I. What to prepare before configuring Mikrotik?

1. Tools needed

First you need to prepare a windows computer, network cable to connect the computer to the router.
Then download the software winbox  to your computer.

The computer needs a LAN port for easy connection, set a static IP for the network card:
192.168.88.99/24.

If the computer has a wifi card connected to the internet, the LAN card
should not set a gateway.

2. Update software for router Mikrotik. Trợ giúp

The next step is to update your routerOS software to the latest version. The latest version will make
the router run smoother and it has also fixed security issues.

The saved file is named *.npk (eg routeros-mipsbe-6.47.2.npk). Go back to the winbox window

Go to the Files menu to upload this file to the root directory.

II. Basic Mikrotik configuration steps

Step 1: Create a bridge for the local area network (LAN)

With routerOS, bridge  is a bridge connecting hosts on different networks. It is created to link

interfaces including: ethernet interface, wlan, vlan…

Here, we can roughly understand creating a bridge is to create a group of ports that can be
connected like a switch .

Go to the Bridge menu, click + to add a bridge, name it bridge-LAN

Next add the ports you need to use to the newly created bridge.

In the bridge window, click the Ports tab, press the + sign to add a port. Below are all 4 ports 2-5
that are included in the bridge-LAN.

Step 2: Set the IP for the newly created bridge.

This IP will act as the Gateway for the clients in the LAN. From Winbox, go to menu IP >
Addresses to open a subwindow Address List. Press + and declare IP:

7 – Finish DHCP server settings

Step 4: Configure WAN for Mikrotik.

WAN for routers comes in many forms, usually DHCP Client or PPPoE. In this configuration guide,
PPPoE will be selected to install the WAN port on ether1.

To install pppoe, go to menu PPP to open a sub-window. From this window click on  +  and
select PPPoE Client  in the drop-down menu.

In the next step when configuring pppoe, you need to select 2 items: Use Peer DNS and Add
Default Route to connect pppoe automatically using carrier-provided DNS and also automatically
adding default route.

If you don’t select these 2 items, you will have to declare DNS and default route manually.

After clicking OK to create PPPoE Interface, it’s done. If the modem has switched to  bridge
mode and the router’s ether1 has been wired to the modem, this interface will start connecting to the
network operator to receive the IP.

Creating a rule like this will be a total NAT rule – it will work for all other bridges or interfaces.

options such as In – Interface, Src Address… However, creating rules in the way described in this

III. Final configuration check

After completing Step 6 above, you should have a relatively good router. You can either use a
computer connected to ether2 to test the internet or do an external ping to see the results.

If the computer can ping to the internet then everything is configured correctly. You can perform a
backup of the system configuration for future use.
