Ask an Expert: Turn an Old PC into a LAN Server with RouterOS
Want an enterprise router for your network at a fraction of the cost of a Cisco router? Connect your offices together, access files remotely, run enterprise Wi-Fi encryption, and more. Eric Geier, author of Wi-Fi Hotspots: Setting Up Public Wireless Internet Access, shows you how to get started in this two-part tutorial.

  • Part 1: Geier introduces MikroTik RouterOS software that you can load onto an old PC.
     
  • Part 2: Finish the configuration to complete a basic router, similar to one you'd get off the shelf, and then experiment with the more advanced features.
