I pound sh*t out a rb5009. And it does fine .. now I know a hex or a hap ac2 are not even the same. If I had a hEX device I could probably be ok . A MikroTik device with standalone AP is what is solid for me . I have some MikroTik devices with wireless and had some incompatible issues and throughput

While Unifi devices are great(ish, depending on the situation), they are not very entry level user friendly, especially in small setups because of how the management is done centrally. IMO Unifi devices are best used in larger setups, preferably as a complete network ecosystem (or a specific part of

MikroTik requires manual configuration for everything. Go to System -> Disk, you usually have to format it to a compatible file system and mount it first. You have to manually enable the file sharing service, go to IP -> SMB, check Enabled, and then set up a share and a user under that menu. While t

No tiene que ser un router autorizado ni nada de eso. Compra uno que te guste y tenga un buen precio. Yo tengo este MikroTik hAP AC2 2.4/5.8GHz y me funciona super. Después que actives el DMZ estarás bien.

regarding your test with the hAP ac2 you spotted exactly why the older architectures are prized for this specific use case. Even with the wireless driver, the IPQ40xx chipsets in the ac2 have tighter hardware-level frequency locks than the older AR9xxx chips found in the BaseBox. The BaseBox 2 is fr

I'm working with about 500 Mikrotiks spread out over 5~6 counties, most of them are outdoor installations in places with really dirty and unreliable power. My repeat service calls are almost always power related. UPSes fix entirely too many problems, but you can't put a UPS behind every single route

You should check out The Badjr — it’s a custom firmware for MikroTik. I’ve got it running on my hAP ac2 lite and it’s honestly awesome for home setups. It’s free if you just wanna mess around or test it out, but if you scale it for business use, there’s a small license fee. They’ve got a Discord and

Me three. (TMI follows, thanks to my neurospicyness.) Couple of years ago I built and maintained a full UniFi setup for a small(ish) office environment but obviously was a bit disappointed with all the hype I had heard, as I noticed the “shortcomings” of UniFi management coming from a very nerdish b
