Guide for connection mikrotik router with dsl isp modem/router

Fri Sep 29, 2017 1:45 pm

Hi I have the mikrotik router rb951g-2hnd .I have trouble connecting it to the modem/router provided by my isp, and use the latter as just a modem. I can’t have an internet connection. I have followed a few generic guides, put the isp router in bridge mode, turned off dhcp server nat, etc, but it doesn’t work. Is there a more detailed, brand specific, but basic level guide, of how to achieve connection between the microtik router and the modem? thank you

Can you draw a diagram of what your wanting, along with services and IP schemes?

A text example:
ISP Modem (public IP) - > MikroTik on ether1 (client dhcp set to grab public IP from ISP) - > ether2-ether10 will be bridge switch offering DHCP to my lan. Etc. you get the idea.

isp adsl modem/router(set as i have read in generic guides in bridge mode, dhcp server NAT firewall off, IP dynamic by ISP)->lan cable in mikrotik lan ports,( have tried all of them) -> lan to PC for configuration, wifi on. In normal circumstances all devices are connected through wifi, I have to use a 15 meters cable to connect to the router and modem in serial to make the changes. Now only the modem is on in normal mode because otherwise I wouldn’t had internet. Is there a basic guide provided by Mikrotik of how to connect the routers with modem?

I'm not sure if there is one. Here is what you'll need to do.

Plug the ISP modem into ether1 on the MikroTik. This will become your WAN port. The other ports will become switch ports called bridge-LAN.

Below is a sample config for you. Plug a laptop/PC into ether2. Then negotiate a connection to the MikroTik with Winbox using a MAC address. Go to System / Reset Configuration. Check No Default and Do Not Backup. Reboot. Then slowly copy paste each section of this script into a terminal window. If you get disconnected, just connect back again.
# Configure ports
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] master-port=none
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] master-port=none
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] master-port=ether2
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] master-port=ether2
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] master-port=ether2


# Create and setup bridge
/interface bridge

What kind of modem you ISP gave you? Is is xDSL? Don't You have to configure ppp/pppoe user/password?

If this isn't a DSL/cable modem, why not get rid of it, and use just the mikrotik?

*EDIT*

Just saw the "dsl" part. Well, did You set up user/password? With the modem bridged, the router will have to do the authentication part.

Generally, the parts with /interface ethernet will kick you off. So, I would get through that, then you can reconnect and try pasting it all. Better to go a couple of sections at a time and check for errors.

Tried again with graphic ui, Winbox, until now no skript. Reset router and make the topology again, it connects with pppoe to the isp and gets external ip. Pinged 8.8.8.8 Google OK. Web connectivity is not working. Windows 7 diagnostics showed the dns server problem. I go to Winbox ip-dns it is empty. Alow remote requests is ticked. Googled for the problem, couldn't find something.

Android phone has web connectivity, I am posting through this.

Hello PCUNITE,

Good Day..
I have questions about my newly purchased mikrotik RB750. I have currently 2 ISP_DSL wired connections (i disabled all wifis on them) which i need to connect to my new mikrotik router. What are prerequisite settings (if there are) on my ISP_DSL modems before configuring my mikrotik?

# Configure ports
/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] master-port=none
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] master-port=none
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] master-port=ether2
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] master-port=ether2
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] master-port=ether2

Yes, I'm dragging up an old post but there isn't much out which answers these questions.

I'm in the process of putting my ISP router into Bridge Mode and then using my RB2011UiAS-RM as a router for the home network.

When I stumbled across your post I thought I was on a winner but I'm guessing commands have changed significantly in the last two years since you made the post first time around.

When I add the about line by line I get no further than the first line then an error
expected end of command (line 1 column 34
Is the original code tweakable for the latest firmware?

Thanks guys!
