They are not only inexpensive, but they are extremely reliable. Many Internet caf=C3=A9s in my country use Mikrotik: they put the device in an outdoor box, and stuck it on the pole bearing the wireless antennae connecting the caf=C3=A9 to the ISP. The boxes have endured untold days of heat and cold, and nearly all of them survived to this day (barring some who got hit directly by lightning). The documentation is widely available on the 'net, the CLI is much more intuitive than Cisco IOS, and their features are on a par with the most expensive IOS variant.
