Review on πŸ”Œ Mikrotik RB941-2nD-TC hAP Lite: Compact Powerful Router with 2.4Ghz Wireless Connectivity and 4 Ethernet Ports by Alex Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Swapped a $35 Pi for a $25 Mikrotik to do the same job.

I have to say I'm a big Mikrotik fan. I've used dozens of them at work and at home. I currently rely on my cell phone hotspot to provide internet access to my home network of Cisco and Mikrotik devices. I used a Raspberry Pi as an 802.11 station and then used NAT and routed traffic to the Pi for the rest of my network. It was a bit inconvenient and required maintenance and upkeep like when I switch hotspot between phones or even another mifi network device. So I ordered this to replace this Pi. For $10 less, I get a feature-rich, high-quality networking device that integrates well with the rest of my network. I was able to set up very simple scripts that I just run to switch between the different hotspot devices that I use regularly. I would like the MIkrotik low end to support the 5GHz band. This is my biggest complaint about it, but I could have spent a few bucks more to get a more powerful dual-band model.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Hard to say
