Mikrotik is not only available in hardware products, but also provides software products in the form of an operating system which can be installed on a PC. One of the plus points when we choose a PC router, we can upgrade the PC specifications according to our network needs. For example, when the processor is deemed too burdened, we can upgrade to a processor with higher capabilities. While the drawbacks of a PC router are RAM, which is a maximum of only 2 GB, as well as a fairly large power consumption, compared to RouterBoard which only requires relatively small power consumption.
