The Lab

Troubleshoot and maintain MikroTik professionally in 59 minutes. Read logs effectively, use Torch for traffic analysis, solve common problems with decision trees, update RouterOS safely, and establish 30-minute monthly maintenance routines that prevent emergencies.

Quick VLAN reference for MikroTik network segmentation. Common VLAN IDs, IP organization, bridge VLAN commands, isolation patterns (guest, IoT, corporate), DHCP setup, bandwidth management, and troubleshooting.

Complete guest network configuration in 5 minutes. VLAN-based guest WiFi setup with complete isolation from internal networks, DHCP configuration, bandwidth limits, firewall rules, and optional captive portal. Includes verification commands and alternatives.

Ready-to-use bandwidth management policies for common office scenarios using Simple Queue and Queue Trees. Includes per-user limits, department-based allocation, priority-based QoS for VoIP, guest network limits, guaranteed bandwidth for servers, and time-based controls.

Production-ready 3-VLAN office configuration for MikroTik RouterOS 7. Corporate, guest, and IoT networks with complete isolation, DHCP servers, firewall rules, bandwidth management, and comprehensive testing procedures. Includes customization options.

Build complete guest network in 30 minutes. Combine VLANs (isolation), DHCP (auto IP assignment), firewall (Internet-only access), and bandwidth limits (50 Mbps). Includes optional captive portal, client isolation, and security verification ensuring guests can't access office network.

Advanced QoS using mangle rules to mark traffic and queue trees for protocol prioritization. Prioritize VoIP and gaming over downloads, use PCQ for fair sharing, create hierarchical bandwidth allocation by department, and monitor marked traffic in real-time.

Control bandwidth with Simple Queue. Learn max-limit vs guaranteed bandwidth (limit-at), priority system (1-8), and bursting for better user experience. Configure per-user limits, guest network sharing, service guarantees, and monitor/troubleshoot queue performance.

Segment networks with VLANs for security and organization. Configure bridge VLANs, assign ports (tagged/untagged), set PVID, and enable VLAN filtering. Covers guest WiFi isolation, management access control, VoIP with QoS, and firewall rules for inter-VLAN restrictions.

Set up DHCP server with IP pools, network configuration, and lease management. Assign static leases for servers and devices. Learn best practice IP address organization, DHCP options (DNS, domain, NTP), and troubleshoot common DHCP issues like clients not getting addresses.
