It comes in a nice cardboard package about 30 centimeters in length.

I was really interested in trying one, hoping it would solve all my problems, so i ordered one from a local e-tailer.Īnd within a couple of days it was at my door. Its a similar OS to pfsense where you can install it on an x86 machine and turn it in to a router, it also comes pre-installed on all routerboard products. This model comes in many configurations including an SFP port for some models, a rack mount case, a completely base model with only ethernet ports.īut probably the most important thing that this router has against its competition is RouterOS. N wireless, but lets face it who doesn't these days :).Supports power over ethernet (PoE) on one port.5 Gigabit ports + 5 10/100 ports, good if you have a mix of old devices that can't reach gigabit speeds.Having worked with Mikrotik's routers in the last summer i though id give one of their units a go.įor a 130$ price point i thought its a very good product for what it offers. So i was done with ordinary consumer routers and started to look for something that would improve my experience. The weirdest thing of all is that of all the 3 routers i had they all had the same issue even though the chips on the routers were different, the manufacturer was, the software was, even putting dd-wrt on them gave me the issue. And since i am running a few servers restarting routers every 2 days was really driving my nerves. I have been suffering from network issues for a long time now which were very annoying, that includes constant disconnects and other strange issues like not loading web pages, but all the other services are working fine. Hey guys, this is my first attempt in reviewing a product, so bear with me :)
