I am writing this article referencing my router (connected to the Internet) and a spare (courtesy of my work, Far Edge Technology). Going down this road with Mikrotik is possible (eg: hEX plus BaseBox or wAP), but a bit too complex for this article. It is actually very common in commercial grade gear to have a separate router and access point. Mikrotik have a rather limited selection of routers with integrated WiFi. I’ll list some other features at the end, but the above is enough to get you off the ground.

The following core functionality will be shown in detail: To configure, from scratch, a Mikrotik router (such as the RB2011UiAS or hAP) as a home router. Hence, I want to share how to convert to Mikrotik.


There were three main criteria in my purchase:īut it was definitely not a simple process to get the Mikrotik up and going. Mostly, it was a reaction to my negative experience with home grade routers. I’ve been using a Mikrotik router ( RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN) for several years. For extra geek status, and a superior router.
