The router stands out in build quality as well as in software features and configurability. The exterior in metal case is quite sturdy and the entire product feels solid. A nice touch is the small TFT touch display that helps configuring the router in the absence of a host plugged to one of its ports (it can be disabled). Its red color is quite discrete and the only drawback to me is the ultra bright poweron blue LED (why everything needs to have a blue LED these days?!?) The eight port switch (four 1Gb and four 100Mb ports) grants flexibility to connect my various desktops, NAS and the network printer without requiring an external switch. The wireless has a great range, reaching the outskirts of my house without dropped connections. It supports B/G/N 2.4GHz, which gives good compatibility with my older wireless devices. 5GHz is not supported with the model I have. The RouterOS is a full featured combination of router and firewall that has every single setting in the world and then some. The configuration is neatly arranged in the quick settings main screen with basic features such as the SSID, password, encryption settings, etc. The advanced settings is fully featured, with the most significant features in my opinion: - Abilty to set specific IP addresses to certain hosts. Great for the printer and the NAS as their access is not impaired even during power transitions. - Very long list of MAC filtering addresses, which helps give an yet another level of security. - Very long list of websites and TCP ports that can be blocked or restricted. - Excellent ability to block external routing for certain hosts. And the most important of all: the routing software is being maintained and kept up-to-date for many years. A far cry from the regular consumer routers that are dropped by the manufacturer after a few years on the market. All this configurability is not for the beginner, though. Also, the interface is somewhat dry and intricate. Fortunately the manufacturer has extensive documentation. An excellent router that meets the ever evolving and dangerous internet.Read full review

This is a high quality product full of features perfect for advanced home and lab users and small businesses. Whether you are wanting to upgrade from a basic home router or take a small office's network to the next level, this is a great option. Configuration is pretty straightforward and the inclusion of gigabit ports, poe ports, wireless and more make it quite versatile.

The RB2011 is awesome. Strong wireless network, fast bootup and just incredible features. You do need to know how to set them up though as they are complex for new users but once you see the power this little thing has, and the power yo uget over your network you will never look at another Router ever again. For firewall management and routing to device priority you can do it all. Highly highly recommend. Only thing, is dont expect to use the LCD much. Its small and it not the most responsive.

Definitely not a router for your average consumer! Comes with one sheet of instructions that are very vague to say the least! Website is not much help either. Had to give it to my IT guy for setup and programming. In other words it's NOT a plug'n play router. Still waiting to see how it works....... Hope it was worth the money. 🤔
