Mikrotik is underpowered in what sense? Computing power or router features?
- wtallis 8y agoCompute power, mostly. The hEX and RouterBoard products are mostly single-core MIPS processors in the 600-800MHz range, with a few using the dual-core 880MHz MIPS chip from Mediatek. You have to go all the way up to the $180 RB3011 to get a decent dual-core 1.4GHz ARM, or you could get that same CPU in a TP-Link router for $125 and also get dual-band WiFi (though admittedly, half as many Ethernet ports, but the second 5-port switch in the RB3011 certainly isn't worth the price difference).
