I know, hence in Corollary of Rule #8 a link is given to the default configuration of SoHo devices:

[8] The firewall is your only defense against the bad guys out there, think twice before changing anything in the default one, which is good enough in most cases. Only some Mikrotik devices come with a default configuration including the firewall, and even on those in some cases of reset or netinstall it is possible that these firewall rules are deleted, so better check and double check their existence before connecting to the internet. Even if not strictly speaking part of the firewall, the default settings make use of the categorization of interfaces (WAN and LAN in /interface list and actually used interfaces in /interface list member) and these should be checked to be correct and reflecting the actual WAN and LAN status of the interfaces, failing to do so may result in exposing the network to the outside and/or preventing access to the device. For those devices shipped with no default configuration, the first step should be to copy to them the default configuration taken from one of the Soho devices and published on the forum: Buying - RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition - Questions about Firewall - #4 by rextended , such configuration will need of course to be adapted to the device number of interfaces and settings of the bridge(s) if any.
