$382 for the MikroTik RB5009UPr+S+IN is a great deal considering this PoE unit is a similar price as what the non-PoE unit (RB5009UG+S+IN) usually goes for.
The next cheapest price I've found for the RB5009UPr+S+IN was from Amazon US via Amazon AU for $502.53 delivered.
The RB5009UPr+S+IN may be overkill for your regular user but there is an Android/iOS app but I havent used it so maybe someone else can comment.
I might be worth it if you need/want…

this was not something i expected to come up on ozbargain at all.
For what it's worth I usually buy my mikrotik gear from duxtel (IT business) but when stocks are short I've bought from these guys and they've been great.
The android app is decent.
However I'm going to say that if you aren't in the field of IT do not buy this. Even if you are and you don't have a thorough understanding of how networks operate at a low level you're going to have a horrible time with this.
They are amazingly feature rich, so customizable and amazing value for money. However they do not hold your hand through this process in the slightest.
Need to setup bandwidth management? Well you'd better be quite familiar with mangle rules, the mikrotik way of using queues etc.
Need to forward a port? Add a rule to the correct chain in the firewall, add a nat rule to forward traffic to where you need to go.
The second one isn't overly complex, but 99% of users just want to jam the IP and port number in and call it a day.
TLDR: I wouldn't use anything else, but if you're reading this chances are you don't have my skillset and won't have a good time.
