I love my MikroTiks. Even the $22 "hAP lite" is a fantastic home WiFi router option, and comes with all the functionality a hacker could want.
My MikroTik's fantastic reliability (48d uptime, and that was b/c I accidentally pulled the power cord), combined with a queue policy to throttle bandwidth to avoid my ISP's humongous queues, makes me feel sorry for others whenever I hear them complain about their router always crashing, or Netflix causing Minecraft to lag.

Exactly. There are a few MikroTik routers for less than $60. They are all rock solid and full of functionality, including watchdog timer.

Does MikroTik have something against gigabit Ethernet? Even the $20-30 routers from other companies include it these days.
