Another postive note here for Mikrotik - $50 USD buys you the hAP ac lite - enough for a "home" router but with all the features of top end enterprise routers.

Other comments have addressed security concerns - there's lots of CVE's out there because there's lots of Mikrotiks out there. As far as I'm aware, all or nearly all CVE's are patched before they are public; there's always the risk of zerodays but everything has the risk of zerodays.
- KozmoNau7 6y agoI would go for the hAP AC or AC2, rather than the lite versions, which are specifically the low end of the range and can only route ~500Mbps and don't have 5GHz wireless. The difference in price isn't even that much, the AC2 is less than $70.
- second--shift 6y agoThis is good advice for a "one device does it all" setup. My personal setup is actually running the hap AC lites as access points, via CAPsMAN. I do routing on a hex Gr3. The hap ac lites are great value for a dual-radio 2.4/5ghz ap. I also have an all-mikrotik passive poe setup, so it's one lead to the ac lites. Similar featureset to ubnt, cisco, others, at a fraction of the price.
