The RB5009 MikroTik is a perfect home router, compact, powerful, with multiple power options and efficient cooling. It features 9 wired ports and USB 3.0. Seven of the ports are Gigabit Ethernet, another is 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and the last one is a 10G SFP+ cage. All ports are connected to a powerful Marvell Amethyst family Switch chip with a 10-Gbps full-duplex line leading to the quad-core Marvell Armada ARMv8 1.4 GHz processor. Both the CPU and the switch-chip are located at the bottom of the board, so the case acts as a heat-sink!

The machine is simply very powerful. We got it at a beach bar with a lot of people from the beginning of summer, it worked perfectly and didn't get stuck at all. Extremely satisfied as in its previous case (I had an older model). Of course, you need to deal with the technical part, otherwise, it's better to have a technician set it up for you, but this obviously happens with every device! I recommend it!
My first contact with MikroTik and RouterOS. I will repeat what applies to all MikroTik products, it is a very big school and it puts you abruptly in the world of networks, it requires a lot of reading and involvement to set it up, good contact with the terminal, although there is also the WinBox application which can run with Wine and on non-Windows Operating Systems.
I have had it for about a month and I have managed the following:
1. Set up VLANs in the network to separate traffic between smart devices (smart switches, washing machines, etc.), the standard network of personal devices, and some corporate servers and laptops, in collaboration with some managed switches.
2. Put the provider's router in bridge mode and make the pppoe connection through the Mikrotik.
3. Reduce bufferbloat from rank D to A directly with the installation of Mikrotik, and then to A+ by enabling SFQ queues. Now the line does not "clog" no matter what happens simultaneously, with downloading, multiple streaming, and the ping remains low at 3-10ms.
4. Wireguard VPN connection to a known VPN provider, with routing rules that send only the traffic from specific devices (e.g. Smart TV) to a secondary routing table for wireguard traffic, in combination with firewall rules that block ipv6 traffic and assign specific DNS servers of the VPN provider to avoid DNS leaks.
5. Setting up a LAG group with 4 ethernet connections between the Mikrotik and the central switch, in order to have traffic balancing and not create a bottleneck for the entire network through 1 ethernet connection.
Things I am working on and have not yet managed to set up correctly:
1. Load Balancing between the fiber optic router and another router with a 4G connection that does not support bridge mode.
2. Using the VPN tunnel only for traffic to specific hostnames/websites - maintaining a dynamic list of IP addresses that resolve to those specific hostnames through a script that runs periodically.
In general, it has a very sturdy construction, does not heat up much, does not make noise, and has very good specs both in computing power and in the number of connections it supports. It is highly recommended for power users who want to upgrade their network and have absolute control over their traffic.
