Amazing
I like that it doesn't emit a wireless signal. I like that it is fast and has lots of ports for multiple devices.

I saw what I was doing wrong and was able to write three more just like it, for other IP addresses
You get a lot for your money with this little router. It has all the features of an "enterprise" grade router, at a price comperable to a low-end "SOHO" 10/100 switch of the same number of ports. You can't even buy the software license level installed on this thing for their higher-end routers for this price!I bought it for my home, to replace a Cisco ASA5505 behind a Twowire / Pace 3800HGV-B Uverse modem / "router", where I will be running my own Internet domain servers. I could not get the NATing through the ASA to work right with this Uverse modem. I'm stuck with the Uverse modem, and anyone who has worked with them to enable inbound connections to a server knows what a pain they are. The ASA simply would not enable more than one "public" IP address that would work with the modem.I have a co-worker who has been using Microtik RouterBoard products at home for years. After I had some initial trouble getting NAT to work right (hint: forget everything you learned doing NAT on a Cisco product: it's all backwards) he sent me a copy of his main router config (sanitized to remove passwords). I copied his main NAT statement, adjusted for my IPs and BANG! It works. Once I saw how that statement looks in the web GUI, I saw what I was doing wrong and was able to write three more just like it, for other IP addresses. They all work perfectly. Now I can copy my data down from my existing hosted servers and move my domain to my home servers and stop paying for hosting. (Still need to find a solution for outbound mail though...)

Diamond in the Rough
NOTE: This is a wired router. It does not project WiFi; you must use an ethernet cable to connect to it. If you need WiFi, your best option is to find a different router, like the RB952Ui-5ac2nD or the RB941-2nD-TC.I honestly do not understand how they keep the price so low. I spent a while looking for routers, and this was the best deal I could find by a long shot. I was skeptical at first, but it really is as good as everyone is saying. This little thing can do just about anything you want plus 100 more things.You do not need to be an expert to use this, but if you are one, you will love it. Basic setup is just as easy as it is with other routers; I just plugged it in and it started working (automatic IP, firewall, DHCP, etc.). Advanced setup like routing and pools is more difficult. However, I'm not a networking expert and still figured out how to turn the router into a free, personal L2TP VPN, so the interface is still user-friendly, just tailored to people who want to tell the router exactly what to do. You can have full control over nearly everything it does.Support is awesome with Mikrotik. They have a huge wiki and a helpful community.UPDATEThis thing is a beast (a good beast). After using it daily for the past 16 months, I still haven't needed to reboot it. Not once. It keeps on keeping on like a champ.

Stopped working within warranty period, don't recommend
Don't recommend. Unfortunately stopped working at 10 months, still within warranty period, difficult customer service with Mikrotik and GETIC, the Amazon seller, refuses to initiate RMA warranty repair as directed by the manufacturer. Amazon also refuses to do anything. In the end, a warranty is just a piece of paper, only as good as the seller you're buying from

Amazing... If it didn't reset every time a network changes! (Review Update: Fixed in RC)
It has all the options you could ask for, except retaining settings.Is it really so much to ask that it doesn't switch from bridge to router? If the device would stay in bridge mode, I'd give it 5 stars.Update: Upgrading to the release-candidate resolved my issues. Updating from 3 to four stars.It's equally nice and annoying a DHCP relay has to be setup as well (even easy mode in RC release won't do it for you).Finding that updates can't be installed offline through the UI amongst other nuances is why I can't give this product 5 stars.This product is great, I can imagine software updates will fix all the issues soon.

This is a great little wired only ethernet router ... but pass if you are not knowledgeable in networking ...
This is a great little wired only ethernet router ... but pass if you are not knowledgeable in networking or have a network admin friend to help you.I bought this to replace an old Pentium 4 (yes P4) running a custom Linux firewall distribution. The old machine had a hardware failure, so I need something in the interim to replace it. I already use a Mikrotik wireless access point, so I figure it was a safe bet for the price. In a word, it's rock solid, it works, and I don't plan on replacing it. It only has 10/100 wired ethernet ports, which is fine in my scenario, but you may want to get the Mikrotik hEX (non - lite) version if you need 10/100/1000 ports.

This router appears to have as much functionality as similar ...
This router appears to have as much functionality as similar routers that cost hundreds of times as much as this one does. I can set up IPSec VPN tunnels with this thing. It can do traffic generation for testing. You can insert PCAP captures and it will feed them on to your network. You can modify the MTU's of all the interfaces. It can send text messages... I didn't even know that was possible. It can do some security testing - ping floods, IP half scans. It can send emails. I have yet to figure out what it CAN'T do. I came back after using the restroom and it had made me a cup of coffee. Seriously. This router is NOT for novices. If it lasts for a while, I am going to buy several more of them.

Good price and very versatile
This router is small but very versatile and offers an overwhelming amount of settings. I bought it especially to create several VLANS and must admit that I thought this would be easier. But I had little detailed knowledge of how to program a router for more complex tasks and did not have the time to study it, so I hired someone over the internet to do this for me remotely. It works perfectly and I am very happy with this little router.
