What is the LAB Scenario and what equipments are needed for the WISP11:34
Learn to set up a basic wireless ISP using MikroTik hardware, from the lab scenario to necessary equipment like hoplite routers, switches, and wireless access points, designed for remote areas.
Configuring the Main Router (Core) of the WISP18:20
Configure the core router of a MikroTik WISP, creating customer VLANs, DHCP servers, and per-VLAN bandwidth controls, while implementing NAT masquerade and basic firewall rules.
Configuring the Switch to carry VLANs packets8:05
Configure a MikroTik switch to carry VLANs by creating a bridge, enabling VLAN filtering, and using VLANs 10 and 20 as transport to the access point from the main router.
Configuring the Main AP at the WISP12:58
Configure the main access point to provide wireless connectivity, bridging it with switch and securing with a password, while enabling trunk ports for Willerton and Vilan 20 traffic over wireless.
Connecting the Customer Wireless Station to the WISP Main AP16:44
Connect a customer wireless station to the WISP main AP using VLANs, assign IPs via DHCP, and verify internet access with bridge and firewall rules.

Introduction to Security & QOS on the WISP2:49
Learn to implement security and QoS in a MikroTik WISP by isolating customer stations, controlling inter-station connectivity, and provisioning bandwidth with per-customer QoS rules.
Disallow Customers Wireless Stations from seeing each other13:40
Disallow traffic between wireless stations on different VLANs using a router-on-a-stick setup and a firewall filter, ensuring customers cannot see each other while preserving internet access.
Allocate a Bandwidth speed to each customer using Mangle Rules and QOS21:22
Learn to allocate per-customer bandwidth in MikroTik using mangle rules and QoS, creating pre-routing and post-routing marks and queues to cap upload and download to the paid limits.

Introduction to wireless fine tuning1:44
Explore wireless fine tuning for a MikroTik-based wireless network to improve signal quality, strengthen the link between access point and customer station, and leverage protocols to ensure reliable internet service.
Wireless Station alignment to the Main AP7:10
Learn how to align a customer station to the main access point using alignment mode, matching the same frequency, and achieving near 100 percent signal for reliable service.
Changing the TX power for a better signal reception10:39
Adjust the tx power on the main access point and the station to achieve a nominal receiving signal, aiming for minus 50 to minus 70 db, avoiding excessive power.
Wireless SNR, CCQ and HW Frames17:26
Assess wireless link quality using signal-to-noise ratio, CCQ, and hardware frames, and optimize AP-to-station performance with the registration table, noise floor, and throughput tests.
MikroTik nstreme and nv2 wireless protocols for more bandwidth16:45
Explore MikroTik's proprietary nstreme and nv2 protocols, how they boost bandwidth, their TDMA polling behavior, and enablement on AP and station through practical lab demonstrations.
Bonus lecture2:22
Deploy, run, and sell internet service with MikroTik in this bonus lecture, starting from nothing and building a working wireless isp; anticipate advanced features and stay connected via social media.

Description

Internet is becoming the essence of life. Imagine that we do not have internet nowadays, then all our businesses will be closed. However, is some countries and in the world the internet is not reached to everyone, for this reason it is important that you, as an engineer or business owner, understand how to deploy a Wireless ISP (WISP) so you can distribute internet in your region and build up a business with a profit.

In this course, I will start from scratch showing you the steps required to build up a WISP. I will also show you what MikroTik equipment you require in case you want to build up the WISP.

The course will contains a lot of LABS, so I advise you to repeat all LABS that I am showing in the course so you can master the topic.

In case you want to repeat the LABS of this course, you require 4 MikroTik routers in which 2 of them have a Wireless interface.

If you want to build up a business by distributing internet wirelessly to your customers and start doing profit, I advise you to join my course and I will show you all steps needed to build your WISP.
