To give you an idea of the power of the Mikrotik devices running RouterOs... here is a slightly outdated network map I made to keep track of how my network is linked up. I could not manage a complicated setup like this without Mikrotik RouterOs devices. My 750G is the centre of my network managing internet accesses for the people linked to me which are allowed out on my 4Mb line. It also keeps my brother-in-law and sisters laptops as being able to connect to anything on my home network, but keeps them apart from my ctwug wireless links.
Red lines are wireless connections. Black are cabled connections.
The Yellow circles are my Ubiquiti wireless devices that link my friend Dave 700m from me into my network so he can access ctwug and the internet through me. I'm getting a second link here to another guy in the Fish Hoek valley later this week, and the 750G will prevent the new guy but allow my friend Dave to get out to the internet. I am expecting a third person in the Fish Hoek valley to link in here in the coming weeks as well.
The green RB-433 box in the bottom left is where my link to the main ctwug group over False Bay is connected. This is where I plan to add another couple links in the future.
Hmm, time to rearrange my network map... running out of space and its going to have to show a couple more links soon. It's also missing a couple links that I've put up in the last week.
