Multiple Choice

Can you add drivers to RouterOS?

Explanation:
RouterOS does not allow end users to add or install new hardware drivers. It’s a closed system with drivers that are compiled into the kernel and provided by MikroTik. You can extend functionality with official packages, but you can’t custom-compile or load external drivers. To get driver support for a device, you need MikroTik to include it in a supported hardware image or release an update; licensing or beta features don’t change this limitation.
