I hope Mikrotik has changed their UI/Config functionality. It used to be an absolute atrocity.Quote:

You'll get way better performance from a divorced router/wap system than any integrated hardware. UBNT gear is way easier to work with than Mikrotik, in my experience.
How about a 7x17"? I got deep into ultralarge format photography and platinum/palladium printing. At some point I'll be selling an entire system, from camera to darkroom.Quote:

I use UBNT gear at home, 3 AC-Pro, a USG, a USW-16-PoE switch and run the controller on my server. It's decent gear but good luck get any support from them for low priced gear.Quote:

An uninformed prosumer that updates the USG without due diligence is in for a rude awakening when it doesn't connect to your ISP modem. Hope you have a good backup. Surprisingly some folks just have faith and do updates without verified backups.
I've been contemplating a UXG-Pro, but their feet dragging on fixing issues has put me off some. Otherwise great product. LOL

For most people; they should just run away from the HAP AX2 (lack of dual freq), or just how how complex it is to set up outside a simple primary home router...it has one or 3 features I like; and max wifi speed is not one of them.
Items that need true high speed will not be using this router in a wifi mode. For that I do have a few routers with SPF+ cages if I need real speed. My goal is to get at least 50MB speed; heck, even at 25MB speed I would be happy to use it supporting some of the slower devices connected to this hardware.
Some neat hacker level built in things is the ability to really inspect data streams and chart how much what band / channel is in use.
[added] - unboxed the new router today and ...,
I guess I did not get 2 routers that are 100% the same I guess. I got one locked to US of A and another non-locked. The one I received today was very fast to setup but has a lower license type and was not locked other than some higher end features not supported due to the difference in licenses.
What I really loved is when I spotted my other router (non-wifi) on the neighbors list and logged into that switch. I had a few what the heck until I spotted that I had not logged into the box I thought I was logged in.
The speed test did indicate that the the HapAX3 was as fast if not faster than the Asus hardware. Going to make me go Hmm. The Asus has a much better software interface and has some real useful displays. While the HapAX3 has some real hard core network features built in.
$20 dollar drill press. Motor is strong and bearings are tight. Just need to give it a good scrubbing and soak in some oil on the rusty parts.
