Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN replacement for Cisco 891W-AGN-A-K9 - will the "teapot" cope?

Question

network hardware

Hello. The task is to organize a home network - the apartment has at least 5 devices connected via twisted pair, but there are enough wi-fi clients. Worth Mikrotik - ( Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN ) - works fine, but I would like 5 GHz. I was looking for devices with a number of LAN ports from 6 - I found several options, alas, all of them are not cheap, but I saw they sell used Cisco - ( Cisco 891W-AGN-A-K9 ). Will I, an ordinary user, be able to cope with this device, or is the tsiska an object for the worship of the elite?

PS Please do not advise to install a bunch of switch / access point - I want one device.

Answer 1

It's better for you to know whether you can handle the cisco or not, it all depends on your desire :)

Answer 2

With a cisco, you won’t know until you try it, otherwise you can just take cAP ac and use a capsman to hook it up to your existing micro.

Answer 3

Set up is not an issue. The question is more that how much this tsiska costs that? They ask for 60+ for new ones, Avito businessmen often try to give used iron almost at the price of a new one.
If you really need all in one, then why not take 4011 with a radio?

Answer 4

Cisco 891W-AGN-A-K9 is not difficult to set up, but I would not recommend making a replacement. It is better to use two devices, cisco as wifi which bridges traffic to the local network (not NAT) and mikrotik as before (just a router and disable WIFI on it). As a home point to level the enterprice, I would recommend something from ruckus, such as r300. The settings here are minimal, everything is simple.
Do not look that Ruckus does not have external antennas) they have their own patented technology of an omnidirectional internal antenna + beamFlex (signal amplification towards the client, which others do not offer for such a price).
