Understanding the New MikroTik Website
A complete guide to navigating MikroTik faster, smarter, and with confidence.
The MikroTik website has been redesigned. This guide explains the structure, intent, and hidden value so you can find what you need quickly. It pairs with a 6‑part video series that follows each section below.
MikroTik: Where It Comes From and Why It Exists
MikroTik is a Latvian company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Riga, Latvia.
The name roughly means “small network”:
- Micro = small
- Tik = network
The company began as an ISP and created RouterOS to unify routing, firewalling, QoS, user management, and Radius into one platform. This was revolutionary in the late 1990s and still defines MikroTik today.
