📄️Upgrade

MikroTik devices are preinstalled with RouterOS, so installation is usually not needed, except in the case of installing RouterOS on a bare metal x86 PC or a virtual machine via CHR images. The upgrade procedure on already installed devices is straightforward.

Summary

📄️RouterBOOT

RouterBOOT is responsible for starting RouterOS in MikroTik hardware devices, such as Access Points, routers, and other models. Since many new hardware families have been made by MikroTik, here and elsewhere, when the term RouterBOARD is used, it applies to all the other hardware families that run RouterOS as well.
