The mikrotik hardware is good but I find the documentation is poor and several times I have found their implementation of a feature is half baked. For instance their openvpn is over tcp only.
If you can make sure they do what you need and figure out how to set them up to achieve that they can be very cost effective. They are popular with the wireless ips crowd but have been facing strong competition from ubiquity.
Given the choice i buy ubiquity products, but they don't have as many "features".
Mikrotik have also been gpl violators.
- Spidler 13y agoI gave up on Mikrotik when I got one of their Switches, which explicitly have support for VLANs, and could only discover that the .. vlan..support was so botched that it couldn't make default VLAN's on different ports.
- snowwindwaves 12y agoI think you have to "unslave" the ports from the master so they pass their packets up to the CPU, assign the ports to a bridge, and then the assign the bridge to a vlan. It took me about 50 hours to figure out but I did manage to get three SSIDs on one radio, each of which would connect the client to a different vlan.
