Mikrotik is amazing, for what you get. But of a learning curve but worth the effort, I've seen large scale wireless networks crossing mountains with their kit.

I setup a small wisp using mikrotik kit for a few neighbours, it worked well in the end, but the learning curve was immense unless you have a strong networking background. I'd setup and used openwrt before for a domestic router and this was another level of complexity to get basically functional compared to that. Thst said the level of customizabilty and scripting (albeit in a weird language) you can do is immense, so for a true power user with a lot of time on their hands, it's a good option

I am not a fan of Mikrotik, the UI is not nice and the defaults are not smart. I have seen professionals make mistakes on them several times.

Don't bother using whatever the hardware ships with, just install and use OpenWRT.

I personally love the UI. It's basically a very readable 1:1 map of the CLI
