Mikrotik Quick Set

[Bessie Murrillo]

Ihad a situation today where we had an office worker needing to work from home. This user had a Housefull of devices and a router managed by the Fiber to the home provider. This user had devices attached to the wifi on the provider router and such. Normally I would want to replace this router, but it would be an undertaking.

2. I needed the laptop they were working on the be able to route the three prefixes to the Mikrotik, thus going out the VPN. In our setup, the laptop only has 2 default gateways. It does not know any other routing info.

It is important to note you are only able to do this on a shortcut in Windows, not the actual file itself. No idea why. The script is important because this user brings the laptop back and forth. I did not want to create persistent routes on the computer because the office network is different. If you do not do persistent routes they will be after a reboot. This way the user double clicks on the script shortcut when they login to the computer and before firing up the dude.

There are many other ways to accomplish this. This was one of the quickest and less-impacting to the user and fewer things to support. One of the downsides to this setup is the user maintains two physical connections to two physical routers. In this instance, the user could hardwire into the Mikrotik and maintain a wireless connection to the FIOS router.

If given more time you could have the laptop wired into the Mikoritk as your desk and have the wireless on the Mikrotik become a wireless client back to the FIOS router. This would make the setup a little more mobile.

The quickMOUNT pro is a advanced wall mount adapter for small point to point and sector antennas. You can mount it on the wall or use it as an adapter from large diameter pole to small size antenna mounting clip ensuring reliable fitment.

The quickMOUNT pro gives possibility to turn antenna within 140 both in horizontal and vertical plane. With the quickMOUNT pro it is possible to perfectly set antenna alignment using integrated graduated scale.

RouterOS offers several modes for different types of network deployments and applications. Within the user-friendly interface for quick configuration Quick Set, there is an option to choose between Router and Bridge modes.

MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication at the physical layer of the network. Each network interface, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, has its own, unique MAC address.

In RouterOS, the MAC address can be overwritten. This is particularly useful in cases where internet availability is tied to the MAC address of the router. Typically with fiber optics, the ISP has internet functionality tied to the MAC address of the end router. If we replace the router, the internet will not work due to a different MAC address. The solution is to contact the ISP with a request to change the record in their system to the MAC address of the new router, or overwrite the MAC address of the new router to that of the original router.

The name of the 5G and 2G WiFi networks can later be adjusted in the WebFig#Wireless window, by clicking on the chosen network (wlan1 for 2G, wlan2 for 5G ...), then by clicking on the Wireless section and rewriting the SSID parameter. Confirm the name change with the apply button.

DUAL DSL wan links are connected with mikrotik [modems are in bridge mode], Configured as PCC along with the pppoe server. USB modem is attached with the Mikrotik via USB port. The OP need an script which can daily send sms or email specific information to admin cell, or whenever admin require on urgent basis via sending sms to mikrotik and it can return back the info to the admin cell.

Following script will collect information from Mikrotik system such as active pppoe users, CPU load, dsl links status etc and send this information to admin via SMS or Email either via scheduler or as receiver command on mikrotik. [I am already using much more advance version of this script in other networks in linux system as BASH is the best ground to support scripting but since linux was not available at this spot, i had to use Mikrotik only with usb modem attached] it can be set as receive command too so that admin can send sms to mikrotik and mikrotik will reply back the current info to the admin mobile. Sometimes its very useful for remote admins.

Hello, I am one of those self studying people about Router OS and using mikrotik products. Is there an explanation why a script before was working fine in a previous version and in an updated version is not working anymore? Hope you can help me point it out or at least a guide thanks.

Dueto upgrade, sometimes syntax gets changed for better compatibility with the new system and added features. so sometimes a script which runs in 5.x may not run with 6.x version, as ver 6.x was re-written with lots of improvements and features.

so use latest version [stable release] possible for your R&D.
