Mikrotik routers are not designed to be a consumer router. The average consumer would pull his/her hair out trying to configure one. Providing network attached storage is generally not a feature requested of anything but the full-consumer line home routers of the type that you purchase from Best Buy etc...
- tomaac 10y agoThat is not quite true. They have soho product group: http://routerboard.com/products/group/20 http://routerboard.com/products/group/20
- sathackr 10y agoI was not aware they were marketing in that direction...imo they shouldn't be, for the reasons listed by others. The UI just isn't quite intuitive enough for the average-joe that's expecting something like a Linksys/Beldin interface.
- benjohnson 10y agoThe newer firmware also has a single-page setup that let you set the WAN/LAN IP, DHCP server and other basic stuff with ease. Basic port forwarding is still interesting - it's simple once you understand MikroTik, but there's a learning curve.
- sathackr 10y agoI haven't spent much time in the "Quickset" page...I learned it before they had that function and it never seems to do what I want it to. Probably is handy for some basic configurations though.
