Think twice before you buy-the product is disgusting.

As a result, friends, I hesitated, went and bought a simple Kinetic, in which everything worked right away. And wi-fi in the back room 30 M / bit shows and everything was ated automatically at once. Setup took 3 minutes with ates. I value my time and don't want to spend it studying what this developer has not completed. And this Mikrotik will go to ebay. I am attaching a picture of my device so that they don’t think what I wrote for my eyes.

Pros
  • I bought the recommended Mikrotik by everyone, the transmission range was especially advertised, the ability to configure everything that is possible. Someone in the reviews wrote that he takes even on the first floor, although they live high. I put it in an ordinary apartment of 80 m2. Then the shortcomings began.
Cons
  • For 2 months I struggled with the power of wi-fi, as in the back room the connection dropped to 1 bar. Sites were loaded somehow in waves, then generally shut up. And tuned and reconfigured. Nothing got better. From the router to the computer ~ 10 meters. I read the sites, I thought maybe it's me, but Mikrotik is the same - wow!, It's almost semi-professional equipment. The increase in power is blocked in the firmware, it is advised to change it to an unlocked one. Add other regions, ok no problem. Built-in antennas? So let's solder the normal ones. You just need to solder the capacitor with a hairdryer, but every fool can handle this, we don’t care to do it. I’m generally silent about the settings, Linux is not new to me, but I’m sorry to waste your time studying and configuring the simplest functions that work out of the box in other routers, there is no desire. The firmware is not ated, go online again, read a dozen threads and disable some option that blocks ates. I just remembered my youth when I set up Slackware according to the book.
