What you'll learn

  • Configure DHCP Client on the MikroTik Router
  • Configure DHCP server on the MikroTik Router
  • Configure the wireless on the MikroTik Router
  • Configure Network Address Translation on the MikroTik Router
  • Test if the MikroTik router acts as a Wireless Access point router

Course content

1 section • 6 lectures • 36m total length

  • Demonstrating the MikroTik router3:02
  • Connect to the MikroTik Router via Winbox and Upgrade it to RouterOS v77:27
  • Configure DHCP client on the interface connected to the ISP4:31

    In this lecture, the Eth1 interface on the MikroTik router will be connected to the cable provided from the ISP, and we will configure DHCP client on Eth1 interface to receive an IP address, subnet mask, DNS addresses and Defalut gateway from the ISP. 

    We will do a test to check if the configuration of the DHCP is done correctly.

  • Configure Bridge Interface on the MikroTik router4:04

    In this lecture, I will put all interfaces (except Eth1) inside a bridge interface

  • Configure the MikroTik router as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses7:53

    In this lecture and after the wireless has been enabled in the previous lecture, we are going to configure the MikroTik router to become a DHCP server in order to be able to provide private IP addresses to network devices that are connected to the wireless that we have just configure it.

  • Configure NAT and Wireless then test the configuration9:25

    After configuring the DHCP server, the devices that are connected wirelessly to the router are now getting a private IP address. For this reason, it is needed to have a NAT process on the router enabled to allow the private IP address to be translated to public IP addresses in order to go to the internet.

    In this lecture, I will show you the steps needed to configure NAT on the MikroTik router.

Requirements

  • You should have basic computer knowledge
  • You should have basic networking knowledge
  • You should have basic knowledge of IP addressing
  • You should have a MikroTik Routerboard supporting the wireless package

Description

If you have a MikroTik router at home or at work which you don't know how to configure it to become a Wireless Access Point Router, this course can help you to achieve this.

Configuring the MikroTik router can be a challenge for many users specially those who are not working in IT. But MikroTik can provide you very important features that you may not see them in other vendors, so learning how to configure the MikroTik router is very essential.

During this course, I am going to show you step-by-step how to configure your MikroTik router to become a wireless Access Point. We will pass through many different topics such as: Upgrading the RouterOS, DHCP client configuration, DHCP server configuration,  Bridge, IP address assignment on interfaces, NAT configuration and much more.

This course will help you to feel more familiar with the MikroTik router by using the Winbox tool that I am going to use it during this course. Also this course will be based on RouterOS version 7 which is the latest version used by MikroTik

If you have any question(s) or justification(s) during the course, you can always write me  and I will answer all your questions ASAP.
