Has anybody actually thought about adding a button to winbox to bring up the RouterOS manual?
Or, maybe some sample interface basic configs would be useful to new users.
Take a snapshot of the manual daily and/or weekly, and have it download, or it can open a web window. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Maybe layout (explain) the basic blank config, the default config, and home router config (as in my case of the RB750g3).
Not to be snarky or sarcastic, but the ChatGPT has been more helpful than trying to guess my way thru the Forum or RouterOS manual. I have an old MCSE
and not exactly a noob, but I am out of date. (I'm retired). These routers and winbox are really good powerful tools but are still beyond us that have build networks,
albeit simple ones.
To reiterate, the basic port configurations and configuration requirements for setting them up, would go a long toward visualization of commands and logic. Maybe
by comparing winbox to the command line.
(snark alert) If the goal is to keep users floundering and require the class, its working. I can move on. I wanted the best I could afford. (I got it but cant use it.)
If MikroTik wants more market share, for their simpler products, you need to dumb it down. I even find that remark insulting to such a powerful device and OS.
If you cant get basic(simple) documentation, no one has time to take a 3 credit class. (I wish i could, the rb750g3 is fascinating), but I can't make it work. I've been on
it for days and I am missing something. I know my need is simple and basic. (Just two ports, two networks, connected as one, with no restriction needed. (I dont care,
bridging or routing; all the machines need to get to each other.) The forum and videos are into the more esoteric stuff.
Please, consider this post as I intended, to be constructive.
