Reliable connection for all your devices

Stop sharing the frequency with all your neighbours! Strong dual-chain dual-band 2.4/5 GHz wireless for concurrent coverage will solve most interference issues in a crowded environment. You can use the 2.4 GHz channel for older devices and the 5 GHz channel for everything else, since this frequency is less cluttered.

RouterOS – extreme versatility

Run a secure VPN from the office directly to your home, enable parental control, Quality of Service (traffic prioritisation for certain needs, such as streaming), specific firewall rules, IPsec hardware acceleration, VLAN, DHCP, email or SMS notifications, and so on. With RouterOS scripting you can automate a lot, such as:

Modify queues based on bandwidth usage
Complex trigger notifications, such as “Your bandwidth has reached X for Y minutes!”
Backups and setup of additional devices, and so much more!

If you can imagine it, RouterOS can achieve it. You can even install RouterOS on a PC or a virtual machine for even more networking experiments! MikroTik also includes a free handy tool for centralised management of all your wireless MikroTik devices – the CAPsMAN. Unlike traditional controller software, CAPsMAN doesn’t require a separate device to run, it can use any existing RouterOS device in your network.
