MikroTik hAP ax3 US Version - Wi-Fi Router, 802.11AX, Dual-Band, 4x Gigabit Ethernet, PoE-In & PoE-Out, WPA3, USB 3.0, US Version

The Best Router I have ever owned, period. I have owned "top of the line" ASUS, and other routers. This router makes those look like tinker toys for toddlers. If you like to "click here, click there, click here, click there", then this router is NOT for you. If you want to understand, or understand how firewalls really work, how VPN works, etc, then this is the router for you. If you want to customize all the things, this router is for you. If you want to "point and click" and like a shiny interface, with crappy software, running crappy hardware , on an ancient 2.6 kernel, with all the CVEs to match, then do not get this router. If you want support for more than 1 yr, get this router. If you are happy with shiny interfaces, clicky here, clicky there, and "magic", then do not get this router. In short, if you are a linux user, get this router.

Tiene bastante potencial tanto en procesador y ram, el único inconveniente es el almacenamiento. Se siente muy fluida la navegación, es excelente para bajar la latencia en juegos competitivos de consola (obviamente configurándolo). El único detalle que vi es que la potencia de la señal 2.4Ghz es muy alta, al grado de interferir con otros dispositivos, tuve que bajar un poco la potencia Fuera de eso es un excelente equipo 👌🏽 Anteriormente tenia contratada una IP publica para acceder por VPN, ahora con Back to Home de Mikrotik, ya puedo tener una VPN mediante WireGuard sin costo adicional

I’m extremely satisfied with this MikroTik router. It is a truly high-professional piece of hardware that offers stability and features usually found only in much more expensive enterprise gear. I know many reviews warn about the steep learning curve of RouterOS, but I want to highlight that it’s not nearly as difficult as some people describe. In the age of AI assistants, configuring this device has become straightforward. With a guidance from AI, you can unlock its full potential without being a certified network engineer. Pros: - Rock-solid stability: Once it’s set up, you can practically forget it exists. - Professional features: Complete control over every aspect of your network. - Great value: Enterprise-level performance at a consumer-friendly price. Cons: - Functional but Dated UI: The management interface (WinBox) is incredibly powerful but looks very old-school. It’s built for efficiency, not aesthetics. - Limited "Out-of-the-box" Ecosystem: If you’re used to consumer routers with sleek mobile apps and one-click parental controls, you’ll find MikroTik a bit "spartan." You have to manually configure features that other brands might automate. If you want a "set it and forget it" device that doesn't compromise on power, don't let the old "too complex" complaints scare you off. Highly recommended!

Excellent product probably - but don't buy it from Al-Mahara in UAE. Place a hAP ac3 in the box, not an ax3 - now too late to return.

Have had it up and running a couple weeks now with no issues. Purchased to add to my network and give me more control over access, firewall rules, traffic monitoring. Very configurable. Simple setup out of the box works ok, but for the rest of the settings if you are not into networking and know what they do, this might be a bit overwhelming to you.
