How to Set Up the MikroTik ISP Starter Kit — Step by Step
Step 1: Plan Your Network Architecture
Map out your NOC/Core site (CRS310 + uplink), tower site (sector antenna), and subscriber premises (LHG dish + hAP ax lite). Connect your ISP Billing Platform to the MikroTik API early — it manages authentication, bandwidth, suspension, and invoicing automatically.
Step 2: Configure the CRS310 Managed Fibre Switch
Open Winbox, set up management, subscriber, and backhaul VLANs, assign SFP ports to your fibre uplink, enable SNMP for your ISP Billing System, and disable unused ports.
Step 3: Set Up PPPoE Subscriber Authentication
Use a MikroTik hEX S RB760iGS or MikroTik hEX RB750Gr3 as your PPPoE server. Enable PPPoE Server in Winbox, create subscriber bandwidth profiles, connect RADIUS to your ISP Billing Platform, and enable the MikroTik API for automated suspension and reactivation.
Step 4: Mount and Configure the Sector Antenna
Pole-mount the mANT/SXT on your tower, power it via MikroTik RBGPOE PoE Injector using Cat6 outdoor UV-resistant cable, configure as an 802.11ac access point in RouterOS, and set bandwidth profiles matching your billing plan tiers.
Step 5: Install LHG Dish at Subscriber Premises
Mount the LHG dish pointing toward your sector antenna, power via PoE injector using Dutevolns Cat6 Indoor/Outdoor cable, configure as a CPE station in RouterOS, then bridge to the hAP ax lite indoor router.
Step 6: Deploy hAP ax lite as Subscriber Indoor CPE
Connect the hAP ax lite WAN port to the LHG output, configure as a PPPoE client with credentials from your ISP Billing System, set the Wi-Fi SSID and WPA3 password, and apply the subscriber's bandwidth plan limits.
Step 7: Connect ISP Billing for Full Automation
Connect your ISP Billing & Subscriber Management Platform to your MikroTik router via the API for automated invoicing, MTN/Airtel Mobile Money payment collection, real-time bandwidth management, automated suspension and reactivation, and a self-service subscriber portal.
