You don't have to buy from them the hardware.
I used to use OpenWRT (which is also a nice second option), but the robustness and flexibility of mikrotik is fantastic.
- enneff 5y agoSeconding this. Great firmware and I own some of their hardware and it works well.
- mmastrac 5y agoI have had a Mikrotik device for about 5 years now and it doesn't require a cloud login but you better be ready to learn the nuances of the Mikrotik system. It is far too easy to accidentally open up your internal network through misconfiguration. The wizards for network setup make this much easier but be ready for a steep learning curve.
- stevenjgarner 5y agoI strongly upvote Mikrotik with its open-source RouterOS software (which you can run on nearly any computer). I have used Mikrotik for years, from their low-end (but powerful) routerBOARD offerings through to their CCR1036-12G-4S optical router and their nRAY 60 GHz point-to-point wireless Internet. I have supported dozens of router brands for clients since 1996, and I cannot say enough good things about Mikrotik. It allows you to work productively on Terminal CLI (but that is not necessary).
- redprince 5y ago> I strongly upvote Mikrotik with its open-source RouterOS software (which you can run on nearly any computer). Unless I have missed a few recent development, the RouterOS is open source only in the sense that it is build on a foundation of open source software. The source of the GPL parts is available upon request. Running RouterOS on non-Mikrotik hardware requires the purchase of a separate license. Mikrotik hardware usually comes with a license already on the device.
