Today, I decided to bring one of my MikroTik access points out of the closet, a CAP AC. I used two of them in my home for almost 4 years with no major issues before switching to Omada WIFI6 devices. Later on, I switched to Ruckus, and one of them is now my primary home access point. I managed to reduce from two access points to just one. While one of the Omada units lost signal in far corners of the house, the Ruckus remained stable.
Meanwhile, MikroTik has started supporting wave2, so I decided to give it a test. I removed OpenWRT (which I had installed for testing purposes) and reinstalled RouterOS 7.18. After setting it all up and turning off the Ruckus, I noticed slightly lower coverage compared to the Ruckus, but the stability was comparable, with all the benefits of RouterOS. Definitely a nice surprise, and for me, MikroTik remains a genuinely honest company that continues to update old devices for a long time without imposing artificial limits or paywalls. I use their devices a lot, even for clients, and everyone is very satisfied.
