Check CPU, memory, uptime, interface state, and telemetry on a schedule — not when a customer calls. A router drifting toward saturation shows the warning signs in its health metrics long before users feel it.
MylesNet monitors router health out of the box on supported MikroTik devices, so your day starts from the dashboard, not from a complaint.
Backup every router's configuration, and keep the history. When something changes overnight and nobody remembers doing it, a backup history with drift detection turns a mystery into a diff. Restoring a known-good configuration is a minutes job instead of a rebuild.
This is the discipline that keeps one technician's 'quick change' from becoming next week's outage.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) centralises who gets on the network and with what speed. Hotspot logins, PPPoE sessions, and subscriber entitlements can all hang off one AAA service.
FreeRADIUS and full PPPoE provisioning are on MylesNet's roadmap. Until then, keep credentials, address allocations, and entitlements in one place on your side, so the move to centralised AAA later is a configuration change rather than a records project.
