I have watched the videos, read the guides, tried and failed numerous times. I can get a basic setup to work when I configure ether1 through my local network of 192.168.0.50. I can ping thru and pass traffic thru. But when I try to assign ether1 with my ISP’s static address (69.11.91.39/24) gateway (142.165.181.254) everything quits.
What am I overlooking or not seeing?
Try this

If that doesn’t work I will need you to post your address list, your routes lists, your firewall and Nat rules
+1… post your export. Otherwise we are trying to help you blind.
Is there a way to print this all out so I can show you?
Type export on terminal from the device. Copy/paste the output
Here goes:
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] comment=WAN speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] comment=LAN speed=1Gbps
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] comment=LOCAL
/ip neighbor discovery
set ether1 comment=WAN
set ether2 comment=LAN
set ether3 comment=LOCAL
/ip hotspot user profile
set [ find default=yes ] idle-timeout=none keepalive-timeout=2m
mac-cookie-timeout=3d
/port
set 0 name=serial0
set 1 name=serial1
/ip address
add address=69.11.91.39/24 interface=ether1 network=69.11.91.0
/ip dns
set allow-remote-requests=yes cache-size=10000KiB servers=
142.165.21.5,142.165.200.5
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=ether1
/ip route
add distance=1 gateway=142.165.181.254
When I use the ping command from Terminal I get this:
ping google.ca
invalid value for argument address:
invalid value of mac-address, mac address required
invalid value for argument ipv6-address
while resolving ip-address: could not get answer from dns server
