Security
Router security by Michael Horowitz
NetUSB bug: If your router has a USB connection port, you really do need to make absolutely certain that it's not listening on its WAN interface port 20005.
IP settings
WAN: Set the WAN side to accept an IP number from a DHCP server
LAN: Set the LAN side to a fixed IP number and turn the DHCP server on unless there is already a DHCP server in the LAN side network
NAT
An expanation including UPnP, ALG and STUN
Port knocking
kockd can facilitate portnocking. This kind of port knocking can be unsafe in case a replay attack can be performed
fwknop is a client server solution
Dangers
Attack could let remote hackers target devices on the internal networks
Resetting
30-30-30 reset procedure
Logging in with default values

A green LED starts flashing to reset RouterOS configuration to defaults. 2. The LED turns solid green to clear all configuration and bridge all interfaces. 3.The LED is no longer lit (~20 seconds) to cause a device to look for Netinstall servers(required for reinstalling RouterOS over the network).
