Routers

[preshy360]

Please, I will like to know the major difference between these two routers, on the top is netgear router and on the bottom is Mikrotik router, when my ISP installed wifi in my how they used the Mikrotik router, and it has wireless AP on it but I didn't see any antenna on it. also, I will like to know what makes the other preferable and what are the use case scenarios

the router the isp provided looks ancient

ISP's will likely never give you "great" equipment. They use whatever they have a mass supply of so that troubleshooting and configs are all the same. WIthout looking into any of the actual specs of the two devices I'm 99% sure you're better off plugging your netgear back in.

What mikrotik model did they give you. That's the old hap.

 

Mikrotiks are damn good and external antennas mean nothing

this is the model I was given mikrotik router 951ui 2hnd, I did some digging myself, and asked why the ISP why chose the router, they told me it's because they can run scripts on it, besides that the interface is no "average joe" stuff, saw some videos on youtube, its quite different from other routers, what I wanna know is what sets it apart from the rest of the routers, if you say its so damn good, of which I know to an extent. but I just wanna be clear on what makes it different. thanks
