About MikroTik Guide
MikroTik Guide is a working reference for RouterOS v7. It covers what a new router ships with and how to harden it, which board suits which job against MikroTik's own published throughput figures, bridge VLAN filtering without losing switch-chip hardware offload, and how to work out why a router is running hot and forwarding slowly.
It exists because RouterOS is powerful and unforgiving, and most of its sharp edges are documented only in scattered wiki pages and forum threads. Every figure quoted here is traced back to MikroTik's documentation, product test-results tables, or changelogs, and linked so you can check the original. The sizer on this site is built from those same published numbers, and where a figure is an estimate rather than something MikroTik publishes, the page says so.

12 articles are published so far. New articles are announced on the RSS feed; there is no fixed publishing schedule and this site does not promise one.
How these articles are produced
Articles are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, release notes, advisories, and measurements published by the people who took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those same sources before anything is published. Where a figure comes from a datasheet or a third-party measurement, the article names the source and links to it so you can check the original rather than take this site's summary of it.
Everything here is published under the MikroTik Guide Editorial byline. That is an editorial desk, not a person, and no article on this site claims hands-on lab testing, benchmarking, or first-hand measurement. Nothing here should be read as a report of something this site physically tested.
Corrections
Getting it right matters more than getting it first. If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or missing the source it should cite, email editor@mikrotikguide.com with the page and the specific claim. Substantive corrections are made on the page itself rather than quietly dropped.
How this site is funded
This site currently runs no affiliate links, no sponsored content, no paid placement, and no display advertising. Nothing on it earns a commission. If that changes, this page and the disclosure page will say so before any such link appears.
The full position is on the disclosure page. Read it before acting on anything here that reads like a buying recommendation.
