Belajar Mikrotik untuk pemula - Part 8/26

Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to configure MikroTik devices using a web interface as an alternative to Winbox. It covers accessing the device through a browser (HTTP/HTTPS), performing basic configurations like adding interfaces, and using the QuickSet feature for faster setups. The session explains how to set the device in modes like point-to-point or access point and provides practical examples for home and network configurations. The tutorial encourages using both Winbox and web interfaces for various MikroTik setup tasks, with a future session focusing on default configurations.

Takeaways
