I am the perfect candidate. I should be a beta tester for mikrotik LOL. New to mikrotik learning to program the hex and wanting to add a touch of security to my home scenario. I have a mix of android boxes, nintendo, appleTV, multiple brand Wifi routers acting as AP/switches, need for guest wifi, Nest smoke alarm, Samsung Smart things hub with remote pucks (whatever one calls them), skybell hd doorbell video, Arlo Hub with vidcams, a Solar Cell reporting device, a septic panel, and multiple printers all spread out. (almost forgot a bunch of NAS boxes, and a VOIP modem).
Some of these devices only are able to use B/G/N so AC or A only does one no good.
Thus I will need VLAN capable devices with multiple SSIDs.
Whether the UNIT comes defaulted one way or another matters little to me as long as there is granularity to program the wifi as it is needed.
In other words, i want to be able to direct the wifi, not necessarily have it all decided automatically by the unit.
<b>Further, to be able to program the wifi EVEN IF NOT USING THE ROUTING functionality. Still VLAN capable (aka like a managed switch) and still multi SSID capable. </b>
Finally, use a different wifi then whats on the hap AC2 ;-P
Note: I plan on replacing all my mixed bag of wifi routers acting as APs with the hap AC2 when issues are resolved.
