Step-by-Step guide to configuring  MikroTik router

1. Access the Router

  • Using Winbox: Download Winbox from the MikroTik website and connect your PC to the router using an Ethernet cable. Open Winbox, click on the "..." button to discover the router, select it, and connect using the default username admin (no password).
  • Using WebFig: Connect your PC to the router, open a web browser, and go to http://192.168.88.1 to access WebFig. Login with admin (no password).
  • Using CLI (Command Line Interface): Connect via SSH using a terminal application or directly via the console port.

2. Reset Configuration (Optional)

  • If the router has previous configurations, it’s a good idea to reset it to factory defaults. In Winbox/WebFig, go to System > Reset Configuration, check the "No Default Configuration" box if you want a completely blank setup, and then click Reset Configuration.

3. Set Up Basic Router Configuration

  • Change the Admin Password: Go to System > Users, select the admin user, and change the password.
  • Set Router Identity: Go to System > Identity and set a name for your router.

4. Configure Network Interfaces

  • Assign IP Addresses: Go to IP > Addresses and assign IP addresses to the router interfaces. For example:
    • Assign a LAN IP: 192.168.1.1/24 to ether1.
    • Assign a WAN IP: Use the public IP assigned by your ISP.
  • Set Up DHCP Server (For LAN): Go to IP > DHCP Server and set up a DHCP server on the LAN interface (e.g., ether1).
  • Set Up DHCP Client (For WAN): Go to IP > DHCP Client and add a DHCP client on the WAN interface (e.g., ether2).

5. Configure Routing

  • Set Default Gateway: Go to IP > Routes and ensure a default route (0.0.0.0/0) is set via your WAN gateway.

6. Configure Firewall and NAT

  • Basic Firewall Rules: Go to IP > Firewall and configure basic rules, like allowing LAN traffic, dropping unauthorized traffic, etc.
  • NAT Configuration: Set up NAT for outgoing traffic by going to IP > Firewall > NAT and adding a masquerade rule for your WAN interface.

7. Set Up DNS

  • Go to IP > DNS and add DNS servers provided by your ISP or use public DNS servers like 8.8.8.8. Ensure you enable Allow Remote Requests if you want the router to act as a DNS server for LAN clients.

8. Configure Wireless (If Applicable)

  • Go to Wireless and configure the wireless interface. Set the SSID, security profile (WPA2 is recommended), and choose the appropriate frequency.

9. Configure Additional Features

  • VPN Setup: If needed, configure a VPN for secure remote access.
  • QoS (Quality of Service): Set up traffic prioritization under Queue.
  • Logging and Monitoring: Go to System > Logging to configure log levels and destinations. Use Tools > Torch for network monitoring.

10. Backup Configuration

  • Go to Files and create a backup of the configuration. Store it in a safe place.

11. Test and Validate

  • Ensure that the router is working as expected by testing internet connectivity, accessing network resources, and verifying security settings.

12. Final Touches

  • Document the configuration and any custom settings for future reference.

This step-by-step guide covers the basic configuration of a MikroTik router. Depending on your network needs, you might need to add more advanced settings like VLANs, advanced firewall rules, or custom scripts.
