Mikrotik Router Setup

The first step is the same for both Static and Dynamic IP address configurations: change your router’s DNS servers to SafeDNS addresses - 195.46.39.39 and 195.46.39.40
To do that, open the configuration page of the Mikrotik router, and browse the following option:
Menu > IP >DHCP Server > Networks
