It is used as the main router behind the provider's device in bridge mode. In terms of hardware, it is truly a beast. It can handle whatever you throw at it - especially for home use, which it is intended for. On the other hand, the software, like all MikroTik products with RouterOS, is not like the "conventional" ones provided by ISPs. It has infinitely more settings (with a recent update, one can even run Docker containers on the device), but it also requires the corresponding knowledge to be utilized.
I decided to buy this particular one because of its good characteristics as an Access Point, but mainly because of the RouterOS software it runs on, which allows you to configure your network with many parameters that I believe few routers offer. Spending a few hours a day experimenting is very interesting, especially if you are interested in networks and want to learn. Having it for just two days, I can say that the installation was easy, there have been no disconnections so far, it is discreet in the space, and it is necessary to have some initial (at least) networking knowledge to handle it!
UPDATE - 01/02/2022: After about 9 months, it has never caused any issues during both Wi-Fi and wired connection usage. Additionally, it is worth buying because it is one of the 4 wireless devices from Mikrotik where the Wi-Fi Wave2 package is available (only in version 7 of RouterOS), which allows you to enable the new WPA3 encryption for Wi-Fi. Also, in the 2.4GHz frequency, it increases the Max Data Rate to 400Mb/s.
