I love RouterOS and have been using it extensively for home and soho. And I absolutely agree: it can bee a pain to set it up. Every little part of it is complicated enough to spend hours on.
Setting up networks can take long long hours. But documentation has improved lately and you can also watch their own YouTube channel, which has some useful videos. Also you should try using their forum, which is full of helpful guys.
Don´t let yourself get scared, if someone gets very rough with you, though!
On the other hand you can tune it in endless ways.
- snuxoll 3y agoRouterOS really isn't any more difficult to learn than competing NOS like JunOS or IOS-XR, both of which also suffer from much in the way of easy-to-use Getting Started kind of docs for newcomers to high-end networking gear. Having used Juniper gear in my homelab for multiple years before I ever bought a Mikrotik switch our router, the hardest part was figuring out where everything was compared to JunOS. I'm interested to see how many people saying that RouterOS is difficult to pick up are completely new to managed networking equipment, compared to how many are moving from competing solutions.
