MikroTik – Advanced Course (MT2)

Networking, MikroTik

This advanced course focuses on network defense using perimeter traffic filtering with a stateful firewall organized by zones (internal, Internet, DMZ). You will learn configuration of packet filtering, policy placement toward the ISP, and practical perimeter protection techniques.

The course also covers advanced firewall features such as NAT types and connection tracking, remote access via IPsec and WireGuard, controller-managed Wi‑Fi (CAPsMAN) and hands-on labs to practice real-world network and wireless management scenarios.

THIS TRAINING COURSE WILL HELP YOU:

  • Deepen skills in zone-based stateful firewall design
  • Use advanced packet filtering and matching
  • Configure CAPsMAN for controller-managed Wi-Fi
  • Apply knowledge in practical lab scenarios

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Network administrators seeking advanced security skills
  • Technicians working with MikroTik routers and switches
  • IT pros focusing on Wi-Fi deployment and optimization
  • Specialists responsible for network security and performance
