Agreed. A carpenter once told me that some tools require more skill than other tools to use properly and get the desired results. This isn’t meant as a jab towards anyone, but I feel is an honest truth. I know there are several tools in my bag that I wish I was more skilled with…MikroTik included.
The RouterBoard capacitor issue was a pain, but I believe they determined it was a counterfeiting issue and not a design problem. They received a large batch of capacitors that were not up to the specifications they should have been. As compared to many wireless operators here we don’t deploy a bunch of these boards, so I can appreciate the heartache some must be going through as these boards with bad capacitors fail slowly over time. BTW, I think if you look at the board you can visually tell if it has counterfeit capacitors or not. Pretty sure the green colored caps are the bad ones and the brown ones are good.

But we are happy with it, No way we could have grown our company to this level on Cisco or Juniper since we rely heavy on VPLS and Mikrotik has allowed us to use it economically Gino A.

You can't honestly expect support to exceed that of Mikrotik. Features are better in Mikrotik. Price doesn't have a huge gap between them. Not exactly sure how you've had them running for months when they haven't even started shipping. Unless you got a beta unit or something, which is probably not the same product that you'd buy from a distributor. Simple question: What does the Ubiquiti router have over my Mikrotik? Now what's the answer...

I have both MT and UBNT devices that have been up without missing a beat since they last had firmware upgraded 9+ months ago. Now I know UBNT will have big shoes to fill if they plan on unseating Mikrotik, but give them a couple years and I think they'll be alright. I likely won't use the first generation in production. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 4:56:10 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti ERLite-3 3-port Router I have no reason to buy them at all. They're going to be less reliable than Mikrotik (which is really really bad) and not be as good software wise. Where does this device fit? Their ad suggests it is to replace a Cisco. Ya right.
