summary
congratulations, you have got hold of mikrotik router for your home network. this guide will help you to do initial
configuration of the router to make your home network a safe place to be.
the guide is mostly intended in case if default configuration did not get you to the internet right away, however
some parts of the guide is still useful.
connecting wires
router s initial configuration should be suitable for most of the cases. description of the configuration is on the back
of the box and also described in the online manual.
the best way to connect wires as described on the box:
• connect ethernet wire from your internet service provider (isp) to port ether1, rest of the ports on the router are
for local area network (lan). at this moment, your router is protected by default firewall configuration so you
should not worry about that
• connect lan wires to the rest of the ports.
configuring router
initial configuration has dhcp client on wan interface (ether1), rest of the ports are considered your local network
with dhcp server configured for automatic address configuration on client devices. to connect to the router you
have to set your computer to accept dhcp settings and plug in the ethernet cable in one of the lan ports (please
check routerboard.com for port numbering of the product you own, or check front panel of the router).
logging into the router

it is good idea to start with password setup or add new user so that router is
not accessible by anyone on your network. user configuration is done form
system -> users menu.
to access this menu, click on system on the left panel and from the
dropingdown menu choose users (as shown in screenshot on the left)
you will see this screen, where you can manage users of the router. in this
screen you can edit or add new users:
• when you click on account name (in this case admin), edit screen for the
user will be displayed.
• if you click on add new button, new user creation screen will be
displayed.
