On: Pulling MikroTik into the Limelight Demystifying and Jailbreaking RouterS

[tibbydudeza]

I bought one of the Edgerouters thinking it would tie into their Unifi Web controller interface - no hells bells - got a Mikrotik like device where you need Cisco IOS level of skill to configure.

Got a TPLINK Omada ER605 router now - just as powerful but way easier to configure.

That's giving it too much credit. I have experience with Cisco IOS and NexusOS, and I'll say that Mikrotik's RouterOS was hard.

The funny thing is that when I was big on ubiquiti I always went the other way edgerouter only. mainly because I did not want to get tied into the whole unifi ecosystem.

They sold two versons of their switches and routers, the black ones(good) which were stand alone and the white ones(bad) which depended on the unifi system.

But then again I am also the idiot who ran openbsd on my edgerouters.

You have not used a Mikrotik wifi router in the last 10 years.
