What about using just a CRS305-1G-4S+IN as a direct replacement for the USG3P? It's not like the USG is at all powerful?
Uplink to my 16 port Switch then use the 4 SFP+ for a 2.5g WAN and 3 x 10gbe LAN?
Could I configure it like that in the RouterOS?

You can configure it, definitely and see @Caged‘s previous comments about the routing capabilities of the Mikrotik CRS devices.

Interesting, hadn't seen anywhere who had any stock. What version of RouterOS is it running?

MikroTik RouterOS 7.5 (c) 1999-2022Associate
The amount of options are mind bending!
Associate
I think you can upgrade your packages and routerBOARD firmware to 7.6 stable now.
Associate
Thanks I'll take a look, I'm waiting for my SH5 to turn up on friday, hopefully I'll be a little more comfortable by then to move everything over at the weekend.
Associate
We ordered it way before the AX3 came out. We also only have 200/20. The AX2 will be replacing a WDR3600 with openwrt just for the 2.4g, I also have another A7 as my main TV point switch/wifi which gives 300Mbps. The long term plan is to get an AX3 later on if we upgrade to faster speeds. we don't have any internal big speed needs 1G is enough. The SH5 is just pure curiosity! It's also my first venture into MikroTik for learning what it has to offer.
I guess we can extend the MikroTik family as and when if we like it.
Associate
Any wise words would be appreciated before I dive in and try to auto-update this Hap AX2 to the latest RouterOS 7.6 as of writing.
I got my config backed up safe and sound.

The simple way is from Winbox, system - packages - check for updates, then download and install. Then reboot, then system - routerBOARD, upgrade and reboot, then you should be golden.

Just picked up a cheeky SRJ10 from the auction site. Don't understand why they are so hideously expensive for an SFP>Copper converter in general but this will allow me to hook my B660 board into the CRS326 and at least get 2.5Gb into my network now (yes I have multigig on the backbone so it's not going to waste).
Am really tossing up at the moment though, got a Dell R210 (E3-1220L) running ESXi with a CHR. Built with the intention of doing some really precise queueing but then have taken the lazy option and gone FQ_CoDel on my PPPoE interface not that it ever fills up.
Also have a Hex R3 which is sitting doing nothing and I can't help but think is the power draw worth it for the R210?
Nothing is broken so I get there's no need to fix it and the resale of the R210 is probably non existent but yeah.... hardware struggles.

I must say I was a little worried how it might go! I didn't even have time to sip on a cup of coffee and BOOM it was all done.
I think they have the balance right here and most (tech savy) people could install this device without much trouble. I did find things like webfig doesn't WoW me. Also Winbox (Snap) on ubuntu (tried apt as well) just doesn't give the same pop back up experience that the Windows version does. No great shakes... it works. What else - oh yes the 5G fell over about 4 times in 12 hours. Need to look a little harder now I've updated.
The QOS It just works. As a first time buyer/User We are happy and would buy again, great product so far.
So before I go down this rabbit hole, Is it worth enabling containers and moving my pi-hole over to the AX2, not sure of space etc/ 90MB remaing logs.... blah, or just leave that for a bigger device.
Associate
I have a pi-hole container set up on my Mikrotik 5009 running ROS7.6, that has the 1GB of ram, I run the pi-hole on a 32GB Sandisk cruzer usb stick. Last time I checked I had 550MB of ram free on the set up. I used the info from Network Berg's Youtube video and Mikrotik wiki info to get it set up and unning nicely. I have my wireguard VPN set on my little hAP lite, this is just used for online streaming over the 2.4ghz wifi and fast ethernet for my HTPC.
Associate
@Super Tigers
From watching that Video the answer is NO, the device doesn't have a USB port and also the docker image is 500MB.
Associate
The hAP AX2 does have a 1GB of ram, the same as my 5009 but I thought they would have stuck a USB port on it for external containers. I was all set to get a hAP AX2 as well but not having a USB port is a major drawback.
