i have got a new routerboard 750 from a friend who wants me to learn how to configure it in a week, then return it.
i have got access to the router and downloaded winbox, got into the router.
plz help me; where do i go from here?
i need to know the following:
configuring ip addresses statically and also configuring dhcp
Winbox is equivalent to the CLI. “/ip address add interface=ether1 address=192.168.1.1/24” is achieved by clicking the IP button to fan out the menu, choosing the address button, clicking the + button to add, typing “192.168.1.1/24” in the field labeled “Address”, and choosing “ether1” from the drop down menu labeled “Interface”.
i have read through the manuals, but have still failed to connect to the internet.
i have an adsl modem.
i have connected the adsl modem to the mikrotik on ether1(WAN port,right?); then connected an Ethernet cable to ether2 and my laptop. i put the public ip add from the service provider(196.0.32.206/30) on ether1.
i put my laptop in dhcp mode, picked ip add of gateway as 192.168.88.1. that’s how i got to the winbox menu and tried to do some configuration of ip addresses, a default route to the internet. i also configured NAT using the commands in the manual.
unfortunately, i have still failed to connect to the internet. i can’t ping my gateway at the service provider (196.0.32.205/30).
