MikroTik Cloud Router Switch 354-48G-4S+2Q+RM, CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+RM (354-48G-4S+2Q+RM with RouterOS L5 License)

I am quickly becoming a mikrotik fanboy. This is my second switch from mikrotik and let me tell you it does not disappoint. I wanted some extra ports for my low speed interconnects and had such good luck with the 100g switch I decided to not go the ubiquity route that everyone and their brother are doing. I did a fair amount of research on this before adding it to my rack and everything seemed to indicate that this switch was a screamer. Let me go on record that this is NOT the case. I even bought fans to swap in here but this guy is as quiet as you please. Setup is painless and the UI is easy to pickup and configure. I have this running with one 40g qsfp+ port back to the 100g switch and one 10g sfp+ to my other 10g switch.All in I love this switch and will continue to buy from this brand as they are knocking it out of the park here.

There hasn't been many days where I am not cursing ever placing an order for this overpriced piece of junk. My internet upstream is about 1/5 to 1/4 the speeds plugged directly into the modem. The CPU on this thing ramps to 100% when running a speed test, yet everything in the configuration says it's "hardware offload". Even now, I was closing windows and accidentally clicked something - I have no clue what - and it knocked half my network offline. Maybe I'll recoup some of the cost if I charged people to beat the thing with a sledge hammer, because at least then I'll get some amusement out of this thing.
