Description
Wireless networking has become an essential part of modern IT infrastructure, powering connectivity in homes, businesses, schools, hospitality environments, public venues, and service provider networks. As demand for reliable wireless connectivity continues to grow, understanding how to design, deploy, and troubleshoot wireless networks has become a critical skill for network professionals.
MikroTik is widely recognized for its versatile wireless solutions, supporting everything from indoor WLAN deployments to outdoor Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP) wireless networks. While MikroTik offers powerful wireless capabilities, achieving optimal performance requires a solid understanding of wireless principles, configuration best practices, and troubleshooting techniques.
This course provides a comprehensive guide to wireless networking with MikroTik, covering both foundational concepts and practical implementation. Topics include:
- Wireless Fundamentals,
- Wireless Tools on MikroTik
- Wireless Frequency mode and TX power change
- MikroTik Wireless Data rate and chains
- Wireless Link Quality - Troubleshooting
- Channel Width, Channel Bonding & Guard interval
- Wireless Protocols: Nstreme vs NV2
- Nstreme Dual
- Wireless Bridging on MikroTik
- MikroTik Wireless Repeater
- Wireless Bridging using EOIP and MPLS/VPLS
- Wireless Security
- Wireless WDS and Mesh
Through a combination of theory and hands-on lab exercises, students will gain the practical knowledge needed to deploy, optimize, and maintain MikroTik wireless networks in real-world environments.
Whether the goal is to build reliable wireless infrastructure, improve troubleshooting skills, or prepare for the MikroTik MTCWE certification exam, this course provides the knowledge and experience needed to work confidently with MikroTik wireless technologies.
