Preamble Anybody who has had a conversation with me about networks probably knows that I’m a bit of a MikroTik fanboy, and for good reason. I am also a long-time user and supporter of OpenWrt which makes my enthusiasm for MikroTik even more significant. Somewhere around 16 years ago I got my first router (TP-Link WR1043ND), my first introduction to OpenWrt, and my first USB-serial cable after accidentally flashing an update to the wrong place and bricking the router. I was amazed at how versatile the platform was, the fact that I could run arbitrary services on my router, limited only by its meagre resources.
