alt Hacker NewsIt should be doable by most software engineers. They did teach some basic CCNA course in the university as part of computer science studies and the concepts taught there should help a lot with configuring any router, including RouterOS. It could also be helpful to watch some guides on routing and firewall on Linux, since RouterOS is just Linux with a very specific UI on top.
I dunno. I've worked with linux routers for years and I've had a lot less problems than with mikrotik.
I still like them but it's usually not the networking knowledge that trips people up.
