MikroTik — ~21 prefixes (MA-L), registered as "Routerboard.com"

MikroTik's defining OUI quirk is the registrant name: its IEEE blocks (about 21) are registered to "Routerboard.com," NOT "MikroTik" or "Mikrotīkls" — so a naive name-based lookup for "MikroTik" may not match. The legal company is SIA "Mikrotīkls" (Mikrotikls SIA) in Riga, Latvia; some database front-ends relabel the same blocks "MikroTik RouterBOARD." These OUIs appear on routers, switches, and wireless access points — RouterBOARD hardware running RouterOS, across the CCR/CRS/hAP/cAP product lines. MikroTik was established in 1996 in Riga and is one of Latvia's largest companies. Its gear is extremely common in WISP (wireless ISP), SMB, and budget network environments worldwide. For triage, a "Routerboard.com" OUI means MikroTik gear; common in WISPs and small networks but also frequently appearing in unsanctioned/rogue routers — its presence in an enterprise where MikroTik isn't standard is a strong shadow-IT/rogue-device flag.

IEEE assignment

~21 prefixes → "Routerboard.com" (legal company SIA "Mikrotīkls"), registered Riga, Latvia [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Registry / block size

MA-L; ~21 blocks [Confirmed assignment] — maclookup.app (IEEE-derived; count is a current third-party snapshot and drifts). NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (the IEEE MA-L registry columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" from third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

HQ / country

Riga, Latvia (current legal address Aizkraukles iela 23, Riga LV-1006; office Ūnijas iela 2, Riga LV-1039; some blocks list Brivibas gatve 214i) [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Special note

KEY QUIRK — the IEEE registrant is "Routerboard.com," NOT "MikroTik" or "Mikrotīkls," so naive lookups may not match a search for "MikroTik." Extremely common in WISP, SMB, and budget network environments worldwide. [Confirmed] — maclookup.app/vendors/routerboard-com

Analyst note

A "Routerboard.com" OUI = MikroTik gear; common in WISPs and small networks but also frequently appearing in unsanctioned/rogue routers — its presence in an enterprise where MikroTik isn't standard is a strong shadow-IT/rogue-device flag.
