Hi all,
I just bought a RB750GL yesterday, and am wondering if I may be better off installing OpenWRT on it instead of RouterOS.

My use cases are
1) Have a stable, fast gigabit wired network at home.
2) Run OpenVPN server.
3) Demote my Asus RTN-16 to be a simple WIFI access point.

For these, which do you think is better - RouterOS or OpenWRT ?

From what I see the documentation for is pretty sparse, and I'm finding it hard to get the OpenVPN server going.

RouterOs is special made for the routers and the are verry good.

My vote is strongly in favor of RouterOS over OpenWRT and I have run both.

I will say that openwrt. I dont know how well it work with routerboard but that openvpn implementation in routerOS is more bad joke than anything what you want use.

Does anyone know that is openwrt supported on RB2011? I tired several weeks about one year a go routerboards (3 different model) and after that I give them away with saying that is is free is you promise that I don't use them any more. In that period I collect ~20 different bugs/infuriating features on routerOS.

There is some of them, OpenVPN implementation is just horrible, ospf is buggy, default route selection is buggy also there is conntrack + nat releated problems because of dynamic routes with vpn.
So if I newer ever touch again to routerboards I first check that I can use proper OS with it. OS where I can use proper tools (like real shell, real openvpn, bird).
I think someone routerOS developers now get mad to me and try make tons of arguments defend his "child". I understand that every parent love his child, even ugly one.
I hope that some day MikroTik understand that their hardware is great and it will give much more customers to them if they just start support some proper os on it or open routerOS so that you can use proper tools with it.

i hope that ovpn works fine with RoutrOs 6.11 Mikrotik working on it.
