## Overview

Easy Config is the guided setup that turns a freshly added MikroTik into a
working router. It walks through five steps called **Choose**, **WAN**,
**IP-Mask**, **WiFi** and **VPN Server**, collecting everything it needs, and
then applies the whole configuration to the router in a single batch while a
progress dialog tracks it.

On a router the panel has never configured, the wizard is not optional: opening
any other section redirects you here, and the section tab bar stays hidden
until the wizard reports 100%. You can also come back to it later from
**Diagnostics → Reset and Reconfigure**.

## Before you start

- The router has been added and you are connected to it. See
  [Adding a router](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/add-router/).
- You know which physical port each uplink is wired to.
- If you plan to use the IP-Mask step, have the WireGuard config file or the
  L2TP server address and credentials to hand.
- Applying rewrites the router's addressing, so expect the connection to drop
  briefly partway through. Read the emergency access note in
  [Applying the configuration](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/apply/)
  before you start.

## Steps

1. [Choose a setup mode](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/mode/), which is
   **Dual-Link** or **Starlink-Only**. This decides which later steps you see.
2. [Pick the WAN interfaces](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/wan/) for each
   uplink.
3. [Configure the IP-Mask VPN client](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/ip-mask/)
   that hides the Starlink IP.
4. [Set up WiFi](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/wifi/), giving a network name and
   password.
5. [Set up the VPN server](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/vpn-server/), if
   you want devices to be able to dial back in. This step is skipped in
   Starlink-Only mode.
6. Press **Apply** on the last step and watch the progress dialog. See
   [Applying the configuration](/en/guides/nasnet-panel/easy-config/apply/).

## Reference

| Step | Stepper title | What it covers |
| ---- | ------------- | -------------- |
| 1 | **Choose**, the setup type | Dual-Link or Starlink-Only. |
| 2 | **WAN**, the uplink interfaces | Which port carries each uplink. |
| 3 | **IP-Mask**, the Starlink VPN client | WireGuard or L2TP client on the Starlink link. |
| 4 | **WiFi**, the wireless network | SSID, password, band split. |
| 5 | **VPN Server**, the inbound VPN | OpenVPN server and its first user. Dual-Link only. |

**Next** moves forward and is blocked with an explanation if the current step
is incomplete. **Back** returns to the previous step. On the last step the
primary button becomes **Apply**.

## Troubleshooting

**Every section redirects back to the wizard.** That router has not completed
Easy Config yet. Finish the wizard, or check that the panel can read the wizard
status from the router, so a failing status check is treated as "not configured".

**"Missing router credentials."** The session lost the credentials for this
router. Go back to the Routers list and reconnect.
