MikroTik RouterOS is preinstalled on RouterBOARD. probably you have RouterOS.
MAC-WinboxMAC-Winbox helps you to access the RouterOS.

To (re)install MikroTik RouterOS use netinstall.

Make sure that
- the PC netinstall is running on and your router are on the same layer 2 network
- netinstall has the "boot from net" option enabled (can't remember it's real name right now...)
- the RB is configured to boot from LAN (first)

I've had some strange problems sometimes with a switch between the netinstall PC and the router. If nothing works, try a direct (cross-over) cable between router and PC.

Best regards,

Every router comes with the OS instaled?

What is the licence? Level 4?

RouterBOARD comes with instaled RouterOS, default license level 4.

My RB532 came with license level 5 preinstalled from WISP. I've had it about 6 months or so.

Probably. I work for an ISP and got the router from them so I'm sure they ordered it with level 5.
