Under Construction
Packing was good. Delivery was fast. User friendly, plug and play. Very good build quality.
MikroTik lives up to its fame. Powerful features packed into a tiny but capable box for less than $100. Customisation and support is enterprise-level by a certified network / security engineer with deep knowledge, service is prompt and effective. Apprehension allayed, VPN gateway up and routing load alleviated from wireless. Cheers !!!
