MikroTik
Carrier-grade routing at a fraction of the cost. RouterOS does everything, and the hardware is priced like it should be.
About MikroTik
MikroTik is not trying to be Cisco. It is trying to give you 90% of what Cisco does at 20% of the cost — and for ISPs, WISPs, and cost-conscious enterprises worldwide, that is exactly the right trade-off. The CCR (Cloud Core Router) series runs the backbone of hundreds of ISPs across multiple continents. The RB5009 has become the standard tower router for wireless internet providers globally.
RouterOS is the reason you buy MikroTik. It is a Linux-based routing and network operating system that supports BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VRRP, PCC load balancing, hotspot management, user-level firewall rules, traffic shaping, and more — on the same software image regardless of which hardware you run it on. A small office RB750 and a large carrier CCR2216 both use the same RouterOS commands, which means your team learns the platform once and applies that knowledge across your entire fleet.
Winbox is the graphical management interface for RouterOS. It provides a drag-and-drop interface for configuring routing, firewall rules, and network services. Most network engineers learn Winbox first, then the CLI — and both are fully capable of anything RouterOS can do.
The hardware quality is genuine. MikroTik makes its own PCBs in Latvia and uses industrial-grade components. CCR routers use Tilera, Freescale, or Marvell network processors that are spec'd for router and switching workloads specifically — not general-purpose ARM chips running network software as an afterthought. The product line ranges from entry-level home routers to high-performance core routers, and they all run the same RouterOS.
Key Benefits
Why Teams Choose MikroTik
Lowest Cost Per Feature
A MikroTik CCR2116 gives you 16-core routing with 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces at a fraction of what a Cisco ASR equivalent would cost. For ISPs and enterprises that need carrier-grade routing without carrier-grade pricing, there is nothing else at this level.
RouterOS Does Everything
BGP, OSPF, RIP, MPLS, VPLS, L2TP, PPPoE server, RADIUS client, hotspot, content filtering, user-level firewall, traffic shaping — it is all in RouterOS. You are not paying extra per feature, and you are not limited by what the vendor decided to license.
Trusted by ISPs Worldwide
MikroTik is the de facto standard for WISPs (Wireless ISPs) and small-to-medium fiber ISPs across the globe. The community knowledge base — forums, online groups, training providers — is one of the largest of any networking vendor.
REST API and Automation
RouterOS has a full REST API and a built-in scripting engine. You can automate configuration backups, dynamic firewall rules, and network monitoring without any third-party software.
Competitive Advantages
What Sets MikroTik Apart
Single CLI Across All Hardware
Whether your team is managing an entry-level home AP or a high-performance CCR2216 core router, the CLI commands are identical. Engineer training applies across your entire infrastructure.
PPPoE and Hotspot Built In
MikroTik has the most capable built-in PPPoE server and hotspot manager in the market. ISPs can run subscriber authentication, bandwidth quota, and billing integration directly on the router without a separate RADIUS appliance.
Hardware-Accelerated Switching
The CRS (Cloud Router Switch) series uses Marvell and Microchip switching ASICs for line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. You get enterprise switching performance at an entry-level price point.
Open Ecosystem, No License Fees
RouterOS features are not locked behind annual license subscriptions. BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VRRP — everything is included in the base license. You pay for the hardware once and the software works indefinitely.
