As we know, MikroTik RouterOS is the best choice to manage network in small office. MikroTik company has many type of affordable products called RouterBoard, One of my favorite is RB941. It is cheap and has many features that we can use to optimize our network, build, manage, and monitoring. From this small router we can learn many networking skills.
Look at this topology
this is a simple topology where we just want to share internet connection we have from ONT to other user with fair bandwith limitation through MikrotTik RouterOS.
The steps are :
Get any type of RB you want to use, just remember that if you pick RB941 it means number 1 is the code for wireless interface, one wireless interface card.
Use winbox software to access this routerboard, via etehernet cable. you can use Straight Through or cross over UTP cable , it doesn't matter because this router interface card already support auto mdi-x
At default configuration , you must plug your cable into ethernet port 2, 3, or 4. ethernet 1 is for internet services as client.
you will see on your winbox ip address 192.168.88.1 , you can click there or you can click on mac address on the left side if you want to have Layer 2 connection.
The default Username is admin and you can empty the password field
Change the password at system - users
Test your internet connection, from cable connection
Load balancing is a computer networking methodology to distribute workload across multiple computers or a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, disk drives, or other resources, to achieve optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy. The load balancing service is usually provided by dedicated software or hardware, such as a multilayer switch or a Domain Name System server. (wikipedia)
or
Load balancing is implemented as equal cost multipath routing. With load balancing two or more gateways can be specified for the same destination. That applies to the default one as well. Equal cost multipath routes can be created by routing protocols (RIP or OSPF), or by adding a static route with multiple gateways. The routing protocols may create routes with equal cost automatically, if the cost of the interfaces is adjusted properly. (http://www.mikrotik.com/solutions.php)

In computer networks, to download means to receive data to a local system from a remote system, or to initiate such a data transfer. Examples of a remote system from which a download might be performed include a webserver, FTP server, email server, or other similar systems. Downloading or uploading is relative to the system involved, for example a PC downloads a file from a server while the server is uploading that file to that PC, it has nothing to do with the size of the systems involved (see Sideload below).
A download can mean either any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded, or the process of receiving such a file.
It has become more common to mistake and confuse the meaning of downloading and installing or simply combine them incorrectly together.
The inverse operation, uploading, can refer to the sending of data from a local system to a remote system such as a server or another client with the intent that the remote system should store a copy of the data being transferred, or the initiation of such a process. The words first came into popular usage among computer users with the increased popularity of Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs), facilitated by the widespread distribution and implementation of dial-up access the in the 1970s.
The use of the terms uploading and downloading often imply that the data sent or received is to be stored permanently, or at least stored more than temporarily. In contrast, the term downloading is distinguished from the related concept of streaming, which indicates the receiving of data that is used near immediately as it is received, while the transmission is still in progress and which may not be stored long-term, whereas in a process described using the term downloading, this would imply that the data is only usable when it has been received in its entirety. Increasingly, websites that offer streaming media or media displayed in-browser, such as YouTube, and which place restrictions on the ability of users to save these materials to their computers after they have been received, say that downloading is not permitted.[1] In this context, "download" implies specifically "receive and save" instead of simply "receive". However, it is also important to note that "downloading" is not the same as "transferring" (i.e., sending/receiving data between two storage devices would be a transferral of data, but receiving data from the Internet would be considered a download of data)
