via WiFi. Great interface. You can see all the settings right on the main screen. Understanding won't be a problem. There is a graph showing the signal of each connected device (power). This is all in the simplest "Quick Set" mode, but this is just the tip of the iceberg, you can work directly in the "Terminal" or in the friendly "WebFig" interface. I am very glad that I chose this company…

Pros
  • Ability to work in dual-channel mode 2Ghz, 5Ghz. Huge suitcase of settings. Easy to set up if you only need internet and wifi. Great interface.
Cons
  • Haven't found it yet, since I've been using it for the first day.

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

Not a review, but a first impression. So, the first serious piece of iron in my house. Before that, tlinks, provider routers, etc. I bought it for 2 reasons: I wanted to experiment with a bunch of settings and real stability. I realized that it is possible to overpay a thousand for this (and similar routers from other companies are about a thousand and cheaper) - I did not regret it. I hope the vaunted reliability of Mikrotiks is not a myth)

Pros
  • Just a huge number of settings - you can configure everything that can be configured in your home router) Beautiful. Strict, stylish, not ashamed to put in a prominent place. Tower or horizontal box - put it how you want. Beats fine. There is enough for a three-ruble note in the socket, but back to back. Three days of testing behaves normally, without failures - in general. Ping in different applications decreased by 3-5ms (a trifle, but nice). Configuration options: WinBox utility, console, web interface (essentially a copy of Winbox). Ports 8-pin, shielded. There was no way to check the real speed over the air, but at 5GHz it calmly gives out the 90 Mbit / s declared at the rate (from the built-in antennas, I did not understand anything). There is a belief that firmware on it will be released for a long time. Loads fast.
Cons
  • I decided to set up something more than Quick Setup gives - be ready to master the skills of setting up telecom equipment at the level of at least an amateur. Even simple things are implemented quite complicated and not always logical. The console interface is less convenient than the same Cisco IOS (but at least it is, unlike the banal Linux console with vim in OpenWRT). IGMP Proxy did not start - I had to do IPTV through a bridge. Antennas are internal only. All ports are tied to one switch. The variant of the router with gigabit ports costs twice as much.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

In general, I am very satisfied, I don’t even want to look at othercompanies, I became a fan of Mikrotik))) I even wrote an article in the group Has pros: no need to reboot, there is a firewall. there is an error log, you can make a seamless wi-fi network. Lots of extra settings. Has some cons: For complex tasks, you will have to look for information or call a specialist

an excellent home segment for those specialists or a remote workplace with rich functionality and a set of different tools Has some pros: This is a Mikrotik and soho segment - this is its segment and it is a leader in the matter of professional Cons: Well, again, mikrotik is not tyk-tyk-tyk, here you need to know what and where + a specific interface, but the engineer is not a problem

I can't say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

If you plan to use a USB modem, then I advise everyone to consider other models, and not reinvent the wheel like me. MIROTIK, think about it. On older versions with a USB port, this is not observed, from the word COMPLETELY. With its pros: This is a Mikrotik (flexible, customizable), BUT not without flaws . ((( Different cons: And here Mikrotik decided to save on powering the USB port, namely: when a USB modem is connected, it falls off when the load on the modem increases (if only ping, then…

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

If you need reliable and high-quality communication without glitches, jambs and misunderstandings for a long time, then MikroTik equipment is a very worthy choice. Different pros: WiFi network of two bands 2 and 5 GHz. There is already a pre-configured standard configuration. The easiest way to set up is to use the winbox64 program downloaded from MikroTik. Com. The equipment of this brand is famous for the highest reliability and a wealth of customization options. Constant firmware ates by the

I took to replace the linksys WRT160NL - a single-band 2.4 GHz, which worked for 10 years. In the end, they were completely exhausted - they cut the speed to 2Mbps and hung constantly - I had to reboot 5 times. After him, Mikrotik, of course, is just space.

Pros
  • Easy to set up - enough preset settings for stable operation. It is only necessary, of course, to set passwords. At 5GHz on Apple devices, the speed almost does not cut - with incoming 30 Mbps it gives out 26-28 Mbps. At 2.4 GHz in a laptop it cuts somewhere in half. Compact and nice design. Haven't rebooted in 6 months
Cons
  • Weak transmitter. The router is in the corridor, and in the kitchen around the corner of the concrete network, the signal is already unstable and the Internet periodically disappears. There is no separate power off button (On linksys, for example, there is a switch on the cord)

Perfect product for any user!

It's a pity PoE passive is only supported. Do not support: First generation PoE (IEEE 802.3af standard) Second generation IEEE 802.3at standard This shortcoming can becomrrected by Injector POE Osnovo Midspan-1/151 Please note that the letter "A" is not at the end in the model (OSNOVO Midspan-1/151A). I personally did not like that in the instructions for "A" the manufacturer has the right to change the PoE standard. ? cpa=1&nid=54554

Pros
  • Optimal price / quality

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

I really turned on a good model and forgot it. The quick setup menu was extremely pleased . otherwise I remember being intimidated by the complexity of setting it up, but to be honest, the menu in English just kills. then the extra one got access to my network, but alas, he didn’t understand exactly where this information is located. It will probably be easier to change the password. )

Pros
  • 1. Turned on and forgot about it. 2. Compact. 3.5GHz.
Cons
  • 1. The menu is completely in English 2. Menu - there is a lot of information and it is in English. ) 3. Weak wifi at 2GHz, a wall made of 18X18 timber cuts it by two or three meters.

Despite the huge number of settings, set up quickly and without problems. But the very concept of an admin panel with the ability to change almost all hardware and software options seems redundant. Well, or the developers should make a simplified version only with the main ones - climbing every few months, you simply forget what, where and how. After Ubiquiti, the interface seems primitive: very strange ergonomic solutions that you still have to get used to, and colorful icons like Fam Fam…

Pros
  • Very compact, nice design, universal stand, with which you can both put and lead. There is 5GHz. A lot of settings for Monsieur, who know a lot.
Cons
  • The power is slightly lower than what I needed - for a couple of corners inside the apartment, the signal noticeably weakens (maybe they shield the metal corners, but other routers were not so noticeable in the same conditions). The interface is poor.

The quality is fine, it's fine to use.

bought this day . * was seduced * by /reviews/ . WHY DO I NEED AN EXTRA AND UNNECESSARY GEMMORUS with connection and settings ? . until now I use KENETIC with 2.4 frequency . I decided to increase the speed of Wi-Fi . I'm looking for information on Mikrotik (with the help of KENETIC). (((((((((( (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Kick*s

Cons
  • there is no instruction . SIMPLY IT IS NOT AT ALL . there is no CABLE for connecting to a PC . IT IS SIMPLY NOT AT ALL .

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Pros: * easy to set up - the first launch and setup took no more than 2-3 minutes: connected, turned off, configured WAN, entered WIFI network names and passwords, saved - everything is ready, wifi networks at 2.4, 5 and the guest one are already up and running. * network quality is on top - 95 comes from the provider, the same 95 via LAN on the client, the same 94-95Mbps via WiFi (5) * compact size and beautiful body (without a bunch of terrible antenna pins in all directions) * a bunch of set

Best price for this product, will buy more!

For the money, probably the top in terms of functionality and reliability. But Mikrotik is only a conscious choice of those who really had / have experience with them. It is necessary to clearly understand why this piece of iron is needed and what is planned to be done on Router OS. Otherwise, pass by in the direction of popular home routers (the same Zyxel is quite reliable). You definitely shouldn’t believe about the simplicity of the settings in many reviews if you don’t want to suffer and…

Pros
  • A very powerful piece of hardware due to Router OS. Years of proven reliability.
Cons
  • Difficult to set up, especially for ordinary users who do not have an idea about the settings of network equipment at a detailed level.

Could not reset to default settings for a long time. It turned out that it was necessary to hold down the reset button, insert the power and after 5 seconds. (when the router blinks right next to the pressed button) release. With its pros: - a huge number of different settings, you can "finely" configure the routing; - miniature, in comparison with DIR-615; Different cons: - perhaps not a long-range connection and sometimes unstable . although the Rostelecom provider may also be "buggy"…

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

It is completely similar to hAP AC lite, only the case differs. The younger model of the hAP AC series differs from its older brother in the absence of an SFP module and gigabit ports, but more than compensates for them with a minimal price. Complete freedom of customization - RouterOS is the same for all manufactured Mikrotik models, if you want even more settings - you can purchase a higher license, although there are more than enough of them for home use, and for medium offices you can…

Pros
  • Price-functionality ratio. Hardware stuffing (availability of USB, amount of RAM and flash, processor). The functionality of the standard firmware.
Cons
  • In comparison with competitors, the firmware goes far ahead, losing only openWRT in terms of functionality. Perhaps that's all.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

A high-quality router for little money to set up IPTV without wires. The network was made at 5 GHz, there were no problems with signal strength or speed. Setting up a router is not difficult if you know what you are doing. Without a certain setup skill, it will be quite difficult for a simple user to get it out of the box. I am glad that new firmware is constantly being released.

Pros
  • Powerful transmitter, price/quality ratio, work stability, manufacturer's support.
Cons
  • No gigabit ports

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

ADDITIONAL SETTINGS! But seriously, as a very experienced PC user and an IT specialist by education, I spent the whole day figuring out how everything is configured there, and if it weren’t for the googled guides, then I would have done what I did myself. This router just humiliates you and your ego. HE is the smartest creature in my apartment. Small, stylish and fast. Works very well, distributes two Wi-Fi networks: one fast, the other slow. So far, there have been no comments on the work. I…
