I have recently upgraded my router from a nearly 7 year old consumer “gaming” router to a Mikrotik RB960PGS router.
So far I have been able to:
- Remove all configurations
- Set a long admin password
- Create a bridge
- Setup DHCP server
- Set up NAT
- Set up Spark NZ fibre connection
- Update to latest stable firmware (7.15.2)
- Set up basic IPv4 & IPv6 firewalls
- Setup NTP & disable cloud/update time
- Set DNS to my Pi-hole
- Disabled the following IP services API, API-SSL, FTP, SSH, Telnet, & WWW-SSL
- Turned off “detect internet”
Is there any other “gotcha’s” or things that I should be setting up?
You should probably backup the config, just in case you mess something up when playing with settings.
That’s the next thing I plan on learning.
Then writing out a set of procedures so if I have to redo it I don’t forget anything.
