Mikrotik

You might’ve noticed the EU and Latvian flags in our recent brochures. Over 50% of our products are already made in the EU — and that number’s growing.

We’re bringing production closer to home to ensure quality, supply chain security, and transparency.

It’s not just a label. It’s a promise. 🇱🇻🇪🇺

What is Quality of Service? What it is its purpose? But more importantly how can you configure it in RouterOS? In this video we go over all the possible ways you could deliver the Quality of Service your network users are looking for. @mikrotik@lemmy.world

I mean the wAP ax is cheaper and offers faster wifi, plus it's waterproof so you can use it outdoors. One advantage of the cAP ax is a faster cpu and more RAM, but if you need a complex firewall or VPN, a dedicated server makes more sense I guess.

Tbf the cAP has two Ethernets and PoE out so you can Daisy chain them. But is that all or am I missing something?

I recently got fiber internet and wanted to bypass all ISP equipment with the was110. Since I needed a router with SFP (I've had an Edgerouter-X for years) I decided to go switch to Mikrotik.

The l009 is such a nice router! I ended up pairing it with a cheap no-name multi gigabit managed switch (4x 2.5gb rj45 and 2x sfp+ for high speed transfers to my NAS) and a Mikrotik wAP AX for wifi, which is powered through the passive PoE on the l009.

I've been playing with LACP bonding, VLANs, firewalling and IPv6 and there is so much to it. It is such a great way to learn.

Mikrotik is a pretty cool company too. Fair prices, based the EU, have a fediverse presence (shout out @mikrotik@mikrotik.social) and support old hardware pretty much forever.

Granted, their equipment has a quite high learning curve. But if you have the time and patience, it is really rewarding.

Wow, fediverse mentioned!

Well I couldn't find this on the internet anywhere-

I was having issues setting up active-backup bonding on my Mikrotik router via this guide.

Whenever I turned on both interfaces, I experienced packet loss.

The solution was to TURN OFF hardware offloading. It doesn't work with active-backup. The docs even say it doesn't work with hardware offloading, but it failed in a way that was hard for me to debug.

So yeah! Now works great, router <-> unmanaged switch with bond bridged.
