Thanks for this guide!!! I found this to be the easiest one for me to follow and get my wifi working.

Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad the content was useful to you! Note that in the video I showed Wi-Fi 2.4 using the G band [00:10:05] but the ideal would be to use N or even AX. What would you like to see in the next videos? Best regards!

Thanks for great tutorial. I'd love to see in next tutorial as someone metioned earlier how to secure the router - firewall configuration and IPv6 configuration.

I'd love you to show us how would you create vlan's that are accessible via Wi-Fi in this RouterOS version.

Hello! Thanks for your feedback! That's a great idea. Soon I'll make a video about VLANs and WIFI.

Great tutorial, thanks. I'm thinking of buying this router. Can I configure SQM/Piece of cake with this device? Also, can I use WebDAV, torrent client with USB 3.0 port or use it as NAS with a disk? If possible, it would be great if there are videos about these topics.

@ThalesTheTrainer 2 ай бұрын

Hello friend, thanks for your feedback. RouterOS supports a great structure for packet queueing... It's not exactly like SQM but I consider it better and more versatile because you can mark packets and connections as you wish and use those marks to limit, priorize and guarantee as you wish too using the RouterOS queue tree/HTB. About WEBDAV and other questions: this router supports container so it's infinity possibilities.

Thanks for the tutorial. I am looking for a wireless router which supports more than 2 SSIDs to segment my home network (I want to put my IoT devices in a separate network). Does this router supports this?

@ThalesTheTrainer 18 күн бұрын

Yes this router suport it. I'll do some video about it in the next weeks, it's called Virtual AP. Basically you can create up to 127 virtual ap (each one with own SSID and IP, DHCP, etc) per physical interface. It is not recommended to create more than 30, since the performance will start to degrade.

I have the Mikrotik hap ax3 (v7.16.1) and want to create at least 3 SSIDs. The already installed package wifi-qcom does not show “Wireless” in the menu where you can create a virtual ap. I can install the wireless package. Then “Wireless” is shown in the menu. Does it matter which package I install? Is wifi-qcom better than wireless package for the hap ax3?

@sep2620-q8q 12 күн бұрын

Oh when I enable the wireless package the wireless interfaces are not visible in Wireless Tables.

@ThalesTheTrainer 4 күн бұрын

Yes, wifi-qcom it's better than wireless package because it's wifiwave2, so you have new drivers, WPA3, fast roaming and a lot of new stuff. The AX interfaces (wifi6) are shown in the WiFi menu. To create multiple SSIDs, you just need to click in the "+" button on WiFi menu, select MODE (probably AP) and the master interface and use the "configuration" and "security" tabs to do the rest. It's pretty same to the VIRTUAL AP configuration on Wireless package. Since RouterOS V7.13 we have these changes in wireless packages. You can see more details here: help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/pages/1409138/Wireless Probably my next video will be about WiFi, Multiple SSIDs and VLANs configuration!

Why did only one of the two wifi SSID's appear on the Windows Wi-Fi list for you to connect to?

@ThalesTheTrainer Ай бұрын

The two SSID have the same "name"? It's possible that you're using a range of frequency or band do not supported by the device. In the video I've used the band G but the best option it's AX or even N, for example. Try to change the band and let me know.

I was asking for you in your video. Only one was present. But your tips are still very good information I didn’t know. Thanks for that.

@ThalesTheTrainer Ай бұрын

@@stevefeinstein Oh my bad, thanks for your feedback! Soon I'll make a new video with wifi + vlan and sure I'll make double SSID!

@hscott4190 28 күн бұрын

the router has an option to make the ssid show up as one or seperater 2.4 or 5 but you have to uncheck if you want to see both

Why use the only PoE/2.5Gbit port on the router as WAN? It seems a bit like waste of possibilites to me...

@ThalesTheTrainer 4 ай бұрын

Hello! I agree that this interface has many possibilities, such as a local file server or something that requires a lot of available bandwidth! But this first video is intended to be simple and practical for beginners, without going too far into all the possibilities. What would you like to see in the next videos? Best regards!

@JarnoSuni1 3 ай бұрын

Can't you use another port as WAN by it?

@ThalesTheTrainer 3 ай бұрын

@JarnoSuni1 The magic of RouterOS is exactly this: you can configure it as you want and need. I mean it's totally possible to configure another interface as WAN port.

Este modelo tem Hotspot?

@ThalesTheTrainer 4 күн бұрын

@@adaltromuniz3250 Sim, certamente! Todos os roteadores da Mikrotik, com wi-fi ou sem, suportam a função de hotspot, basta que tenha a licença level 4 ou superior.

@Anavllama 2 ай бұрын

Generally speaking, its a very bad idea to add your WAN connection BEFORE setting up the rest of the router, especially the firewall rules. Thus I would change the order of what you do or at least create the WAN port, disable it, and at the end enable it and finish.

Hello my friend, thanks for your feedback! I agree with you, especially if you receive a Public IP Address directly in your router. I did this way because it's in a controlled environment (virtual lab) and it's easier to people understand all the steps to a LAN works. The video 2 here in the channel it's about securing the router! If you want any content here, let me know.
