Well, this was a surprise. Decided to run a simple LAN ping test between two of my access points, and the results were not what I expected.
Contender 1: The "mighty" Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite
Contender 2: The tiny MikroTik mAP Lite
The winner? By a long shot, the MikroTik! It showed much better stability and lower latency.
The Stats:
- MikroTik: Avg 8.2ms / Jitter 10ms
- Ubiquiti: Avg 15.4ms / Jitter 32.1ms
Goes to show that size isn't everything in the world of networking.

I don't own a device from MikroTik yet, but followed reports by tech people who swear by the price / performance / quality ratio of this devices.
My next Wi-Fi router will most definitely be MikroTik. Same with my next managed switch that will have 2.5 Gbit
