Review on 🌐 Mikrotik CCR1036-8G-2S+ Cloud Core Router - 36-Core CPU, 8x Gigabit Ports, 2x SFP+ Ports, Color Touchscreen LCD, 4GB RAM by Craig Lovro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I don't think we've even begun to touch what this car is capable of.

This single device serves as the main router for our office, shop, home and manages traffic shaping and routing for our little WISP. We have some gigabit fiber lines from a local telecom company and we haven't had any bottlenecks with that guy yet. We have VPN connections between about 8 offices running at about gigabit speeds over WAN, we run The Dude's network monitoring server on this computer, and we have failover via a USB connected cellular modem. We use both 10Gb/s SFP+ ports to connect some of our busier servers. I don't think we've even begun to touch what this car is capable of. CPU usage is always expressed in single-digit numbers. The only thing I would be happy to see is a model in this price range with 4-6 SFP+ ports and a dual power supply.

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • No Instructions
