So i need some input.
I think to replace my unify gear for european / open source one.

And i heavily hesitate between an opensource router with opnsense (from eu).

Or a mikrotik router.

Can any #network or #mikrotik #opensense #pfsense user give me any input.

Also does the one you own provide update / system update to EU server (even as mirror).

i need multiple wifi AP that share the same network

Thanks

I had Mikrotik APs, it was terrible, my phone kept losing connection, handover between APs caused long delays, and of course it had the famous Mikrotik UI.

I switched to Ubiquiti and the problems are gone.

I use a Mikrotik wired routers and switches at work and they're fine, no complaints, but if you never interacted with their UI or CLI, watch some tutorial before you buy, because it's not in everyone's taste.

I have OPNSense as a VM and it looks easy enough to use, updates work fine, I never tried pushing it beyond the features it has built in though.

@RheumatoidArthritis ubiquiti us out the windows, to much reliance on US it's an unnaceptable risk in 2025 due to their orange nazi betrayal

Yeah, noticed that in your post. Consider this my comment on the quality of Mikrotik wireless devices.

[โ€“] lexinova@toot.community 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

@RheumatoidArthritis this issue is fixed by the Wifi spec V6 (aka Wifi 6) Fast roaming, that prevent package drop and fast move from one AP to another.

[โ€“] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

What about the case when the devices just dropped wifi when not moving? It was just a shit AP, a cheap linksys e3000 that I used before didn't have the problem.
