I knew what I was buying, I needed 5GHz wi-fi and I got it. The setup is really simple, but that's only because I was ready for it. At the first start, 2 default networks are raised at 2.4 and 5 GHz, networks without a password, the admin account is also without a password. All the main settings are placed on one page and there is no need to run through the tabs. Everything is clear, fast and convenient.

when you first turned it on, it did not react to the connection either by cable or by wi-fi, it helped to roll the firmware through Netinstall

I needed a simple microtic (to be able to have several seeds, networks, set up tricky VPNs, port forwarding, watchdogs, etc.), preferably with an AC, for giving. no options at all. a weak radio path does not bother me - the house is wooden. but the functionality of RouterOS is why they take mikrotiks. two Wi-Fi networks (separately for IoT, separately for people), the ability to connect the house and the cottage into a single network. and much more. but if you just need a router "so that…

Before that, I was the owner of routers: D-link DIR-615, Zyxel Keenetic (different models), which infuriated me every day, from freezing with a large number of connections, Wi-Fi falling off every hour. I was already desperate to look for a normal router for the house and thought to boil CISCO for 20k, but then I found out about this miracle box from Mikrotik.

I use and install for my clients. A huge number of settings. Reliability is at its best, it works according to the set-and-forget principle, if the microt freezes, then either someone screwed a self-tapping screw into it or it was simply burned in a fire. With its pros. A professional-level router for the money as for a home balalaika. Excellent WiFi module. Huge number of settings and configuration options. And the main thing is that this equipment is from a series - set it up and forget it…

in general, despite the future, I will not contact this manufacturer anymore solely because of the quality of the equipment and fragility Its pros: I took it to experiment with the second range, I knew what I was going for, I was not afraid of difficulties, and in relation to the flexibility of settings I did not disappoint, the problem is in the quality of the device at first it worked well, there were problems with Wi-Fi for one device, it fell off all the time, then it was fixed Has cons…

When I picked it up, at first I was scared because of its size, now I’ll explain: it’s a little larger than a bank card and I was worried that the antennas in such a case would be very weak and the wifi network coverage would be worse than similar routers (when compared with asus , zyxel, tp-link), but I was wrong, he easily surpassed them all. Very smart, any Internet with such a router "comes to life". IPTV on it works smartly, in general IMHO the best option among home / office routers and…

The router left conflicting sensations. On the one hand, it gives the impression of a quality thing, but on the other hand, something is still not right. The first thing that pissed me off was the lack of even a tiny cord for connecting to a PC. I brought it to my village, opened it, and then I realized that I couldn’t set it up. The settings are not reset, I can’t connect to Wi-Fi, there is no cord, we’ve arrived. Even in the cheapest routers, a cord is always included in the kit, but here…

All in all, a great box with some minor cons. And inexpensive. Pros: Stable working, small PoE powered box. The task of deploying network access in a small office or a small apartment is easily solved. Low price. Wide range of configuration options. Cons below: The ports are only 100 Mbps, there is no MIMO at 5GHz, and if something is not in the firmware, then it is not there - like, for example, SHA256 for OpenVPN. Here is your SHA1 and be happy! Coverage at 5GHz is rather weak, it can’t cope…

With its pros. It can be configured to a provider that has a direct IP, where there are no passwords or logins. You really need to dig deeper into the network to be able to set it up. The device is professional, or close to it. Got cons: In reality, it does not penetrate the signal through the wall, in fact, it was bought for this, but the signal turned out to be very weak. Inexplicably. Maybe the hands do not grow from there and it was possible to somehow set it up, but I could not set it up i

Great router for home/small office. RouterOS allows you to do almost everything (there are some minor limitations like the lack of UDP mode in OpenVPN) Setup will not be easy for a person far from networks (but everything is possible, not rocket science) Very stable router, set it up and forget it. For encrypted VPNs, it is better to take something more powerful, like RB750Gr3 (but it does not have WiFi)

I took this minibus to set up a reliable and stable home network from a smart TV set powered by 5GHz Internet over the air, 2 laptops, 2 smart phones, 2 printers and a tablet. Turning on the router and going into the web face, I began to understand what winbox is and why it is needed. Setting up from a web muzzle is that fun with a constant login. Even being an experienced user is not far from the network, settings, etc. stunned and felt like a helpless child. Giant functionality is good, but…

In vain they are frightening here about the "router for professionals", it works in standard settings without problems, the main thing is not to be afraid of the abundance of these settings and not to press anything extra. The main thing for which I bought it in the office is the distribution of stable Internet. Performs it 100%. Someone, somewhere wrote that phones fall off WiFi, this is true, all three of my Chinese ultra-budget smartphones regularly fall off from it, but they also fall off…

Corresponds to the characteristics, works like a clock. For an office of 15-20 people with a channel width of 100, VPN is enough. The speed of the provider does not cut, even taking into account the encryption of the channel - there is enough power for processing. RouterOS - whoever needs it knows why =) : I don't understand people who downvote a product because they don't know how to use it or because they don't know how to read the description/characteristics. Ska, "the router is bad, because

Almost returned it back to the store, because. the device worked, but periodically it was unpredictably buggy (I just needed an access point, without routing and NAT, I changed the settings accordingly). However, I followed the recommendations on how to insist Mikrotik from scratch, noticed that IP is assigned to the internal router, and after transferring IP from the first port (where it was by default) to the internal router, the device stopped failing (yet?) completely. So I really don't…

There is already a fleet of microts (RB450G, hAP), so a fan of ROs. I took a used one to replace the 450th for a penny in order to get rid of a separate bundle of the main 450th and a separate AC router for the operation of wireless devices. did not take off. It turned out to be a burnt USB path along the data line, and in the processor. Unsoldered the power supply and the decoupling of the data bus from the board - it took off. I raised the VPN server as usual, changed the firewall settings…

I considered the option of buying a device from Mikrotik for a long time, but I was afraid of terrible tales about the complexity of the system and the requirements for the professionalism of these devices. The stars were aligned so that I had the opportunity to get an MTCNA certification and take the corresponding course. Well, if so, I finally made up my mind. The win was on all fronts. - Price-quality-performance. - Ease of execution of the device eliminates glitches and lags in the…

The flapping looks like this in the logs: ether4 link down ether4 link up ether4 link down ether4 link up I read information about this on the net, a lot of microtik equipment sins with this problem, I did not find a solution. I do not recommend taking it, apparently Mikrotik is not going to solve this problem. Pros below: A lot of settings, the very thing is studying networks. Small. Has cons: Under loads (it cannot be said that they are large), it starts to flap (the connection is…

It should be understood that this is not DIR-300, and not TP-Link, its configuration is not trivial. Of course, there is a Quick Set that allows you to set it up even for a complete "teapot", but it will not always work. If the connection is via static IP or PPPoE - Quick Set will help. If some L2TP (hello to Beeline) - no longer. And any step "right-left" from a quick set already requires an understanding of the principles of networking, routing, etc. In addition, my opinion (as an IT…

Nifiga did not work out of the box . the help of a specialist was required, who apparently already knew about such tricks. If it were not for technical support, I would study the forums for a day and take him back to hell, because I'm not a geek and I'm not going to be. With its pros. Really small, you can hide - you will not find. This is necessary, because it does not shine with beauty and design. Different cons: How do they write about him "From geeks for geeks"))) This device is not for the
