Simplest way to make sure you have absolutely clean router is to run

Set bridge and IP address is quite easy:
| Code Block | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

/interface bridge add name=local /interface bridge port add interface=ether2 bridge=local /ip address add address=192.168.88.1/24 interface=local |
...
Dynamic address configuration is the simplest one. You just need to set up DHCP client on public interface. DHCP client will receive information from internet service provider (ISP) and set up IP address, dnsDNS, ntp NTP servers and default route for you.
...
To set this in RouterOS we will manually add IP address, add default route with provided gateway and set up DNS server

/ip address add address=1.2.3.100/24 interface=ether1 |
...
/ip route add gateway=1.2.3.1 |
...
/ip dns set servers=8.8.8.8 |
PPPoE connection
PPPoE connection also gives you dynamic IP address and can configure dynamically DNS and default gateway. Typically service provider (ISP) gives you a username and password for connection

/interface pppoe-client |

Verify connectivity
After successful configuration you should be able to access internet from the router.
Verify IP connectivity by pinging known ip IP address (google dns DNS server for example)
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

[admin@MikroTik] > /ping 8.8.8.8
HOST SIZE TTL TIME STATUS
8.8.8.8 56 47 21ms

Verify DNS request

If everything is set up correctly, ping in both cases should not fail.
