Hardware requirements

• CPU and motherboard - advanced 4th generation (core frequency 100MHz or more), 5th

generation (Intel Pentium, Cyrix 6X86, AMD K5 or comparable) or newer uniprocessor Intel

IA-32 (i386) compatible (multiple processors are not supported)

• RAM - minimum 48 MB, maximum 1 GB; 64 MB or more recommended

• Hard Drive/Flash - standard ATA interface controller and drive (SCSI and USB controllers

and drives are not supported; RAID controllers that require additional drivers are not supported)

with minimum of 64 MB space

Hardware needed for installation time only

• Floppy-based installation - standard AT floppy controller and 3.5'' disk drive connected as the

first floppy disk drive (A); AT, PS/2 or USB keyboard; VGA-compatible video controller card

and monitor

• CD-based installation - standard ATA/ATAPI interface controller and CD drive supporting

"El Torito" bootable CDs (you might need also to check if the router's BIOS supports booting

from this type of media); AT, PS/2 or USB keyboard; VGA-compatible video controller card

and monitor

• Floppy-based network installation - standard AT floppy controller and 3.5'' disk drive

connected as the first floppy disk drive (A); PCI Ethernet network interface card supported by

Wandy RouterOS (see the Device Driver List for the list)

• Full network-based installation - PCI Ethernet network interface card supported by Wandy

RouterOS (see the Device Driver List for the list) with PXE or EtherBoot extension booting

ROM (you might need also to check if the router's BIOS supports booting from network)

Depending on installation method chosen the router must have the following hardware:

Configuration possibilities

RouterOS provides powerful command-line configuration interface. You can also manage the

router through WinBox - the easy-to-use remote configuration GUI for Windows -, which provides

all the benefits of the command-line interface, without the actual "command-line", which may scare

novice users. Major features:

• Clean and consistent user interface

• Runtime configuration and monitoring

• Multiple connections

• User policies

• Action history, undo/redo actions

• safe mode operation

• Scripts can be scheduled for executing at certain times, periodically, or on events. All

command-line commands are supported in scripts

• Local terminal console - AT, PS/2 or USB keyboard and VGA-compatible video controller
