They're a powerful tool that lets you shopt off your foot and half your brains with the same bullet. However, this my router isn't compromised. MikroTik routers can easily be misconfigured to be insecure or misbehave. It's a Cisco clone, so that is the product you're buying.

I don't recommend them to anyone who doesn't enjoy and are familiar with the lower-level intricacies of network operations.
