Do you have some propose of which book to buy. Not for completely beginers.
I found this https://www.amazon.com/Theory-laborator ... 1686046960
https://www.amazon.com/Networking-Mikro ... 3ZVJDQH3HE
https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-Securit ... 3ZVJDQH3HE

I have this one, and do like it. (Do hope next edition has more on configuring VLAN with bridge/switch, but the basics are included already)

second, good

That is a good beginners book that should be paired with the first of the two, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08S3 ... ype=ebooks.
He gives examples in CLI and GUI at basic levels in the first and the second covers more advanced topics.

I have this one as well and it is a good reference book for using the GUI interface and is geared more towered the intermediate user. The only thing both books lack is IPV6 information and setup. For that, you will have to search the forums for the information you are looking for. Also, a good reference site for cheat sheets for various protocols is packetlife.net.

I have all of the above but waiting for this one due to come out in 2025.
RouterOS-7 by Example THIRD EDITION

My only books are Internet. (Forum, Google, YouTube)

There are a lot of info online. I've never thought about book... till now

I wish there was more information about the book, like a "look inside" to at least see what the table of contents is.
$60 is a lot to spend based only on amazon reviews, without knowing what is covered. And this is especially true for a book published in 2016, which is arguably obsolete, especially since v7 has been released.

The Tyler Hart books at least have "look inside". But they are study guides, and I don't have any idea if they answer any of the why is it done this way questions, and for me that is very important. I don't want a book that "preps" you to pass an exam, I want to understand how things work so the knowledge can be applied to new situations.

And I don't know if anything exists for home users that just want a recipe book for how to setup something more complex than the quickset or default configs allow.

On the Ubiquiti EdgeMAX forums, there a many noob questions that are re-asked on a regular basis. Some of the most common:
Why is my router so slow?
Why isn't port forwarding working?
How do I create vlans for IoT devices? (and shortly after, why doesn't chromecast/sonos/DLNA/printer discovery etc work any more?), and why can't I ping windows computers on a different subnet?
How can I get vpn to work?

There seem to be more english language youtube videos covering these topics for the Edgerouter than for the MikroTik routers. And there were some good EdgeMAX videos by Ben Pin that were well focused and had relatively high technical content. There seem to be quite a few non-english youtube and MUM presentations (but many of these appear to be "infomercials", with just teaser info).
For MikroTik RouterOS there is The Network Berg youtube channel, that I have been watching. I wish he had a place where he provided exports of the examples he covered, like Ben Pin did in his videos.

And I don't know of anything similar to what Mike Potts has for the ER-X, Ubiquiti Home Network.pdf https://github.com/mjp66/Ubiquiti/raw/m ... etwork.pdf That is a great resource for home users that want a more complex setup than the Edgerouter setup wizards can create.

The problem with the MikroTik forums is finding posts that apply to the hardware you have, for the version you are using, and have accurate info. But this is also true for any vendor's forum.

It appears that some of the posts that used to be in the wiki are gone. Here's an example (now only available on the wayback machine) https://wiki.mikrotik.com/index.php?tit ... ldid=22133 you can retrieve from the wayback machine here https://web.archive.org/web/20210509042 ... ldid=22133

MikroTik Security Guide by Tyler Heart

I do have this one. It may be a bit outdated and Mikrotik default-configuration security measures improved meanwhile. But concepts still apply. I found it easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone new to Mikrotik universe.

Almost a book..........
Not many topics but thats due to the limitations of the author.
viewtopic.php?t=182373

PS I too am waiting for Router OS by example for 7.X

I had and then returned Vittore Zen books. As I recall they were a mess and disposition wise a jungle to read.

Tyler Harts books
https://www.amazon.com/Networking-Mikro ... 973206358/
https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-Securit ... 1549893408
are old now.

So is the RouterOS by Example by Stephen Dischler. https://www.amazon.com/RouterOS-Example ... 692777903/

These ones seems to be oriented after version 7 and published recently:

https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-Switchi ... 08ZT2BK6N/ 272 pages MikroTik Switching with LABS: Master Switching on MikroTik – All Topics in the MTCSWE Certification exam are covered.
Seems a bit low on content for an exam book.

https://www.amazon.com/Multicast-MikroT ... 092DR6XH6/ 138 pages. Multicast on MikroTik with LABS: Master Multicast on RouterOS using step-by-step LABS
Why would I want to learn Multicast?

I have https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-Switchi ... 08ZT2BK6N/ and is more like comics book also content is ... let say if someone think this book can help him for MTCSWE .. will fail epicly

I get the book after I take the exam

Btw @Mikrotik team, please make MTCSWE on two parts or extend exam time to 1.30h

I bought "Theory, laboratories and exercises for Mikrotik RouterOS - Routing", but honestly, I learned more from this forum.

I am waiting for next edition of Dischers RouterOS by example for version 7 firmware!!
