What I'd like to read about is a stable router.

I recently made the mistake of buying a Mikrotik, expecting it to function.

Imagine my surprise when it performed worse than my 2006 consumer router from Netgear.

Even configuring it would cause hangs. Documentation was amateurish, at best. I had to guess at the logic of how it worked - oh, you mean Eth1 is the external interface? Maybe you should document that instead of just writing docs that say "here's how to configure", assuming a singular configuration without telling us you're assuming this.

The worst thing about it - it would just stop working, at all, after 2 days... With one laptop connected to it as a test, and that only being used occasionally. So effectively zero load for two days and it would just stop working.

Garbage.

Sounds like a Layer 8 issue to me.
