Hi Guys,

has anyone had much experience with MikroTik gear?

How does it compare for reliability/functionality with Cisco gear?

Also where is the best place to buy it from?

Any advice, storys or warnings would be welcome....

I know some people that use them as a replacement for Cisco's and they can't stop saying how great they are, especially given the value for money.

Where they buy from I couldn't tell you, though if you're really interested reply back and I'll see what I can dig up for you.

What sort of features are you looking to utilise?

http://www.networkcompany.co.nz/equipment/prices.html <-- These guys have the 'router boards' in New Zealand.

However you can run the Mikrotik OS on most i386 platforms.

We've had good experiences ordering Routerboards from http://www.wifiproducts.com.au
If you're looking for a NZ supplier try http://www.gowifi.co.nz
Otherwise if you just want the software to run on any old PC, its easiest to buy direct from http://www.mikrotik.com
