Home use. Wireless feature unnecessary as I wire-backhaul to 2 Deco M9 Plus.
I am looking into automated failover from primary (1) Unifi (dial out PPPoE) to secondary (2) Huawei B618.
Questions:
(1) I see all Mikrotik 5-port routers have dedicated 1-port WAN. Does this mean I cannot use additional port (s) to achieve multi-WAN?
(2) Mikrotik routers can handle fibre vlan? (already have tp-link vlan switch to (un)tag vlan500 if necessary)
(3) Mikrotik routers can handle DHCPv4? DHCPv6 and/or similar?
(4) Mikrotik routers can do DDNS to any provider? (i use cloudns)
(5) Mikrotik routers have firewall to prevent intrusion from outside?
(6) Mikrotik have access to command line? Is it linux? Can install packages? to run any command?
(7)n Which Mikrotik router is capable of handling 1Gbps fibre? (for future-proof). The Hex?
(w/ tp-link vlan switch, i was already able to use huawei b618 to prioritise dial to unifi and failover to lte-a network. however i was disappointed that the gigabit wan and lan port on b618 was only able to max 171Mbps regardless fibre or lte-a. all cables used during test are CAT6e. replacing b618 back to tm-supplied router was able to get back ~500Mbps as subscribed, so test wasn't influenced by wifi speed.)
1.You can use other port for redundancy.Just need to do additional setup.
2.Yes,it can handle the vlan.
3.Yes.
4.You can write your own script to update the ddns or find online.(As long as the router can run the script,then ddns update is easy work for mikrotik)
5.Yes,u can customize the firewall with very specific rule. Like block a specific ip or ip prefix or only allow a port to access by specific ip or anything.(Mikrotik can setup with any rule)
6.Yes,u can access it with telnet or anyway u like,most people use Winbox-Mikrotik official software/app for mikrotik device.
As for packages,no it does not support any application that not provided by Mikrotik.(But ROS7 is providing Docker functionality,so u can install anything that can work in docker)
