Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

Logical and user-friendly menu system. If you have experience in setting up routers, then you can simply configure it for work without much difficulty. But to set up more complex things, you will need to delve into and read articles like "MikroTik - how to set up .". An interesting thing. I hope it will live a long time, and not like the Netgear 3500 v1, which it was taken to replace, or ASUS RT-N16, which died within a week after the end of the 2-year warranty period. . 01/26/2022, WiFi in a…

Pros
  • Very small. 3-4 times smaller than a regular router, it's not clear from the picture. Powerful WiFi, many settings.
Cons
  • "Soviet" plastic. There is nothing wrong with this, but it looks unusual compared to modern plastics. It caught my eye.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

For the typical home user, Microtik devices will be difficult to set up because they require a basic understanding of network design. However, those who manage to overcome laziness in themselves by setting it up once will be able to forget about the router. My first impression, after installation, was the feeling that the Internet had not worked before. Three years of continuous work - no complaints. A 100Mbit channel loads easily at 100% (tested by peer-to-peer networks, not a stupid…

Pros
  • Low price with the highest reliability and excellent quality. - An abundance of functionality that is not available in conventional routers. - Excellent performance. -PoE. - Convenient ate.
Cons
  • Wi-Fi does not support 5GHz band.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

before he used Asus a year later the firmware started to fail, before him there was a tp link worked even less after he decided to buy a mikrotik, the masters from the Internet company advised him, he took it installed, it has been working stably for a couple of months, when there are network failures, it does not hang, it stabilizes itself and then it works . In general, I did not regret that I bought it, indeed, compared to him, the rest are all toys)))

Pros
  • works stable and reliable.
Cons
  • for me they are not, though it is difficult to set up.

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

The total speed on the port to my computer, which I have so far managed to get about 200 Mbps, but as I said above, the HDD could no longer. I will buy an SSD drive, I will test gigabit, I will add it to the review. I think the numbers speak for themselves. Before Mikrotik, there was a D-Link DIR-320NRU (Internet speed did not exceed 500-800 kb / s, i. E. 4-6 Mbps), Linksys EA2700-EE, Linksys EA4200-EE, Linksys EA4500-EE - the result is approximately the same. Moreover, the prices for the…

Pros
  • One-time: 7-8 MB / s torrent download (speed is limited by the provider's tariff of 60 Mbps) + 15-17 MB / s local download (could be more, I ran into HDD speed) + watching a video in HD quality + well very fast surf. At the same time, there is a good supply. Menu items are located much more logically than on many devices of the same class. Setting up is not difficult if you know how to read and understand mana, which is enough for this device on the network. I was pleased with the auto-ate of firmware modules. To do this, in the admin panel there is a button "Do it well" and, oddly enough, it works. So many features in one "bottle" that just run your eyes. Even BGP is available, though I don’t have the opportunity to test the performance.
Cons

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

Houses 4 computers + beech + box + phones-tablets. I set up a dynamic queue - now no one can hang up the Internet with a torrent or stim and the box does not wedge in YouTube. For Kinders, I caught a poppy address, made a binding to IP (if the address changes, then there will be no Internet), started a simple queue for each, wrote scripts in the scheduler that change the speed and status of these queues. Now the Kinders have the Internet on schedule (a couple of hours without restrictions, a…

Pros
  • Router, took the cheapest for 1700.
Cons
  • For the house there would be more ports; Doesn't hang on the wall - I had to make a shelf for mounting.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

I bought it back in the summer of the 13th and to this day the model is relevant and optimal for many cases. I must say, I don’t really understand why everyone complains about the complexity of the setup - Quick Set was in ROS even before the release of this piece of iron and everything is there for simple Internet setup, just knowing English is enough to understand what is hidden under that menu item -_-. In general, by the nature of its activity, the piece of iron is irreplaceable - vpn…

Pros
  • Wide functionality (802.1Q, a bunch of vpn tunnels, traffic shaping, pbr, a bunch of network monitoring tools, mpls, bgp, ospf and a bunch of everything else), powerful wifi, enough power to pump 100Mbps torrents, stability without overclocking at altitude, reasonable price .
Cons
  • Insufficient power for traffic shaping (produces something like 60Mbps via torrents with 12 QOS rules and packet mangling), lack of hardware nat (there is a fasttrack, but this is not quite right), power and cooling is not enough for stable operation in overclocked mode (overclocking is supported at up to 750 MHz with a base of 600, it works stably at 650), the lack of hardware acceleration of encryption and, accordingly, low performance with it.

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

I think if you were involved in networks, you heard about mikrotik. This little wonderful box is comparable in terms of reliability and functionality to cisco routers ten times more expensive. All sorts of asus, zuksels and longs, despite the efforts of manufacturers, remain for home users or admins who have not yet worked with mikrotik. I recommend it to all network engineers. At this price, it's just a gift.

Pros
  • Nearly perfect router. Works flawlessly. The interface is intuitive if you clearly know what you need. Uptime for more than a year with a lot of traffic and a raised l2tp server.
Cons
  • The main drawback is the impossibility, without understanding the basics of routing, to configure everything with the mouse, like with consumer routers. But this shortcoming passes quickly if you get down to business wisely. There is no wi-fi 5GHz AC, in fairness it should be noted that it did not exist yet when this box was released, and ac appeared in Mikrotiks earlier than others.

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

I'm already used to the fact that even the best home routers have to be rebooted at least once every couple of months. But not MikroTik (albeit not quite homemade). For a period of use a little less than a year, I have never encountered glitches, even the smallest ones. The uptime of an L2TP session with a provider often reaches several months. At first I was afraid that the router was too complicated for me. But if, when setting up another home router, you have an understanding of what…

Pros
  • - reliable - high performance - very rich functionality - convenient winbox client (works without problems through wine)
Cons
  • - no ac, 5GHz (will be in the next model - hAP ac)

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I use it as a home router. I will say right away, if you are used to setting up a router in 1 click (Quick Setup), then this router is not for you. It does not have a convenient wizard in which you simply enter your data. With this router, ordinary users will have to sweat. And if you, being an ordinary user, buy this router, you will definitely encounter a number of problems in setting up. And there will be negative posts on the Internet, which is difficult to set up, what doesn’t work, it…

Pros
  • + Does not cut speed. (For the first time I saw my 50+ Mbps in practice, and not on paper) + Ability to fine-tune Qos + Convenient interface where everything is divided into groups + Strong wi-fi (With the possibility of detailed settings, up to signal strength regulation). + A lot of settings, the ability to realize your fantasies (sick :-D) + Huge possibilities in a small box. (Router OS with all the pluses and minuses). + Works for a long time without reboots. + I set everything up once and forgot (in extreme cases, we write export compact in the console, and save the settings in a text document) + Can be configured from the console without using the interface. + Frequent firmware ates (with constant additions, changes, fixes)
Cons
  • For such a price and functionality . I don’t even know what to complain about)))) I don’t use a print server, I don’t connect 3G-4G modems. It's funny, but there are simply no shortcomings for me . If you're too picky: - Does not support print server. - There may be problems with 3g-4g modems. - Beeps on reboot, but I think it can be fixed. - There may be problems with incorrect time in the logs (but this is all treated). - Appearance like a doorbell)))) (Aesthetes will not like it) - L2tp is not possible to use without prescribing routes (Route), if you have l2tp and little experience in configuring routers, it will be difficult, but there is sooo much information on setting up on the Internet (would be a desire).

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

I bought this router based on reviews about its reliability. However, I faced the difficulty of setting it up, which is caused by a huge number of parameters to be changed. For the uninitiated in the wisdom of building and operating networks, their settings, the task may be impossible. However, the benefit is the Internet, which describes the sequential steps to configure this router as an access point. I've been using it for over 2 years now. For all the time there was not a single…

Pros
  • Reliability, speed, stability, compactness, power, customizability, European assembly
Cons
  • Complexity of settings

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I chose a router for L2TP at a speed of 100Mbps, because DIR300 does not pull at all. On the advice I took MikroTik. Not at all disappointed. The complexity of the initial setup is offset by the fact that "set it and forget it". Well, this complexity - for the layman, for a person who understands networks - is not at all a complexity. Scripts, if desired, you can expand the capabilities of the piece of iron. Works stably. Nothing falls off.

Pros
  • Works stably. Almost everything is configurable. Supports scripts.
Cons
  • Difficult to set up for a non-specialist.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

This is one of those routers that they say "set it and forget it": after the initial setup, which is rather complicated, everything works like clockwork. It's hard to find fault with anything, because for 2500 you get Cisco-level equipment: the widest functionality (even redundant for ordinary users), high stability and quality. Personally, I think that this model is beyond praise. Previously, I sat on the Asus RT-N10 C1, and even earlier on the Zyxel P-330 EE: I had to reboot steadily once a…

Pros
  • The functionality is huge and at the same time works flawlessly, does not cut speed, good Wi-Fi signal, excellent unix-like operating system (RouterOS), absolutely adequate price
Cons
  • Not detected

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

PPoE connection I used Asus g32 at home before, torrents downloaded at a speed of ~ 30 Mbit / s, while the web did not respond, did not distribute DHCP addresses. I bought this masterpiece for myself, loaded 2 computers with torrents, it turned out about 75 Mbit / s, judging by the interface download statistics. I decided to test gigabit ports at work, when testing IPerf, the processor loads to a maximum at 160 Mbps (from the NAT + DHCP settings of Mikrotik) The quality of the Wi-Fi…

Pros
  • An ingenious weight, with such a filling, with such an axle, but for such money. When buying, I thought that it would take at least 30 minutes to set up (I had experience with MikroTik RouterBOARD 750GL) The advantage was the presence of a quick setup, scored a login, password, changed the default passes and you're done)))
Cons
  • According to 2022 law, Wi-Fi transmitters with a power of more than 20Dbm must be registered in min. ties XDDDDDDD

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

A message from "dima lv" struck a rzhach - I spent the whole day on setting up, but the router did not work normally. As a result, I tried to reset - the reset button fell off. After that, it became impossible to access the settings. In the end, I threw it in the trash. If someone in life lacks difficulties and who is not looking for easy ways, then this is a good option for them. For those who care about convenience and ease of use, you should look at other manufacturers. :))))))) Tin! I…

Pros
  • Powerful and time-tested iron. Endless possibilities for fine-tuning for your tasks (home/office), RouterOS. Outstanding uptime. Hardware WatchDog. PoE. The best offer - price / stability / customization options for a small office / home.
Cons
  • After installation and configuration, clients no longer call!

The average product, you can find a better one.

The router is suitable for offices, system administrators and ip pickers. Suitable for home for those who want stability and are satisfied with the functionality of the router. Here fans of routing, ping and mapping will tell you that you simply do not understand and do not know how. They understand so much that the floor of the Internet is crammed with instructions for setting up the beeline, while they argue about the settings, pointing out to each other that they are fools. There are still…

Pros
  • Speed, stability, advanced settings, interface
Cons
  • 1. Connection problems with beeline settings. 2. There are many settings as a router, but most of them are unnecessary, useless. 3. Really useful functionality, say, open-wrt, is missing. There is not even support for ntfs, fatXX file systems for an external drive.

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

found out about the device by accident while rummaging around in search of a router with gigabit ports and more coverage than kinetics or tplinks. I already thought about how to buy several access points and an adequate wired router separately. All users of the latter whine about the lack of support and the strong buggy of the vast majority of devices. Then there were the magic words RouterOS and MikroTik. It is quite easy to buy it, delivery from several stores near Hong Kong takes one and a…

Pros
  • compact, powerful, flexible, non-buggy
Cons
  • did not find

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

I am in ecstasy, everything works perfectly and super stable. I took it to try because of the low price. I used to have a Draytek 2920 (for 12tyr). I set it up for a day, something was constantly buggy and hung during the setup process, and then it worked with periodic internet freezes, there was not enough power for L2TP. Mikrotik set up 2 days, configuration: 2xWAN + balancing (L2TP and PPPoE), DualAccess for two providers, IPTV for a computer, WiFi. During the setup process, nothing bugged…

Pros
  • OS on the Linux kernel (this means that most of the things have long been debugged and they are not buggy and without bugs) The application of any rules and changes are carried out in real time (without reloading) The ability to create any network configuration (the ability to mark packets and create complete chaos) CPU overclocking up to 750MHz The processor is enough for L2TP 100Mbps (beeline) Ultra stable operation Good balancer for multiple WANs Ultra low cost ~3000 rub Router management is possible through a special program (which displays a bunch of statistics, has its own sniffers and scanners, it is possible to connect to the router via MAC address) Set and forget forever
Cons
  • At the beginning there is a difficulty in configuring. You need to understand a little about network technologies (on the other hand, there are a lot of examples on the network). Simplifies configuration - application of rules without rebooting the device and statistics, where you can immediately assess whether a packet got there, whether the rule worked.

Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

Perhaps a large batch of marriage has spilled onto the market, and perhaps almost all the positive reviews are written by fans of this company, for whom rich functionality is more important than some non-working functions. It is enough to enter in the search "mikrotik 951 wifi falls off" or something like that to make sure that the problem is not one-time. If earlier the topic was discussed a little, now the entire Internet is full of it, it is found on almost all generations of firmware, I…

Pros
  • Low price, rich functionality, gigabit ports. The possibilities for setting up the device are very wide, some "buns" are frankly pleasing, such as scripts.
Cons
  • There are a number of problems that have not yet been resolved. To begin with, I would like to note that without a bottle and good instructions, it is unrealistic to set up something in it. Then, with WiFi, it’s just some kind of flour, from time to time the traffic just stops, you have to reconnect from the device, no matter how much you searched for solutions on the Internet, there really isn’t any help. A bunch of articles, I tried to change all the settings, you can only do worse, in no article the proposed measures are confirmed by people. It seems that the device has a Wifi scanner, a powerful adjustable transmitter, a lot of settings, and as a result, the Wifi speed floats in the tests. Perhaps the problem is only with apple devices, but this does not make it easier for me. Further, there are problems with some network devices over Ethernet, for example, the UV-AT101 Voice Gateway from onlime, it works fine if it is placed in front of the router, and not after the router, the port speed on Mikrotik is set to 10 Mbps, as a result, the Internet speed suffers. If you rearrange it the other way around, then the voice gateway is not always registered at the "station", it did not dig much into the problem. I remembered, I also wanted to get confused with the script for backing up the config to email, but it doesn’t work normally, because. cannot count it to the end, again a fairly well-known glitch. The latter is treated by a complete flashing of the device, and it is necessary to use the "correct tambourine", while also scoring.

The quality is at zero, very sting of the money spent.

In fact, setting up a router is not as scary as some commentators describe. But! Provided that the administrator knows what options he needs and simply ignores all the others. By default, the separation of ports into WAN (first) and LAN (all others) is already configured, a bridge is configured, and there are also basic firewall settings. I bought a router to replace the old Asus, flashed OpenWrt. Mikrotik Router OS loses a lot to OpenWrt in terms of usability. And I would not say that it wins

Pros
  • 1GB ethernet. 5 independent ethernet ports, which, if desired, can be configured / divided / demarcated as you like. It can do much more than the pre-installed OS of most other routers for the same money.
Cons
  • By default, the power was turned on at almost 30 dBm! The option to change the power is not offered on the quick settings page and is hidden in the bowels of the Wireless settings (which is reasonable if adequate default settings were set). Not only does such power require registration on the territory of the 2022, it is simply unhealthy. I'm giving it a two just for that. The web interface is a forest of settings. Perhaps, demanding corporate users need at least a quarter of these settings, for most home and office users for whom this router is positioned, you need to change 20 options at most. For a little more demanding - 50. Why it was impossible to drive rarely used options under the Advanced options tab is completely incomprehensible.

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Good equipment for IT fans. Confident administration requires academic (i. E. fundamental) knowledge of network technologies. For homegrown admins who are used to instructions like "click here, enter the numbers that the provider provided", it's hard to manage. But for them, many steps have been taken towards simplification in the form of a QuickSet section, which brings the interface closer to a simple length. I highly recommend this router for small companies (up to 100 devices).

Pros
  • many functions, convenient for monitoring what is happening on the network and finding problems
Cons
  • for beginners - the complexity of the settings. A separate difficulty with setting up Corbina\Beeline (but everything is solvable)
