Bought an RB5009 to upgrade my new home lab. Excited to try it out. Any recommendations for a noob like me to get started with RouterOS using TIME Broadband?
Also, a recommendation for Synchroweb Technology. The first unit they gave me had a strange rough mark on the bottom metal plate (see photo) and after discussing with the sales rep, they sent Lalamove to pick it up and replace with another unit. Definitely can recommend   |

QUOTE(rezzorix @ Dec 16 2021, 05:51 PM) Simplest way go start is; Thanks for the steps man. So I did all of that and everything seems to be OK and I am connected to WAN.- Download Winbox - Plug-in WAN from Modem to ETH1, and your computer into ETH2... - Connect with Winbox to the router - Go to "Quick Set" and check for updates, install updates, reboot, and reconnect to router - Go again to "Quick Set" -- Configuration: Router -- Internet: Port ETH1 -- Address Aquisition: PPPoE --- PPPoE User (your time username) --- PPPoE Password (password) -- Local Network --- set as you need You should be connected to internet... now you can setup your LAN as you need etc.  But wow, for a noob like me, I didn't realize how complicated RouterOS is  Trying to set up firewall rules but have to figure out what all these default firewall rules mean. Learning about chains first |

QUOTE(Gaara92 @ Dec 18 2021, 09:59 PM) Nice deal. Mine got for RM900 for the RB5009 and RM60 for the rackmount kit. I am a returned customer so yeah they got discount for that Yeah, I still think RM1000 was a good deal with the rackmount kit since it was sold out at SubTel and Precomp was selling for RM1023 without rackmount kit. But this was my first purchase with them so hopefully when I go back to purchase the CRS328-24P-4S+RM switch from them when they get stock, I can ask for a bit of discount  |
