I made a discovery for myself that the device can be inexpensive and of such high quality. I'm starting to think about older Mikrotiks. Thanks for reading. Pros: Before buying, I thought that I would drown in the settings and fill a lot of cones before I could set everything up the way I wanted. Here I was wrong. Wrong a lot. After a short search, I found a manual where everything is spelled out. Everything was clear, convenient, accessible. I set it up via winbox on mac os so as not to lose the connection to the router in case of incorrect settings, there will always be access to the MAC address of the router, and the router is searched for on the network itself, which I really liked. The router itself is just a minimalist's dream, for those who have played enough plastic glitters with flashy inscriptions and stickers on the case, this design of the device is very close to me. Let me tell you a little about the operation of the device itself. Prior to this, the kinetics router of the first revision (firmware V1, towards ndms v2 - tomato) was the ideal of stability and an honorary dust collector (due to uninterrupted operation 24/7). In terms of connection speed, Mikrotik overtook the Internet distribution veteran. It is understandable, iron is faster. And coupled with RouterOS, it's just perfection. I easily set up the necessary services, forwarded the ports, and did not forget about the firewall. The entire home menagerie from NAS to tablets downloads gigabytes and rejoices. Probably)) I liked the presence of the sound of turning the device on and off, as in the glands of more expensive market segments (the signal is short and pleasant). And of course scalability, if you need to screw something in the future. The processor accelerates to 750mhz (I havenโt tried it yet, itโs enough). Wai-wai can be configured as you like, moreover, with the help of a router, I found an unoccupied signal band and started broadcasting on it without interfering with other inhabitants of the house, and they told me. Some cons: Untwisted brand (read - do not buy near the house). This is also a plus. There are no advertising costs and so on - a product without a price increase. A novice user who is uninitiated in network matters may experience inconvenience. What is more than offset by a developed community on the Internet, and the Quick Set tab in the settings if necessary, if you need a simple setup. No twisted pair wiring included (you have that one, don't you?)
