Mikrotik RB3011UIAS-RM RouterBOARD 10xGigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, LCD, RB3011

I spent ten hours on simply trying to port forward one single port, using every method anyone proposed and every interface I could find, and was never able to get it to work. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. Back to Amazon it goes.

Work as a professional router at lower price. Never need to restart. Al device connected is efficient whit this Router.

great prices

works like it should. typical mikrotik default router os.

Muy bueno

There is only one reason this gets 3 stars instead of 5. Its the total P.O.S. power supply connector. Unfortunately this thing doesnt have an internal p/s, it uses an external wall wart. The circular DC power connector on my unit is poorly soldered / connected to the PCB. So if you bump or wiggle the connector on the back of the box, the unit will reset (power failure). So its possible I got the only bad unit, but I dont dare return it for another because Im afraid the replacement will have the exact same problem. Would I pay an extra $20 for Mikrotik to put a real p/s internal to the unit? Absolutely. Mikrotik, if youre reading this, PLEASE stop using these external wall warts. I cant imagine anyone wanting to deal with wall warts in a rack environment. The same goes for your switches as well. So if I had to do it again, I would likely pay double for the ubiqiti competitor even though the price is double. The quality control here of the solder joints just arent reliable. Here comes the duct tape to hold the power connector stable.

Purchased their wireless version think a model 2011 wireless a few years ago. Was flawless. This has all the improvements was looking for and once you get a handle on the firewall. There is no turning back. Have programmed Cisco, Sophos, Watchguard, Checkpoint, D-link, Netgear, Juniper, Zyxel, Umbiquiti, ITT and some sure have forgotten.... But this has the overall best balance of endless capabilities and growth for my needs. RouterOS is pretty exciting as it grows over 20 years or so now. One main important area to me is low power consumption and security. Only 10 watts makes that leap for me. *********7/25/17********** Still using and have 5 firewall rules that come up depending on the violation. This thing is a wall once you get the rules in place. ************10/3017********** Can really make a strong firewall with this. Runs cool and just a powerhouse router. ***********6/18*********** Still use and no one has gotten inside it. 2/19 Still use and secure. ***********6/21*********** Still going strong and in use.

Awesome router for a pro-sumer

This is, by far, the best router for the money on the market. Another persons complaint about the external PS is without merit because most of Mikrotiks hardware is designed to function PoE, making an internal PS more limiting. Internal PSs also produce the most heat and keeping it external prolongs the life of the unit. I cant imagine why someone would need to fiddle with the unit and move it around or tamper with the PS port unless you are in a college dorm environment or a cramped space in a cubicle. Plug it in, program it and leave it alone - thats the beauty of these things. Ive got 5 different Mikrotik devices and as long as you are willing to learn about RouterOS and delve into the programming therein, this device is as close to an enterprise level device as you can get, and at a fraction of the cost. The tech support guys in Latvia are more than willing to jump in and help you (via email) if you have any issues or questions, something I cannot find with respects to the traditional routers you might purchase at a big box store. This device will improve your connectivity by keeping your connection solid and it will (if you program it) keep intruders OUT of your network. It supports both Fiber Optic SFP connections (1) and or an Ethernet feed to your modem. Its completely and independently programmable for each port or they can all be bridged together as a switch. Its gigabit and with the built in ARM processor it handles 10 high definition 3&4MP camera streams, nine PCs and a home server with no problems. Any standard router dies in 6 months and every Microtik I own (since 2010) is still in service. Whats awesome about these machines is the firmware and software is always being improved and the owner can upload the latest improvements and apply them on the fly. This is more likened to a miniature laptop that you can upgrade the OS environment for free by downloading the latest upgrades and applying them. As IPV6 rolls in this device is already ready for the implementation and you wont have to go out and purchase a new box to work with your ISPs new modem. This device gives you full control of your network and takes your ISPs fingers out of the environment. For the money, it is the BEST firewall system you can purchase for a home network.
