So i need some input.
I think to replace my unify gear for european / open source one.

And i heavily hesitate between an opensource router with opnsense (from eu).

Or a mikrotik router.

Can any #network or #mikrotik #opensense #pfsense user give me any input.

Also does the one you own provide update / system update to EU server (even as mirror).

i need multiple wifi AP that share the same network

Thanks

@lexinova that being said it is only a matter of proper configuration to get reliable roaming on any equipment. Key is to NOT turn transmit power up to max., thereby preventing clients from selecting the best AP.

The newer Mikrotik devices have much better radio interfaces now and are well usable.

There is little wrong with buying other devices and putting Openwrt on them. I just don't really want to support manufacturers shipping shitty software.

2/2
