Setting Up a PPPoE Client

MikroTik has the capability of dialing to the internet via a PPPoE connection which is
commonly used for ADSL and wireless Internet dialups. Simply set your ADSL modem into
ʻbridgeʼ mode which allows for other devices such as MikroTik routers to do the dialup.

In your MikroTik router, click on the ʻInterfacesʼ button and add a new PPPoE client.
Once the new PPPoe Client interface window opens, simply choose the Ethernet port of
your MikroTik router that will be connecting to your ADSL modem, in this example it will be
ether3
Once you have chosen your ADSL interface, proceed to the ʻDial Outʼ tab and specify your
PPPoE (ADSL) username and password and be sure to tick the option ʻUse Peer DNSʼ
which will allow the MikroTik to make use of your service providers DNS server.
