I’ve been wanting to play with the Mikrotik stuff. Seems like they’re trying to cover a pretty wide consumer-enterprise product range.
(Low end of “enterprise” admittedly.)

On the topic of “gone for a year…” I have not touched my ASUS since it was installed, save for the (occaisional, rare) need to cycle the power.
But it has an actual power switch, so even that’s easy! (On the back, not easy to bump, but easy to find and cycle.)
Yep - it’s certainly not Cisco (or HP network gear, perhaps), but I’d buy it over Netgear or TrendNet any day of the week. Reasonably reliable in a wide variety of applications - we had Mikrotik stuff at the WISP that would regularly wrap around the uptime counters in SNMP - something like 450 days or so and we’d get a page that something rebooted only to log in and find everything perfectly fine. That being said, we used such a high volume of products that we did see the odd time where a bad batch made it out of the factory… those were not good days.
C’mon… took me like two minutes.

I got a Ryobi last year for a project. I actually got semi-competent with it. The table we made isn’t perfect, partially due to some design issues, but it does the job.
The biggest thing for routers is the instructions tell you to go a certain way with them: do it! When I tried avoiding this it kicked like crazy. I could actually do mostly straight lines until I messed this up.
Back on topic, finally replaced my FiOS router. New one should be faster, but I’m worried the wifi is actually poorer. May have to move everything over to my Cisco router…
