RouterOS is an operating system from MikroTik, primarily designed for network hardware based on RouterBOARD and used to manage routers. It is also possible to install the system on a personal computer compatible with i386 architecture, thus turning it into a router.

The system supports a large number of protocols and network interfaces, allowing you to use the computer, depending on the purpose, as a firewall, VPN server, FTP server, proxy server, wired or wireless access point and much more. The user is provided with a selection of the desired components during installation. The WinBox graphical utility is used for configuration; besides, there is a possibility to access settings through the web-interface or SSH terminal, as well as through serial COM-port and HyperTerminal. On the official website there is a large amount of documentation, which developers maintain up to date.

RouterOS offers robust network control with customizable components, supporting various protocols and network interfaces.

It should be noted that RouterOS is installed on a clean hard drive and cannot work as a second operating system (for example, with Windows). A properly configured program does not require the constant presence of an administrator, and demonstrates good fault tolerance and reliability in standalone operation.

I have been using RouterOS software for several years now and I must say that it has been a great experience so far. The software is very reliable and robust, which allows me to configure my network with ease. The GUI is also very intuitive and easy to use and I have been able to quickly configure my router without much trouble. The interface allows me to quickly troubleshoot any issues that I may have. The software also provides a lot of options such as firewall rules, QoS, bandwidth control, and more. I also appreciate the ability to configure my router through a command line interface. All in all, it has been a great experience and I am quite satisfied with the results.
