Powerfull, one mikrotik routerboard has many function and also cheap less ! With that tools you can save a lot of money from your pocket. What is mikrotik can do for your network ?
First time I see it in Warnet (A little house which you can rent internet connection from it). When I talk to the admin, “What device that you use in this warnet ?”. “I use mikrotik” he said. He only use one PC as a to control 20 users. Hmm.. I feel curious and then I find information about it. What is mikrotik feature ? It can use as :
- Router
- Bridge
- QoS
- Firewall
- Web Proxy
- Wireless Connection

Powerfull right ? You just need one PC with 2 LAN card put on it and Install Mikrotik OS inside. The best OS license (level 6) price is only Rp 2.000.000. Is it cheap enough right ?
For the configuration you can use Winbox for the easy. But if you like command prompt, you can also connect by command line terminal by telnet or ssh protocol.
