Introduction

This tutorial is designed for beginners who want to set up a MikroTik router, specifically the RB750r2 model. It provides a step-by-step guide to configuring essential settings that will help you establish a reliable network for your business or personal use.

Step 1: Name Your Ethernet Ports

• Open WinBox and connect to your MikroTik router.
• Navigate to the "Interfaces" menu.
• Double-click on each Ethernet port to rename them according to their function (e.g., WAN, LAN).

Step 2: Assign IP Addresses to Ethernet Ports

• Go to the "IP" menu and select "Addresses".
• Click on the "+" button to add a new IP address.
• Enter the desired IP address and select the corresponding Ethernet interface.
• Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Step 3: Configure DNS Settings

• Navigate to the "IP" menu and select "DNS".
• Input the DNS server addresses you wish to use (e.g., Google DNS: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4).
• Enable "Allow Remote Requests" if you want devices on your network to use the MikroTik router for DNS queries.

Step 4: Set Up Routing

• Go to the "IP" menu and select "Routes".
• Click on the "+" button to add a new route.
• Enter the destination and gateway addresses, then click "OK".

Step 5: Check Ping in Terminal

• Open the "Terminal" window from the MikroTik interface.
• Type ping 8.8.8.8 to test connectivity to an external server.
• Ensure you receive replies, indicating a successful connection.

Step 6: Configure the DHCP Server

• Navigate to the "IP" menu and select "DHCP Server".
• Click on "DHCP Setup" and select the interface to configure.
• Follow the prompts to define the address pool, gateway, and DNS settings for DHCP clients.

Step 7: Set Up Firewall NAT

• Go to the "IP" menu and select "Firewall".
• Click on the "NAT" tab and then the "+" button to add a new rule.
• Set the Chain to "srcnat".
• In the Action tab, choose "masquerade" to allow internet access for local devices.

Step 8: Check Connection on Your Computer

• Open the Command Prompt (CMD) on your computer.
• Type ipconfig to check your IP configuration.
• Run a Speedtest to ensure you have internet access and check the connection speed.

Step 9: Configure Security Settings

• Go to the "System" menu and select "Users".
• Change the default username and set a strong password.
• Also, consider setting up user groups with limited access for enhanced security.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should have a basic MikroTik router configuration that includes naming your ports, assigning IP addresses, setting up DNS, routing, DHCP, NAT, and securing your router. As a next step, consider exploring advanced features like traffic monitoring and QoS (Quality of Service) settings to optimize your network performance.
