Configuration
The device is configured as a wireless access point, with the Ethernet port configured as a DHCP client, for
connecting to your ISP router or switch. A DHCP server is configured on the wireless interface.
We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button in the QuickSet menu, as updating your RouterOS software
to the latest version ensures the best performance and stability. For wireless models, please make sure you have
selected the country where the device will be used, to conform with local regulations.
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest
starting here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities: http://mt.lv/help. In case IP connection is not available,
the Winbox tool (http://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side
(all access is blocked from the Internet port by default).
For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device for reinstallation, see section Reset button.
