Mikrotik produces powerful equipment for advanced users with affordable prices. It’s similar to Linux in a way - you can modify almost anything, but don’t expect it’s going to work good out of a box. When I’ve bought MikroTik hAP ax³ I was disappointed with low performance and lack of band steering (devices were stuck on 2.4 Ghz if got connected to it). After quite some sleepless evenings I got it working in a good way, so clients have decent speed, connect to 802.11ax and use widest band width (there were problems with intel AX210, that some devices would not connect to 802.11ax but use 802.11n, some would use only 40mhz instead of 80mhz, and some would ignore 5Ghz completely). ...
