Summary

RouterOS supports a lot of different features and since every installation requires specific set of features supprted it is possible to add or remove certain groups of features using package system. As result user is able to control what features are available and size of installation. Packages are provided only by MikroTik and no 3rd parties are allowed to make them.

Acquiring packages

Packages can be downloaded from MikroTik download page or mirrors listed on that page. Either of provided download methods can be used.
