I've often heard that #MikroTik rocks in terms of small routers, etc. and I finally got around to purchasing a new hAP for €30, the intention being to use it for demoing #ansible stuff on "a router"
I don't understand 11/10ths of what the device has to offer, but 5m after unboxing Ansible was talking to the device.
Ten minutes later I yak shave when finding the iot package which allows the router to be an #MQTT client (pub & sub). Not the foggiest idea what to do with that, but it's very cool!
