<p>Sometimes surprises come when you least expect them. A few months ago, I helped an acquaintance install a <a href="/tags/mikrotik/" rel="tag">#MikroTik</a> router at his house. He is very happy with it; it does excellent load balancing and failover over 4G. <br>A little while ago, he sent me a message about how "Back to Home" helped him bypass the limited connection at the hotel he is currently in.</p><p>I hadn't tried it yet, so I did a couple of tests. </p><p>It's really practical and quick to set up. Well done, MikroTik! <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mikrotik.social/@mikrotik" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mikrotik</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="/tags/networking/" rel="tag">#Networking</a> <a href="/tags/vpn/" rel="tag">#VPN</a></p>

Right that's me ordered a <a href="/tags/mikrotik/" rel="tag">#MikroTik</a> cAP ax. I've only ordered one for now which will replace the UniFi AC Pro that is mounted on the upstairs landing ceiling. If I feel I need another once I'm happy with the first one then I'll fit it in the living room as I've cables run there too.<br>

Well this wasn't due until tomorrow. Guess I've a new toy to play with now a Mikrotik cAP AX.<br><a href="/tags/mikrotik/" rel="tag">#Mikrotik</a> <a href="/tags/homelab/" rel="tag">#HomeLab</a><br>
So I've got my <a href="/tags/mikrotik/" rel="tag">#Mikrotik</a> cAP ax mounted and the <a href="/tags/unifi/" rel="tag">#UniFi</a> equipment removed from my <a href="/tags/homelab/" rel="tag">#Homelab</a> successfully. I've also integrated it into <a href="/tags/homeassistant/" rel="tag">#HomeAssistant</a> just because with it's own user and group using the api. So far so good and yes there are a lot of settings in the MikroTik and it takes some understanding but I got there in the end. Even upgraded it and made backups. 😁<br>
