Is an OS (operating system) that is used to manage or manage a network
that is installed on a computer that makes the computer function like a
router.
It doesn't require a high spec computer to be able to install a MikroTik RouterOS, just a minimum of 200MB RAM and a minimum Pentium 1 processor, the computer can already be installed with MikroTik OS and is ready to be a router and can manage the connected network.
To install Mikrotik OS, just download the trial ISO file at mikrotik.com and it can be used for only 24 hours, or you can buy a Mikrotik OS CD as well as a license at the official Mikrotik store or on Citraweb.
Mikrotik routerboard
Is,
a proxy output device in the form of hardware that has components such
as RAM, ROM, PROCESSOR, and MEMORY FLASH. Inside the routerbord has
also been planted with the MikroTik RouterOS and also the official
license from the MikroTik. Routerbord is one type of router that serves
to connect different networks.
There are so many advantages when managing a network using a proxy r outerboard compared to using a router os. Among them:
