Solve eight critical scenarios: Internet down, can't access websites, slow networks, router admin lockout, DHCP failures, VPN connection issues, config change lockouts, and high CPU usage. Step-by-step diagnosis with decision trees and emergency recovery commands.

Real-time traffic monitoring with Torch (bandwidth analysis, find hogs, protocol breakdown) and Packet Sniffer (detailed PCAP capture for Wireshark). Learn filtering options, common troubleshooting scenarios (slow network, VPN issues, attacks), and best practices.

Master MikroTik logging: memory (default), disk (persistent), and remote (syslog). View and filter logs by topic/time/content, understand common log topics, and read specific messages (DHCP, firewall, VPN failures). Includes log management best practices and troubleshooting scenarios.

Troubleshoot and maintain MikroTik professionally in 59 minutes. Read logs effectively, use Torch for traffic analysis, solve common problems with decision trees, update RouterOS safely, and establish 30-minute monthly maintenance routines that prevent emergencies.

Quick VLAN reference for MikroTik network segmentation. Common VLAN IDs, IP organization, bridge VLAN commands, isolation patterns (guest, IoT, corporate), DHCP setup, bandwidth management, and troubleshooting.

Complete guest network configuration in 5 minutes. VLAN-based guest WiFi setup with complete isolation from internal networks, DHCP configuration, bandwidth limits, firewall rules, and optional captive portal. Includes verification commands and alternatives.

Ready-to-use bandwidth management policies for common office scenarios using Simple Queue and Queue Trees. Includes per-user limits, department-based allocation, priority-based QoS for VoIP, guest network limits, guaranteed bandwidth for servers, and time-based controls.

Production-ready 3-VLAN office configuration for MikroTik RouterOS 7. Corporate, guest, and IoT networks with complete isolation, DHCP servers, firewall rules, bandwidth management, and comprehensive testing procedures. Includes customization options.

Build complete guest network in 30 minutes. Combine VLANs (isolation), DHCP (auto IP assignment), firewall (Internet-only access), and bandwidth limits (50 Mbps). Includes optional captive portal, client isolation, and security verification ensuring guests can't access office network.

Advanced QoS using mangle rules to mark traffic and queue trees for protocol prioritization. Prioritize VoIP and gaming over downloads, use PCQ for fair sharing, create hierarchical bandwidth allocation by department, and monitor marked traffic in real-time.
