RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN Sfp Plus 10 Port Ethernet

Un buen equipo burn rendimiento

El procesador del router tira poco y te obliga a apagar el lcd para ganar recursos en caso de 300 megas, que fluctuan como si de una adsl se tratara... no recomendado para enrutar mas de 150 megas..

I am so amazed with this product. It's powerful, flexible, inside a robust metal case, sports external antennas, USB data access, ability to use web-based configuration, command line configuration, or Windows configuration program, and this even a touchscreen LCD panel built right in! The catch? You will have to learn how to use it. I am a standard user with a desire to tinker, so have been running DD-WRT (custom firmware) for my old WRT-54GL. I found that setup easy to use, even though there are many advanced features available, for the most part I could ignore them. Now, this Mikrotik product made me wonder if purchasing it was a mistake once I booted it up and logged into the interface the first time. There is a "quick set" feature that will preload many standard settings that will turn the Mikrotik router into your basic home router, where you plug in your modem on Ethernet port #1, and the rest of the 9 ports act as your local bridged network. With quick set, you can be up and running in no time, but the setup will be basic... and if you're looking at this router, I know you want to do some fun stuff with it. Want to do DDNS? You'll need a script+schedule to get that working. Want to do some port forwarding? You'll need to 1) allow access through the firewall for whatever port you want to use, and 2) create a NAT rule that handles this incoming connection on that port. Automatic backup to file on local storage + email you a copy? Make a schedule for it. And so on and so forth. This thing seems to be very versatile. So far, everything I want to do can be done, but you can't always assume it will be a simple task... or even straightforward. I know I'm barely tapping the potential of this thing, but as a hobbyist/tinkerer, it's been a good investment. Also, the RouterOS license that you need for this is built in. There are no licensing feeds - just buy the hardware and it works - unlike enterprise-class Cisco products, etc... I read that power users (e.g. those used to the aforementioned Cisco products) will have no problem adjusting to RouterOS. It's different, but if you are already messing with the high-class gear, you probably have a good idea of what you're doing. For basic users like me, it was more of a fun project, but can clearly see the potential of this device. Also, if you need help, the Mikrotik community is great. I've received so many scripting tips and troubleshooting techniques just by browsing the forums. Just take it slow and get to know the router. Treat it with respect and invest some time into it - it's different than what you're used to, but that's okay. You might even form a long lasting bond with this amazing piece of tech, ha! :)

What an awesome router! With the burgeoning number of phones, tablets and laptops at home and with a fairly large family at home, it's been really difficult for me to keep track of the bandwidth hogs on my network. Earlier I used Tomato on an Asus RTN12 for this purpose, but it just wasn't stable enough and there was no persistent storage (no USB port and too little free space om Flash/NAND). With the RB2011UiAS plus a few simple queues and static DHCP leases, DL/UL consumption is recorded for each individual device and I can see the trends on an hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis. Based on this, each device is being throttled independently :-) I've also enabled transparent proxy (with generous caching configured on a USB memory stick) on the Mikrotik router to reduce internet bandwidth usage and without having to configure each and every device with the proxy details. Wi-Fi signal strength is awesome and covers the entire house (G+2). The LCD has been configured to show PPPoE bandwidth graph always. I'm currently trying to get the router to beep differently whenever certain devices arrive on and leave the Wi-Fi network ;-) The 224 unique IP address that I have recorded attempting to hack my router via Telnet, SSH, Web and HTTP (28,000 attempts over the past two and a half days, yeah that right no typos here!) have been merrily sent to the tarpit via a few simple firewall rules. Maybe I'll flood ping them back with a script if I'm bored ;-) ... and I've just scratched the surface. If there is a con (not really so if you're a networking expert), it's that simple things can require quite a iut of head-scratching and googling to get to work. But once you hit the forums and read the Wiki, you'll get it working soon enough.

With new fiber to the house, it was time to replace my old WRT54GL (running DD-WRT) with a more capable router, and this fit my needs. (I retired the old router to our AirBnB guest house and connected it to this one via a buried cable on its own subnet.) I run Linux Mint, and the WinBox software runs fine through Wine. There's also a web GUI, but WinBox is nicer as it has features such as drag-and-drop to reorder the firewall rules. Some features seem only accessible via the CLI. Speaking of the firewall, this one has a lot more features than the consumer routers. Using the firewall, I set up port-knocking so I can access my system from anywhere, while keeping all the ports stealthed. The firewall also secures my IP camera so it can't talk to China or anywhere else (except through my port-knocked connection), but it does track all of the addresses the camera tries to connect to. (So far, I've seen two addresses, both of which are listed online as abusive). The firewall is stateful, which allows me to add rules so I can connect from my main network to the guest network, but the guest cannot connect to my main network. I still have some more things to do. I'm working on getting OpenVPN working (also with port-knocking), and also planning to change my setup to use vlans to give me a little more control. There's plenty of nifty built-in utilities such as a traffic generator and packet sniffer. Built-in scripting is also a powerful feature. You can also run scripts on schedules. Firmware upgrades are super simple, and you can even write a script to update the firmware automatically as needed. There's also a lot of features I'll never use at home, such as MPLS and BGP. The router is small, runs cool, and the all-metal construction seems sturdy. Having 10 ports is handy. The router doesn't support the fastest WiFi speeds, but that's fine for my needs. Documentation is not as mature as for other brands, but the Mikrotik website has a wiki and a forum to help answer whatever questions I may have. Now I kinda wish all my routers were Mikrotik. Maybe one day... UPDATE (Jan 19, 2022): This router is still holding up and I've had absolutely no problems with it. I bought a cheap ($24.53) Mikrotik hAP lite for the guest house which I bricked somehow. Bought an hAP AC lite ($49) to replace it, which I also bricked. I think I'll replace the guest house unit with one of these. UPDATE (Jun 26, 2022): Still no problems with this router. And the two cheap Mikrotik's I mentioned earlier I got working again as well.
