		fennecfoxy 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ubiquiti launches UniFi OS Server for self-hosting RouterOS does feel a little clunky for sure, but you can configure _everything_. And once it's set up, it works beautifully and consistently. Ubiquiti's routers to me just seem to be prosumer routers with an "enterprise" UI on top. Whereas Mikrotik genuinely offer an enterprise experience (also still great for home) with the boring, drab, absurdly functional UI to back it up. Ubiquiti looks beautiful; but you can't do anything with it.

True, but kinda my point (as sibling said): I don't need everything. Some NAT, some DHCP, some Firewall. And Ubi is easily enough for everything.

Mikrotik is like Linux and Ubiquiti is like Mac
