... a suitable Microtik model to combine 2 vendors, as there is often no connection with the current vendor.
We did something similar (but for load balance) recently, in an office a bit bigger than yours and IT, so with heavy
use things such as git or docker images...
The office has 1 server and 4 desktops. There is a requirement to have a static server address as it is accessed from the outside.
We stopped MikroTik hAP ac², is it suitable for that?
Ours was bigger as in 3 servers, 4 heavy desktops and 4 heavy use laptops and have a lot of services in the cloud, so we settle down for an h AP ac, with better Wifi and a bit more memory.
Still it is a small box, but enough for its job. I liked it so much that I bought another one for home.
My other question is where you can read about its setup - the idea is to have an uninterrupted connection.
What I did is start with a relatively clean configuration, using the "Home AP Dual" as a base. You can "tick" the VPN box, and later use it as a pattern to add more users if you need.
After I gat a basic configuration I switched to ssh and started using
/ export file=config-2018-10-10-01
scp'ing it out and editing by hand to keep the "portions" that I liked. The "explainabilty" and modularity of RouterOS scripting
and the manual
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:TOC are the things that I like most of it, after the price
Tune your firewall if you desire so,

For dual providers I removed ether2 from the bridge, set it up for our second WAN line, using ECMP with masquerade:

(you might prefer a failover, specially if the backup one charges by use). If you second line is a 4G USB stick, instead of removing ether2, plug it, configure and use lte1.
We mostly use dyndns and it works quite well for our needs, but we have some static addresses for some machines.
