Please help, network configuration with RB751U-2HnD

Hi guys, I really need your help.

Recently I bought 751U-2HnD to replace my old router(poor-feature local brand one). Before I bought it, I heard that routerOS is for expert and hard to configure and when I got 751U, I found that it exceeds much of my IT knowledge. I tried several settings but all failed. Here’s my situation.

1 Line from ISP, DHCP, maybe it provides up to 5 public IP addresses.
My devices are PC, MacMini, Laptop, and iphone (Laptop is using wifi only.)

My “GOAL” is like this,
3 public IP to PC, MacMini, and 751U. (PC and MacMini are always on, so IP rarely changes)
Local wifi Network connects to the internet through NAT(751U). Giving public IPs to wifi devices is not possible because I have some visitors who need Internet Connectivity.


Please let me know how to achieve my goal using 751U.
Thank you!!!

Hi Kluniel,

as a start, have a read of this:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/How_to_configure_a_home_router

It is an excellent intro to setting up a home router.

It is very worthwhile to read through the whole article.
