Overview

Not a set-and-forget consumer router, this MikroTik router runs RouterOS for full control over routing, firewall and Wi-Fi. It covers a whole apartment on dual-band ax Wi-Fi with four internal antennas and adds a USB port.

RouterOS gives fine control over firewall rules, VLANs and wireless settings for tech-savvy owners. That depth means a steep learning curve for anyone used to an app-guided setup.

Who it's for

Apartments and small offices where someone is comfortable configuring a network. Households wanting mesh coverage across a large house need a different system.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Deep RouterOS configuration
  • Wi-Fi 6 dual-band
  • USB 3.0 port
  • Power supply included
Cons
  • Steep learning curve
  • Coverage listed for an apartment

Performance notes

Real speed depends on client devices supporting the same Wi-Fi standard and on distance through walls, since internal antennas spread the signal evenly but weaken with obstacles. The processor and RAM handle firewall and routing rules, so heavy configurations still run smoothly.
