Moving from Unifi to Mikrotik is quicker and easier then I thought (the buy phase 😉 )
RB5009 as router & firewall (2.5G connection to the ISP modem)
hAP ax2 as AP (wifi)router somewhere in the house
CAP ax for the enhanced wifi experience (yes I have demanding housemates)
That will upgrade wifi to 6, add WPA3 and replace opnsense (an old device which reduces throughput)
And an implicit move for US to EU products
@justdude I also look forward to any setup posts!
I have a temporary Unifi setup with a Unifi AC Pro, an 8 Port PoE Switch, PoE Passive Switch (can't remember the models) and a USG (they were hand-me-downs from a friend for a good price at the time).
Did have a browse but not sure what to go for. Between yourself, @justine and @stefano it looks like I have some good folks to ask for help when the time comes. :)
@joshaspinall @justdude @justine I'm currently configuring this for my office.
At the moment, I'm managing around 50 #MikroTik devices. They're all doing great.
I have more or less other 50 devices to be delivered or "just in case". They can be off for years - I upgrade them, reset to default settings and they're ready to do their job in a reliable way.
Oh, and I also have a watchdog!
@stefano @joshaspinall @justine
Nice to know…
That is an affordable watchdog… it does not eat,although you get also no extra exercise
@justdude @joshaspinall @justine the good news is: this watchdog never dies. So it doesn't make you sad.
@stefano @joshaspinall @justine
Be careful that when you dust it, it doesn’t fall…
@justdude @joshaspinall @justine that's the most dangerous part. And I can confirm it's hard enough - in the last 10 years, it has happened 😆
