I have been using this device for a year now, from maintenance - only installing ates, sometimes I wipe the dust. The device, in my opinion, falls into the "set it and forget it" category. Works like a home wi-fi router, turned on around the clock, no glitches noticed. Of the inconveniences - you must first study the documentation. In its price segment, the device clearly outperforms its competitors both in terms of features and hardware. On the official mikrotik website there is a demo version of RouterOS, you can climb to see the possibilities.
