Review on MikroTik Routerboard RB2011 UiAS-2HnD-IN with SFP Port and 10 Ethernet Ports by Kenta Ikeda ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality, not a great product.

Many people write about complex settings - when buying, I was ready to raise the old knowledge of routing, but I didn’t have to. The setup is very simple, at least basic - Wi-Fi, DHCP server with static lease for some machines, etc. You need to understand a little about the operation of network equipment, but you do not need to be a network engineer of a hundredth level. The only thing that complicates the setup is a huge number of menu items and parameters, but this is also nothing terrible or difficult. It is configured both through the Web UI and through Winbox (natively only under Windows, but it easily starts and works through wine on Linux and even macos). Speed ​​measurements via iperf3 (client - iPhone X via Wi-Fi, server - computer with macOS 102022 connected via gigabit ethernet) give 75 Mbps on average. Between two computers on a gigabit port (macOS 102022 and Ubuntu 18.04, iperf) about 980 Mbps on average. . A few months later, without declaring war, he went into reboot and did not come out of it - a white screen and that's it. Took it in for service, we'll see what they say.

Pros
  • Professional piece of iron at the price of a good home router. Incredibly flexible customization. Until now, it regularly receives OS ates - an ate with Amazon over HTTPS has recently arrived, which cannot but rejoice. Pretty simple setup for "basic" things. Very nimble, despite the relatively weak iron — the speed is not lost. Lots of Ethernet ports - this is important for me, because. there are a lot of computers connected via cable, and you don’t want to use switches anymore. The metal case is very well made, unlike "home" routers. Looks very stylish.
Cons
  • The piece of iron is old, so Wi-Fi is only 2.4 GHz. But here it’s like someone, for me it’s not a minus, but rather a plus - 2.4 beats further, I get a confident reception in the yard (private house). Once it refused to boot until I pulled out all the wires, including the power supply (I didn’t react to reset either, neither by pressing nor by holding). It was not possible to start it with the YOTA modem. There is a live interface, but there is no routing to any.

Stands at work, about 25 users - never hung up. The previous ones were switched off constantly, once a week - for sure. I ordered the tuning through the Internet in Belarus, the local one is very expensive.
