Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN 2.4GHz AP 10-port wireless Router (5x Ethernet, 5x Gigabit Ethernet), SFP cage, USB, LCD, PoE output on Eth10, 600MHz CPU, 128MB RAM

Pros: The Routerboard software makes this easily the most capable networking device you can buy for under $1,000. It has more features than any router has any business having. The hardware is capable, and the device is reliable

Cons: This is a complex device. Configuring even the simplest of things requires a pretty intimate understanding of Networking. For example, if you want to open a port for gaming or RDP or whatnot, you don't just type in a port and select UDP or TCP. You have to create a NAT rule and setup a Firewall firewall rule on the appropriate chain. It is extremely complex and not for your average consumer.

Overall Review: By far and away the best router money can buy...if you can use it.

Pros: The software for this router is absolutely amazing. Very few functions this device isnincapable of. Hardware is reliable and have had no real issue with quality. No router I have used has produced simlar results with an equivalent feature set for anywhere near this price in my experience.

Cons: RouterOS is undeniably difficult to use for the inexperienced, would not recommend this device to anyone who is even slightly weary anout their skill level. (Though, in my honest opinion, it's really not as insurmountable as it may seem)

Pros: Maximum allowed transmit power by the FCC (1W) kicks some serious tail. RouterOS is awesome at being capable of doing anything you need it to do.

Cons: RouterOS is not user friendly in the slightest. This is not a router you should expect to "just work" out of the box. It comes with default configurations but it is up to YOU to configure it properly and secure to your liking.

Overall Review: To the reviewer who claims this isn't a router, yet gives himself a five-egg tech level rating: LOL - the ones who know so little always think they know everything. DD-WRT also runs on a linux kernel and is found on a plethora of consumer routers straight from the box.

Pros: This is an amazing router and blows the standard home router to pieces. The problem with it is that it is only made for a very experienced network person. If you are the average geek then it may be too complicated. If you have the knowledge it will do anything you ask of it.

Cons: Not AC router

Pros: routeros is powerful

Cons: terrible quality, terrible reseller

Pros: Nothing worth mentioning.

Cons: Buggy interface/software, unreliable performance, VERY weak signal transmission.

Overall Review: Installing this was the worst experience I have ever had trying to setup a network device. The documentation (both in print and online) is terrible, and most of it is severely outdated and inaccurate. The RouterOS is filled with bugs and a huge security vulnerability in and of itself. I would not recommend this router for any purpose, and I'm baffled as to how anyone could possibly feel secure using this device. Also worth mentioning: this device IS NOT A ROUTER. It is a standalone linux computer that tries desperately hard to act like a dedicated router. Do yourself a favor and buy a dedicated router that simply does what is suppose to do.

Pros: None

Cons: I want to make a long story short so I do not bore you folks. I will say this is by far the worst router I have ever purchased. I am an electronics engineer/network engineer. I also worked on and designed Motorola and Juniper systems as well. I have been setting up networks for fortune 500 companies since 97. Mikrotik has made it very clear that they will not stand behind their product. I have been fighting them for an RMA number for the last couple months, Do not buy from them!!! Brady

Overall Review: Even the POE port did not work!
