MikroTik mobile app

The MikroTik mobile app provides both basic and advanced configuration options for MikroTik routers on Android and iOS, offering a user-friendly setup interface with QR code download links and quick configuration steps.

Python3 Example

This page provides a Python3 example client for interacting with MikroTik RouterOS via its API, demonstrating login and command execution using socket communication and MD5 hashing for authentication.

REST API

RouterOS REST API: enable HTTPS access with a least-privilege user, read and change the configuration with GET, PUT, PATCH and DELETE, run any console command with POST, work within the 60-second limit and per-user sessions, and build scripts, integrations and dashboards on it.

RoMON

RoMON is a Router Management Overlay Network that establishes an independent MAC layer network for secure router management, using EtherType 0x88bf and DST-MAC 01:80:c2:00:88:bf. It allows ports to participate with configurable IDs and costs, supports dynamic ACL rules for packet forwarding, and uses MD5 hashing

Scripting

RouterOS scripting enables automation through user-defined scripts triggered by events like system scheduling or traffic monitoring. Scripts use a command-line syntax with optional prefixes, named parameters, and physical line formatting, supporting both single-line and multi-line execution.

WinBox

WinBox v4 is a native cross-platform GUI utility for administering MikroTik RouterOS on Windows, Linux, and macOS. It replaces the legacy Wine-based WinBox v3 with a native application, providing secure connections through AES128-CBC-SHA encryption and ECSRP authentication.

WinBox v3 (Legacy)

WinBox v3 is a GUI utility for administering MikroTik RouterOS with Linux/macOS support via Wine. This legacy page covers the Wine-based WinBox v3 — use WinBox v4 for a native cross-platform experience.
