I'm currently routing with MikroTik 2011L and I'm not satisfied at all. I do have just 2 Mbit ADSL and when I tried to limit bandwith of teenagers to 512kbps I've basically put the board down to knees. E.g. it was running, but ping (from me!) went up to several seconds and whole internet was more dead then with teenagers downloading their stuff. This all with up-to-date RouterOS 6.40.6 from Feb 20 2018 to patch latest vulnerabilities in it. So as you have migrated from APU to MikroTik, I plan to do exactly reverse direction as soon as possible with OBSD on top of APU of course...
