Router Os It's difficult for brginners
The 5009UG+S+ MikroTik RouterBORD was chosen for a home server project to isolate the server from the home network. Thanks to AI getting started was a breeze, BS, freaking nightmare.
Lets look at some basics
so July 2025, it's now Feb 26. turns out that router was a total failure on several levels, i returned one that bricked it's self, the second just decided it wouldn't allow access. In the end, a company from the EU who doesn't stand behind their products, no thanks.
Well that left me with one option , build my own, looking back it never occured to me because it seemed very technical but in the end it turned out to be rather easy, i mean as long as you discount about 100 hours of learning. in the end I have a very strong system, custom config and very strict security.
All running on a 6th gen intel i-5 in a Dell optiplex 35 dollar computer. The build will be posted, i have developed an outstanding user interface with easy to read performance specs, its version 3 now. If you want to see the build and software just ask
