Best mikrotik router for a home network - where to start?

Hey guys, Thinking about switching to Mikrotik for my home network. Heard good things, but kinda lost in all the options. I've got about 100Mbps internet and maybe 10-15 devices. Nothing too crazy, just want something reliable that I can tinker with a bit. Any recs?

Hope you like reading manuals lol. Nah but for real, they're solid. Check out the hEX. Does the job for most homes.

+1 for the hEX. Using one myself, no complaints. Just be ready for a learning curve.

You sure about Mikrotik for home use? Unless you're into networking, might be overkill. Why not stick with something simpler?

Mikrotik's not that bad. Yeah, it's different, but that's half the fun. s_area, if you like tinkering, you'll love it.

If you want something beefier, look at the RB4011. It's the best Mikrotik router for home use if you ask me. Bit pricey though.
