As of this afternoon, my home Wi-Fi network is (once again) being managed by the old MikroTik Cap AC mounted on a wall. The last time I tried it, it worked well, but some peripheral areas seemed to have poor coverage (compared to the Ruckus r650 I normally use). I still have three of these MikroTiks, which were my access points about six years ago (and up until almost two years ago). With the wave2 drivers, just one of them now covers the entire house.
What amazes me is how a firmware update has revolutionized the device's experience. It consumes a fraction of the [power of the] Ruckus and, at the moment, it doesn't make me miss it.
Will I keep it running? Maybe not, at least not in the long run. I have the Ruckus; it probably wouldn't make sense to leave it switched off. Furthermore, when FTTH arrives, it will be a bottleneck. But the freedom these devices provide, even just at the scripting level, is truly remarkable.
