MikroTik RouterBOARDs are known for their flexibility and customization options. Users can configure them to suit a variety of networking needs, from basic home routers to complex enterprise-grade network appliances.
What is a RouterBOARD ?
A Routerboard is the printed circuit board (PCB) that connects and integrates various hardware components, allowing them to communicate with each other and function as a cohesive unit.
MikroTik's RouterBOARD series offers a range of boards designed specifically for building routers, switches, and other network appliances.
What can a RouterBOARD be used for ?
The boards are designed in a compact form factor, making them suitable for use in small network devices or embedded systems. They integrate various components essential for networking, such as Ethernet ports, optical ports, wireless interfaces (Wi-Fi), USB ports, miniPCIe expansion slots, SIM slots.
Depending on the specific model, boards may feature CPUs ranging from basic to powerful multicore processors. These CPUs handle tasks such as routing, firewalling, and network management.
Models equipped with built-in wireless interfaces, supporting various wireless standards like 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, allow them to function as wireless access points, wireless bridges, or mesh nodes.
