MikroTik as a home router

Guest Post: No homelab can be complete without a proper networking setup.
The short version
- Proceed at your own risk! (... it's worth it).
- I’d been thinking about setting up a homelab for a while.
- I wanted to play with my own projects without relying on cloud providers and to have my own storage space to store backups, as cloud storage prices are getting more expensive.
What happened
No homelab is complete without a proper networking setup. Given my experiences of performance and security issues with Internet Service Provider (ISP) routers, I wanted to have better control over the traffic on my home network.
Why it matters
I decided to heavily focus traffic on wired connections, offload Wi-Fi, and ensure connections between devices over the local network are as fast as possible.
