I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

Of the five tested firmware, I chose one with the best of the five indicators - the spread of real wifi speed in iperf turned out to be from 90 megabits to 350 megabits / s. Despite the set maximum transmitter power, the coverage area turned out to be no better than on a Chinese router from ali-express. Under the same test conditions, the real wifi speed of ASUS AC68U is 540 Mbit/s. At the corporate forum, the moderator did not miss this message!

Pros

A full-fledged RouterOs is a very flexible tool in customization. Good design. POE has indeed proved to be a handy feature given that the ports continue to operate at full speed. Nice technical solution. Doesn't heat up. I haven't seen more than 6% CPU usage. On version 7 of RouterOS, a dynamic change in the processor frequency appeared depending on the load.

Cons

Very raw firmware. Bad antennas, especially on 5GHz.

Some pros: The device from the series turned on, configured, forgot. Cons: "Convenience" R. OS is already a parable in tongues. It is inconvenient to connect patch cords.
