Performance even with a realistic set of firewall rules is excellent, and you have the power to do incredibly sophisticated routing with this little box
Performance-wise multiple iperf tests across the switch performed as good as or better than the Linksys EA3500 switch

Fantastic performance at the fraction of the price you pay for the big brands.
These little routers perform great in our datacenter hosted machines as well as at offices
I have it connected to a Tenda wifi router set to AP mode and my network has not felt so stable in a long time!PS the Mikrotik accepts any power supply of the correct polarity between 8v and 30v, it comes with a 24v power
I used this along with a WAP to replace an old ASUS router, and so far the network has been much more stable and running cooler than the old system
Yes UPNP is a security risk, we all know it, but on a properly secured network it's not that much of a risk at all, and at the end of the day if you're setting this up for your family and not a business, you want stuff like media streaming to work flawlessly, not be fixing stuff all the time
Very helpful is the fact that it has a microSD slot and a USB port, so I can add 16 GB of "disk" (using a high-endurance microSD card targeted towards dash cams) and run "The Dude" which is their free network management tool
This plus the TM-AC1900 as AP will give you a great network
This router has many advanced features and good price, but it is definitely not for the beginner user.
The price is reasonable enough to put the router between the home network and the cable or other network provider, or even to use more than one to nicely partition larger home installations
This is a great product for IT enthusiasts to play with and set up in their home lab such a fantastic price for some a robust and powerful router.

For users with very fast connections and are only in the market for a router capable of the required speed, the default config from the wizard should provide a solid NAT firewall with very little overhead
It's firewall is extremely robust, and has far more capability than the average user will ever need.
Love this little beast - works out of the box as a basic, fast router and firewall.

It looks like this particular piece of hardware will be powerful enough to support a 300 Mbps WAN used by a small office with 1 remote VPN user
I've been using comparably priced Dlink/Belkin/Linksys routers for over a decade at home and this is the first router I enjoy using
Firmware updates are easy on this router using the WebGUI, and if you disable the Winbox administration port (TCP 8192), most of the known vulnerabilities shouldn't be a concern

A big thing for me is support for a VPN server that will work with iOS, OS-X and Android (L2TP/IPsec)
The only bad thing is it's DDNS service isn't as great as Asus's.
5 stars if you can get it to work, (and does if not doing fancy things
I had just about decided on buying an Intel NUC to build a Linux/BSD router a la the recent Ars Technica articles when I finally noticed that a lot of people (including Ars) had many nice things to say about Mikrotik
The most annoying thing it's missing is that it does not register DHCP clients in its DNS forwarder
