They have a quick setup and then the need-a-university-degree setup. It would be nice if there were a middle ground ... something between megacomplex and simple. None the less, I got my university degree and it's fun what you can do with this device. In fact I wrote a bunch of software to help me with that middle ground, which is why I know the device could benefit from it.

Small and light. Without it off-the shelf firmware, it's a home access point, whether connected through its own Ethernet LAN or Wifi, I can connect to the home network through my ISP router. For AREDN home use, I configured it for IP tunneling through Internet. I can connect to my home network and the tunnel at the same time. Just after getting it and installing AREDN firmware, I took it out to a field site to test POE radios on top of a water tower. That one time alone justified purchasing it. I plugged the POE power into its Ethernet input jack (it can use unpowered LAN input with 24 volt wall adaptor), then plugged each radio one by one into the Ethernet output jack (can switch 24 volt POE output on or off through a web-browser). It worked great and saved me the hassle of needing separate POE injector.

I wanted to create a node on the ARDEN mesh network for Ham radio. I purchased this device and after following the online tutorials I was able to reflash the firmware for AREDN Mesh network. I now have my node connected to the mesh network via IP tunneling for the backbone. This allows me to experiment with the ARDEN network before investing more money in a 2 Ghz antenna to place on my roof. The device is ready to support the antenna when I purchase it. One of the ports on this device provides POE through a ethernet cable up to the 2Ghz antenna when I install it.

Purchased on US Amazon and shipped to Canada. No issues. Straight forward process to flash AREDN firmware and then use on AREDN networks. Works as expected. This is my second hAP purchased from this seller. The first is for my portable station with three MicroTic radios and this will be used to set up a stationary AREDN server with tunnels for local AREDN equipped Hams. My first review applies equally well to the second unit.

I bought this item because I believed it would serve as a good versatile tool for my security camera installation business. Big mistake. I actually tried this and the "hex" version, which is black. Both advertise "poe in" which is actually passive POE, not 802.3at/af which is the standard that virtually every POE switch uses. So right out of the box, this thing is useless in the field unless you have an 802.3at/af to passive POE converter, in order to power this on through a standard POE switch. Literally all IT devices such as IP phones, IP cameras, and WAP's all use the 802.3at/af standard, so the fact that this uses PASSIVE poe is like selling a gaming monitor that only has VGA input.There are a bunch of other reasons I ended up just throwing this thing off a 4 story rooftop. One is the fact that it always has a mind of it's own. I set the password for both the SSID and the web login to "123456789". However, that did not work. Using the default "admin" password did however. After logging in and attempting to change the password to "123456789", I received an error stating basically that was the previous password and I could not choose that. WTF????I also could not factory reset this thing no matter which way I tried. It literally has a mind of its own.Finally, the biggest complaint I have with Microtik in general, is their awfull a RouterOS webGUI. On their routerBOARD model, I have spent about an hour trying to figure out how to change the IP of a specific port before giving up. There seems to be no way to change an IP address in the ADVANCED configuration menu. Although that is a different Microtik product, their awfull UI that requires a PHD in computer science to intercept makes this product useless for basic applications such as mine.

This is a great little router / AP for its price point and for what I needed. My main WiFi AP at home is an old EnGenius EAP 1200 which covers our 2-story for most of devices. But lately we've purchased several 'smart' devices like cameras, garage door opener, robo-vac, smart switches, etc. and some of them have pretty pathetic WiFi antennas in them. So I bought this to help them out.Pros:* It has RouterOS and is super-configurable. Multi SSIDs, decent firewall rules, all the standard RouterOS stuff. It has some nice setup wizards for non-tech folks, but for a tech person, you can't get better than this unless you go expensive enterprise. Period.* Despite not having a "real" antenna (just the in-box one), it easily covers about 1000 sq ft of our downstairs plus the garage.Cons:* It's only 100Mbit. But I don't need anything better for our stupid IoT devices.* No WiFi-6. But I don't need that either because I'm not watching 4K video on my robo-vac.* The processor will be weak if you want to do more sophisticated firewall rules like packet inspection. So buy a higher model if you want that.

Performance of this router is excellent, no doubt. Normally, dual band routers take a few minutes to boot up but this one gets ready within 30 seconds.

This is a great little router for your home if you typically find yourself happy at a command-line. It can be controlled via a Windows application (Winbox), a web interface, or command-line via SSH/Telnet. The feature I'm most excited about is the power-over-ethernet output which will let us ditch powerline and run a cable to a single AP in the middle of the house (previously a router at one end, and an AP at the other).Great experiences so far:1) unit is small and low power (8W).2) pre-packaged configurations make getting started simple.3) intelligent and helpful answers on the forums.4) measurably better signals at 2.4GHz and 5GHz than the larger and more expensive Linksys EA6350.5) supports LTE modems via USB interface, can be used for mobile internet.6) POE interface works with Unifi Video G3 cameras and others.7) Awesome firewall and NAT8) Super configurableKnown limitations:1) 100Mb/s wired interfaces.2) No friendly consumer UI.3) Needs patience to configure.The limitations don't bother me at all as the internet connection here is only 80/20 Mb/s and we don't spend much time transferring files between machines (use robocopy / rsync anyway for transfers to NAS).Possibly useful when setting up - I recommend having 2 network adapters on your PC. One that can connect to the internet and one to connect to the Mikrotik whilst you get used to the tools (WinBox/SSH/WebUI). I'd also recommend downloading a copy of the RouterOS manual PDFs. There is wiki online, but this is a bit more scattershot than the manual at my level of familiarity (48hours). I've asked some newbie questions on the forums and received good advice over the weekend, it seems to have a community around it.

ho preso questa routerboard per usarla con una chiavetta usb 3g. il fatto che il sistema operativo routeros funzioni anche su hardware x86, mi ha permesso di testare il funzionamento con diverse chiavette che avevo in casa installando la demo che funziona per 24h effettive, più che sufficienti per valutare l'acquisto. alla fine si è rivelato perfettamente compatibile con una chiavetta huawei k4606 di quelle "hilink", che per funzionare come modem in ambiente linux vanno "switchate", il sistema fa tutto in automatico, basta configurare la parte di accesso PPP con i dati dell'operatore e si è pronti a navigare. per la configurazione in ambiente windows c'è il tool winbox, altrimenti l'interfaccia web che permette di fare le stesse cose, da questi tool si può capire la profondità di configurazioni possibili su questo "giocattolino". per i più temerari c'è la linea di comando, ma attenzione che routeros è un linux particolare e non vi troverete davanti la classica shell, bensì una shell proprietaria con i suoi comandi menu e sottomenù. ho scelto di acquistare questo prodotto per le enormi potenzialità che offre, a differenza di altri prodotti che per fare una minima parte di quello che può fare una routerboard, vanno flashati con firmware alternativi. il fatto poi di aver potuto testare prima il software e la compatibilità con le mie chiavette è stato determinante. non mi starò a dilungare sul sistema operativo anche perchè non basterebbe un libro, in rete c'è parecchia letteratura al riguardo. aggiungo solo che a casa mia l'ho piazzato al piano terra e il wifi prende anche al piano sopra e nel seminterrato, anche se allontanandosi dalla "verticale" il segnale si attenua ma sempre permettendo la navigazione. sto usando comunque solo la banda 2,4 ghz non avendo dispositivi 5 ghz in casa. in futuro potrei migliorare il segnale con degli extender ma già così sono più che soddisfatto.
