I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

The best thing I held in my hands, one of my Mikrotik routers worked for more than 3 years without shutdowns, while the settings were constantly changed on it. It still works, but due to ~300 rules in the firewall it doesn't have enough resources. If you want a stable router for your home that needs to be set up and forgotten once, this is your choice. If you need a router for a working network, take it without thinking! If you want to learn how networks work in practice, this is ideal! I took…

Pros
  • WiFi range, network speed, stability, full-fledged routerOS, price, quick setup section, very very fine tuning (the case when the network functionality is determined not by the router, but by the knowledge of the administrator), the ability to change settings without restarting the router, graphs with statistics, VPN, proxy, 6to4, high-quality support for ipv6, functionality is not limited to software, everything depends only on the resources of the router (the switch for $ 2k has almost identical functionality), it heats up moderately, although it is always under load, honest and stable 100Mbps, tons of settings
Cons
  • I would like to have the ability to forward ports in the quick setup, as is implemented in all ordinary routers, because for an uninformed person it is difficult to do this without reading guides on the Internet. I also didn’t like the fact that the router can draw graphs, can send statistics to the server, but it doesn’t know how to simply keep daily traffic statistics, although maybe I just didn’t find it The router is hackable, a good hacker closed dangerous ports and left his details. I accidentally set a password for the settings in 2022 - I had to reset it to the standard ones, because I said that the password was not correct

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

I bought it and left it without setting it to the river. And in the middle of the river I find out from the instructions that I need to submit an Internet to 1 entrance, and I have an Internet kakbe whistle 4g. he reconnected every 10 seconds, in the end he decided to sew - it was also not detected, he sat for a couple of hours just rebooting and resetting it - at one moment it was decided and I immediately flashed it (although it was possible not to sew, it so began to be determined by…

Pros
  • packaging, without antennas, powerful power supply unit - cold
Cons
  • buggy at the first setting, and with each setting you have to fight until you climb into the settings - no problem

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

A good router in conjunction with digital remotes: it does not lose signal even in conditions of a large number of people, despite the absence of external antennas. Standardly compared with the same Apple router, which, unfortunately, is no longer sold and does not support 5.4 GHz communication

Pros
  • Excellent router: behaves well in large crowds, does not lose signal, quite convenient interface in the built-in RouterOS
Cons
  • Problems with setting up remote access. It was not possible to configure remote access on the embedded RouterOS despite the forums.

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

If you don't want to mess around with advanced settings, do 2 things: 1) connect to the router and set a password for the wifi connection (there is no password by default). 2) set a password for the admin account of the router. Enjoy! PS: If you find a video about setting up a router on YouTube, you can set it up in 2-3 hours and use the maximum of what this device can give.

Pros
  • Excellent router. Works out of the box with default settings. Yes, there is a super-cool setting for IT geniuses, but the standard connection is enough.
Cons
  • Didn't notice.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

I use Mikrotik equipment at home and in the country, it is very reliable. Once set up and forgotten. The best in terms of price / quality ratio Some pros: I have been using Mikrotik for a long time, I forgot to set it up once. Its cons: It is difficult to set up for the first time, but if not the first device, then everything is simple and clear

This is a very good tool for people who understand what they need and want to get the most opportunities for reasonable money. Has some pros: - 5Hz WiFi at a very reasonable price and with excellent quality - Very advanced interface for customization - Frequent firmware ates high security from here Cons below: - 100m/s ports - Interface designed for advanced users and professionals

It is impossible to use, a bad product.

Cuts WiFi, out of 100Mb gives out a maximum of 40 Mb via WiFi. No firmware, no reset, no channel change - nothing helps. After reading the forums, I found out that I'm not the only one with such problems. And it's unsolvable. The cheaper TP-Link has no such problems. If you decide to buy - check immediately.

Best price for this product, will buy more!

Before that, there was a TP-LINK WR1043ND, wi-fi periodically disappeared, it was hardly enough for an apartment, with three large antennas. Mikrotik is smaller, has no external antennas, coverage is good and stable. Pros below: 1. small, powerful (easily covers a 3-room apartment); 2. price; 3. work stability; 4. two bands 2.4 and 5 GHz; 5. guest channel; 6. a lot of settings for an experienced user for distributing the Internet in the office, apartment. Has some cons: The settings are…

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I have been familiar with mikrotik for a long time at work, even for the networks of an "average" provider it is a very good budget solution, in terms of fault tolerance it is somewhat reminiscent of a cisco . Different pros: 1. Of course routerOS! Who is in the subject, he will understand! 2. When properly configured, it freely routes more than 100Mbps Very powerful and high-quality radio modules, despite the fact that the antennas are internal, covering 70 sq. M is not a problem for him, I’ll

I was very impressed with Mikrotik. we are studying its capabilities further, I hope the firmware in the future will allow us to share what I indicated in the shortcomings Has some pros: Compared to other devices in this price category - the best router Has some cons: I didn’t find how to take the Internet from another access point and distribute it via wifi at the same frequency (everywhere only the wds method from another microtic is described). zyxel can. a month later, a firmware was…

Unsatisfactory, upset with this product.

Pros: Dual band router. At 2.4 GHz, a large coverage area, the connection keeps stable, does not lag. At 5GHz - generally fly away. Compared to previous models, WiFi speed has increased by 30 percent. With its cons: In setting up, the router is a little more complicated than the Boeing. Ideal for advanced IT people and sysadmins. Contraindicated for ordinary users.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

Has some pros: An excellent router from a trusted manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. Never glitched. Very powerful customization abilities. Has some cons: Unfortunately this model is only 100Mb. Therefore, if you have a really fast Internet, then take hap ac ^ 2 (squared). As a result, I bought it for myself, because. spent 500MB of internet.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

When a thunderstorm came to my ASUS RT-N66U, taking out the USB ports, and I went for this crumb, I didn’t read the description of the model . It was my first Mikrotik . And behind the tiny body is just a monster. This is the first router for which I deactivated some of the functionality (System → Packages). Inside is a MIPS 650 MHz processor that can be driven up to 750 MHz or slowed down to 550 MHz . 64MB of RAM . Well, just a full range of settings inside and out. Configure automatic…

Pros
  • - RouterOS - you can configure everything, even what you had no idea about; - Long-range for built-in WiFi antennas; - Correct USB port - quietly pulls Huawei e3372h on a 5-meter extension cord; - Compactness that allows you to place it outside the door; - Excellent price/functionality ratio.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Result: incoming SMS are sent to e-mail, if the cellular connection is interrupted, the modem restarts, followed by a connection check. Firewall in DROP ALL mode))) A very suitable piece of iron, then I plan to take only microtes for home and work, I really liked working with this equipment. With its pros: 1) For supporting most 3/4 G modems ~ 3000 - this is a budget option 2) Amazing stability 3) Wide range of supply voltage 10-30 volts 4) PoE input port 1 and output port 5 5) Very extensive…

Good product, more pros than cons.

Covers 99% of the needs of home users and 90%+ of the needs of a small network organization. Theoretically, those shortcomings that I found can be circumvented using the metarouter functionality, but personally, my hands have not yet reached this point. To understand what is implemented - Internet access through the provider's PPTP. Parental access control by time, white list of sites that are available at any time, regardless of parental control, igmp proxy, which of course is inferior to…

Pros
  • Semi-professional equipment. Flexible ability to configure the firewall, for the sake of this opportunity I bought it. Very "long-range" WIFI.
Cons
  • I have found the following shortcomings so far: - it is impossible to properly organize udp proxy - lack of regular torrent client. - support only its file system on USB drives.

Average quality, not an outstanding product.

The router is good, an interesting solution to power POE on port 1 and distribute POE on port 5, combined ports 1 and 5 into a bridge and made 1 with 5 switches, and 1-4 as a router and Wi-Fi. It works in conjunction with CAPsMan, everything is fine, but the most stupid decision was to make Wi-Fi 5 A / C not MIMO and 100 megabit ports, complete nonsense, there are no questions about the 2 GHz band, it suits perfectly for seamless roaming, especially since you can wind up power 28 dbm. I have…

Pros
  • Flexibility of settings, Wi-Fi signal quality, all kinds of settings
Cons
  • 100 megabit ports

A good product, more pros than cons.

Before making a purchase, you should consider the benefits and drawbacks, paying particular attention to the scope. In order to provide a situation in which everyone benefits: Support for LTE whistles that is low-cost, angry, and simple. The 100 megabit ports are the feature that stands out the most. That is to say, the speed of everything will still depend on the speed of the wired ports, even if the link has a minimum of 150. It is acceptable if this is the only device, and you need to…

Pros
  • The device is functional and has RouterOS, a large number of configuration options, and compatibility for USB modems. PoE, but this is a debatable benefit given that it is only compatible with PoE acquired from other Mikrotiks.
Cons
  • In point of fact, the deficiencies are laid out in great detail in the technical specifications.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

Has pros: Good processor power combined with firmware that provides almost any functionality, the ability to configure from a web page. Reliability. Has some cons Wi-Fi frequency 2.4 GHz, no external antennas -> poor coverage. Difficult setup for a beginner in WinBox

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Concerning the setup, there is a wealth of material available on the internet; but, without prior knowledge, it is not impossible to mistakenly configure the firewall using this information. It is recommended that, as soon as it is turned on, some ports be closed and that access to the administrative panel of the router be restricted from the outside, with the exception of the local network. These are some advantages: Stability Linked to Wires Obtainability of Power over Ethernet input You are…
