HomeLab #1: MikroTik as a Home Router
Summary
A practical, hands-on guide for building a MikroTik RouterOS home router as part of a home lab. The post covers WAN types (IPoE/PPPoE), VLAN tagging, MAC cloning for ISP authentication, CAPsMAN for centralized Wi-Fi management, and QoS techniques like FQ-CoDel to mitigate bufferbloat, with step-by-step MikroTik commands and caveats such as DS-Lite/CGNAT considerations.
