Getting Started: MikroTik Troubleshooting (Basics to Advanced)

Having problems with connectivity and not sure what tools to use to try and troubleshoot the issues? This video aims at trying to help people better understand the tools at their disposal when it comes to troubleshooting on MikroTik. I will show you how to run pings, traceroutes, setup logging as well as packet sniffing on the MikroTik devices and give you some friendly pointers on where to go if you are not finding answers to your issues.

I hope you learn something new from the video and if you have any questions or want to see me creating something that you are interested feel free to drop a comment :)!
