MikroTik Australia — Routers, Switches, Wireless & RouterOS

MikroTik builds the routers, switches and wireless gear that run on RouterOS — the same routing, firewall, VPN, MPLS and bandwidth-management feature set on an entry-level hEX as on a full enterprise Cloud Core Router. ARC IP Networks carries the range as genuine Australian stock with Australian warranty.

Why MikroTik

One operating system, from an entry-level router to a 100G core

What sets MikroTik apart in Australia is RouterOS: every device runs the same operating system with the same feature set — BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VRF, IPsec and WireGuard VPN, queueing, hotspot and firewall — with no feature-licensing tiers and no subscription. What you learn configuring a hEX applies unchanged to a Cloud Core Router.

That makes it the default choice for WISPs, ISPs and integrators who need real routing at a price that does not scale with feature count, and increasingly for businesses that want proper VPN and traffic control without a recurring licence. ARC IP Networks offers competitive MikroTik pricing across Australia on the whole range, backed by full manufacturer's warranty and genuine Australian stock on every order. Configuration is via WinBox, WebFig or the command line.

MikroTik in Australia — common questions

Straight answers on RouterOS, licensing, WinBox, optics and warranty. Last reviewed September 2026 by ARC IP Networks.

Yes. ARC IP Networks carries the MikroTik range as genuine Australian stock with Australian warranty and AU power leads. Buying local stock also means the wireless models are the correct regulatory variant for Australia.

RouterOS is MikroTik's operating system and it runs on every device they make. The licence is included with the hardware — there is no subscription and no per-feature licensing. The licence level varies by model and caps certain limits; the level is listed on each product page.

WinBox is MikroTik's configuration tool — a small Windows application that connects to the device by IP or MAC address and gives you the full RouterOS interface. It is the standard way to configure MikroTik hardware.

For a typical NBN connection a hEX or hAP ax is plenty. For multi-gigabit services or heavy firewall and VPN use, look at the RB5009 or L009. For BGP, an ISP core or anything past 10G, you are into the Cloud Core Router range. Throughput depends on the configuration, so ask us if the choice is close.

The CRS (Cloud Router Switch) range runs RouterOS and can route as well as switch. The CSS and netPower ranges run SwOS, a lighter switch-only operating system. Both are managed; only RouterOS gives you the full routing feature set.

It is one of the most widely deployed platforms in that market in Australia, largely because BGP, MPLS, OSPF and full queueing are included at every price point rather than sold as licence tiers. The CCR range is built specifically for that role.

Generally yes — MikroTik ports accept standard SFP, SFP+ and QSFP optics. The module still has to match the fibre type and distance at both ends. We stock matched MikroTik optics and DACs, which removes the most common cause of a link not coming up.

Genuine Australian stock carries the full manufacturer's warranty. Grey-import hardware bought overseas generally does not, which is the main reason to buy locally.

Yes. ARC IP Networks offers competitive MikroTik pricing across Australia on the full range — routers, switches, wireless, LTE/5G and more — backed by full manufacturer's warranty and genuine Australian stock on every order.
