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.

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


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.


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


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

Create VLAN 500.


Create PPPoE Client


Add PPPoE client to the WAN interface list


Enable UPNP. Not mandatory but many apps uses UPNP.


WiFi, UnifiTV & IPv6
Wait ya.

Quickset Method (with a bit of command line)
Here we use Quickset plus a bit of command line.

For Quickset, we can use Winbox or Web configuration. Advantage of Quick Set is that you can easily set PPPoE, WiFi, VPN all on one screen. No need command line until the end.

Begin
Connect to router and choose "Quick Set" in Winbox.

For router only, choose "Ethernet" from the Quick Set dropdown menu.
For wifi router choose - actually I forgot what it's called exactly - Home AP or something like that.

Fill in the blanks
Everything is on one page.


Mode: Router

Address Acquisition: PPPoE

PPPoE User: username@unifi

PPPoE Password: fmsSJQEMtvuTy

DHCP Server: Checked

NAT: Checked

If it's a WiFi router, enter your preferred SSID and password.

Can also enable VPN if you like.

Command Line bit
Now finish up with a little bit of command line.


That's it. You should now have internet, WiFi and maybe even VPN.

Explanation
Create VLAN 500


Set the PPPoE Client to VLAN 500


Enable UPNP

The vlan part is different. I’ll do one for ros7 also. Makan first.

Correction: The above will work with RouterOS 6 for a simple config. However if you have additional internal VLANs, it probably won't work. There's another way to do the vlans.

Mine is automatically MTU 1480 & MRU 1492.

If I set MTU to 1492, also get the same thing.

I think I read the same thing also but didn't really test what they said about hwoffload and vlans. Anyways this is how my vlans are set with a single bridge1 and all ether ports are running with hwoffload. This is on RB5009.

- I use vlan50 for LAN traffic.
- My modem & router are upstairs. That's why my hypptv vlan600 is trunked to the Hypptv STB downstairs.

So for simpler setup, maybe something like this:

- where ether2 is wan port and ether8 is hypptv port.

btw, switch chip ethernet hwoffload for hAP ax3 not implemented yet. So, for now, you won't see the hwupload flag no matter what you do.
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/...dwareOffloading
See footnote 6 for IPQ-PPE.
6. Currently, HW offloaded bridge support for the IPQ-PPE switch chip is still a work in progress. We recommend using, the default, non-HW offloaded bridge (enabled RSTP).

Me too. While the above works for me, I'm not 100% sure that it's correct way to do it.

So essentially, this guide is like blind leading the blind.

Which vendor is 00:00:5E ? I do lookup, I got ICANN, IANA?
