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

I was very happy with this rb3011 router because it worked great and has a lot of features (nice firewall and powerful port forwarding...) Howere, it just died yesterday after 8 months of normal use in rack mounted. Port forwarding gave out and then the router would not recognize it Mac address. I am unable to access to router via winbox anymore. Had to install netinstall file to restore the router but it is still giving trouble. This is a nice piece equipment provided if it lasted. Just to mention that the reset button in the back of it is useless. That button will not do anything unless you also install the netinstall software at the same time depressing the button.

This is currently my edge router for the house and home lab. The unit has worked without issues and doesnt have any problems keeping up with my 300Mbs line and hopefully the same will be true when we get gigabit fiber. The unit is very quiet and uses little power. Mikrotik doesnt design these unit for the general population and I struggle somethings setting things up that are easy on the Cisco routers. That said, I love the price and feature set that is available. Winbox is a great tool for administration. The forums have a lot of good information. The unit provides firewall policy, DHCP for the house, DNS for the home lab, VLAN routing, VPN gateway, and other tasks. With the kids home and me tinkering, it barely exceeds 5% utilization. My only complaint is this unit only comes with a single SFP port and it would have a great SFP+ instead for use in the network core for VLAN routing.

Nice router, Im using at home for routing the traffic of the FTTH and VPNs to my customers, etc. It works perfect, rock-solid at a very good price!

Excelent

Vary Strong Router, One of the strongest i have worked with, However i am only giving it 3 stars because, Documentation sucks! Online videos are typically not in English. That said if you have a network engineering background dont hesitate. if you are a home owner or a small business owner this is probably not the right product for you. Well Not until they get some better setup videos. However there forum is loaded with great firewall programming code. But this product is not for the network beginner.

A very nice gigabit switch. I have two now. Nothing against routerOS but I have reflashed mine to run openwrt - they have a custom build available if you search for rb3011 in the forums. I set up vlans and keep all my traffic separate. The rack mount tabs can be turned 4 directions - I oriented mine upwards and have installed the switch to the underside of a shelf.

Extremely powerful router for the money! As stated in another review the power cable and fit/finish and build quality could be better but the hardware itself is solid. The faster porocessor is great; with a ton of firewall rules vpn, vlan and all setup i havent got more than 25% cpu usage maxing out my WAN connection! you cant do better for less than $200!!
