New guide. Old one is here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4202122
I'm sure you all will let me know if got any mistakes. smile.gif

First post is only using terminal and command line.
Second post is using Quickset and a bit of command line.

I'm lazy to put screenshots. Maybe later.

Winbox
I suggest using Winbox to configure your Mikrotik router. Download from https://mikrotik.com/download
You can also SSH to the router or use the web configuration page which has a terminal.

Defaults
IP: 192.168.88.1
Username: admin
Password: blank

Ports
LAN port 1 (ether1) is your WAN port. (Connect modem here)
LAN Port 2-5 for your devices. Later we can use port 5 for UnifiTV.

Command Line Method

OK, let's go

Connect to the router using Winbox and open a New Terminal or use SSH. Change to your Unifi username and password first then copy and paste the commands below

CODE
/system package enable ipv6

/system reset-configuration


/interface vlan add interface=ether1 name=vlan500 vlan-id=500

/interface pppoe-client add add-default-route=yes use-peer-dns=yes disabled=no interface=vlan500 name=pppoe-out1 password=fmsSJQEMtvuTy user=myusername@unifi
/interface list member add interface=pppoe-out1 list=WAN

/ip upnp

set enabled=yes

/ip upnp interfaces

add interface=bridge type=internal

add interface=pppoe-out1 type=external

Done. That's all you need for a very basic setup. Internet should be working now.
Explain a bit

First ensure IPv6 package is enabled. This is just to get the IPv6 firewall rules configured in case we want to setup IPv6 in the future.
CODE

/system package enable ipv6


Reset to default configuration. Very important. Router will be reboot.
CODE

/system reset-configuration


When you reconnect, the router will ask you to change password.

Create VLAN 500.
CODE

/interface vlan add interface=ether1 name=vlan500 vlan-id=500


Create PPPoE Client
CODE


/interface pppoe-client add add-default-route=yes use-peer-dns=yes disabled=no interface=vlan500 name=pppoe-out1 password=fmsSJQEMtvuTy user=myusername@unifi


Add PPPoE client to the WAN interface list
CODE
/interface list member add interface=pppoe-out1 list=WAN


Enable UPNP. Not mandatory but many apps uses UPNP.
CODE

/ip upnp

set enabled=yes

/ip upnp interfaces

add interface=bridge type=internal

add interface=pppoe-out1 type=external


WiFi, UnifiTV & IPv6
Wait ya.
