Yoban:

 

When I went down the Unifi path as I had APs already (now on LTS after 6 years) (router/switch/ap), I was looking at mikrotik (following GZ suggestions), but being beginner level of networking, mikrotik looked challenging to configure etc.

 

The key to Mikrotik is security, understanding how firewall and SNAT/DNAT rules work

there is a good article on security here https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Securing_Your_Router
