Thanks for your response.If the clients are all behind the same router, slow file sharing has nothing to do with the router as it isn't involved in clients on a network directly talking to one another.
If Internet surfing is slow, check whether your circuit is saturated. Several hundred clients all checking Facebook at noon during lunch breaks can bring down a fairly large circuit - investigate upgrading the circuit or implementing QoS. With that many devices on the same broadcast domain you could also run into problems on the edge of the network, which doesn't have anything to do with the router. As dove24u mentioned breaking things up into smaller networks would be one way to avoid those issues.
Is it feasible to configure RouterOS as a router? Yes it is. I don't think it is likely that anyone on a forum can answer the "how do I go about it" question,because it is WAY beyond the scope of what can be described here. Maybe the question you are asking is not what I THINK you are asking.I was thinking of breaking the network into subnets,But I want to ask is it feasible using MikroTik RoS(with Level 4 lic) on x86 sytem and still be able to share files and other resources.if yes How do I go about it.

I can tell you that in order to break a network into subnets, you just change the IP/Netmask on the devices, add one of the IPs from each subnet/range on the router and that's it. That, of course, is the most simple answer possible. Is that what you were asking about?
Best suggestion is: http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html and pay for good help. It sounds like you need real assistance and not just rely on forum for free support. The forum is not designed to enable complete network engineering, but for answers to questions. "Build my network, please" is not a question that can be answered on a forum.@Butche,Tanx U got me write.Further suggestion welcome.
