    I got a lot of exposure to MikroTik’s route/switch devices when I worked at a WISP and really came to love them.

    Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki

    I know what you meant when you said “Wireless”, but I’m going to go with Siklu for their Kilo EtherHaul 70/80GHz radios that can no shit do 10Gbps links up to like 10 miles in ideal conditions.

      Yeah we use a fair bit of Mikrotik as well. They’re great for the price, and work well as long as you stick to what they’re good at.
