I bought MikroTik for the netflow feature, which can reveal active malware via hardware packet counters by endpoint.[0] The next cheapest router with netflow is in the thousands of dollars. MikroTik is $180 at Amazon.

- lvillani 11y agoWhich one do you have? Mine is an RB751U-2HnD and it is plagued with problems, to the point that I set-up an automatic reboot every other day and I'm thinking about switching to Ubiquiti gear...
- nier 11y agoA client of mine has a RouterBOARD 1100 X2 AH that I also decided to reboot daily for stability reasons. A RouterBOARD 951G 2HnD used in a branch office lost all IPSec configuration and hangs when viewing the settings on the command line. Certified MikroTik technician says the thing has to be reformatted and set up from scratch. My first experience with MikroTik products. Not good.
- jlgaddis 11y agoJust to chime in with another anecdote, I've got several MikroTik RB493G's acting as PPPoE access concentrators that are stable as hell and have been in service for a couple of years with no issues. In general, I've had better luck with the lower end of their product line.
- tacon 11y agoI bought this one: MikroTik - CRS125-24G-1S-RM http://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-CRS125-24G-1S-RM-rackmount-enclosure-manageable/dp/B00I4QJSIM http://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-CRS125-24G-1S-RM-rackmount-en... I haven't pushed it much, as RouterOS is very powerful but has rather a steep learning curve. I've never had to reboot it in the five months I've had it.
