ISPApp works behind carrier grade NAT (CGNAT) to allow you to manage your MikroTiks even if you don't control the network. This is great for LTE/5G managed WAN service providers who use other mobile service operator networks.
You don't need a static Public IP address with iSPApp. ISPApp works with private IP addresses, inside IP addresses, behind NAT firewalls and with dynamic IP addresses, double NAT. ISPApp makes it easy to enable uPnP in double NAT firewall to fix Xbox NAT type strict problems that wireless internet service providers (WISPs) frequently experience.
ISPApp is easy to use and easy to install which makes it a perfect alternative to MikroTik The DUDE in 2022.
Email notifications on carrier changes and link down events alert your staff when there is a problem and ISPApp is perfect for fixed wireless access (FWA) networks using MIkroTik unlicensed point-to-multi-point outdoor (PMTP) NV2 or Nstreme wireless or Long Term Evolution (LTE) customer premises equipment (CPE).
Cloud Core Router (CCR) are great for data centers and Metro-E fiber-optic backhaul because of their link layer management features. With MikroTik's Ethernet Router product line you can have 1G, 10G, and 25G and 40G ports and speeds up to 100G on the backplane:

ISPApp became a certified Made for MikroTik software partner in 2022 to help providers integrate and update MikroTik solutions. We know that provisioning can be a lengthy process, but with the right tools, managing and updating your hardware fleet can become simple and seamless.
The benefits of MikroTik cloud management
With various MikroTik models available that can support up to 1 GB of RAM and data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, MikroTik routers are an ideal addition to diversify a hardware portfolio. The extensive feature set packed in with each device includes firewall, routing, MPLS, VPN, wireless, DHCP, hotspot, Quality of Service (QoS), proxy, and various other tools.
While the advantages are evident, a lack of centralized MikroTik cloud management options can present challenges. For one ISP on Reddit, handling a growing number of devices became overwhelming and time-consuming:
Without needing existing provisioning scripts or tools in place, our ISPApp platform enables individual MikroTik updates that otherwise would take installation technicians normal of 15 actions per router to perform. Numerous ISPs have turned to free network operation tools like The DUDE to fix this frustration, but the DUDE relies on a non-changing network static IP addresses and online updates frequently cause fresh way that are complicated or clumsy. For example, the simple task of checking which Wi-Fi devices are connected to a subscriber’s network would cause ISPs to log directly into the subscriber's router using Winbox. Formerly there, providers would work tools like rogue DHCP servers and connected wireless guests to identify each device by its individual hostname and MAC address.
With an answer like ISPApp, all of this data is shown right on a central cloud server dashboard. Our natural IoT fingerprinting will likewise consequently fill in gadget data like producer, make, and model for added visibility. ISPApp's Flash Tool chops down provisioning time to ~2-3 minutes for each gadget, while our bulk onboarding choice is likewise accessible to clients ready to do somewhat more organization arrangement. Subsequent to arranging an organization switch and a Raspberry Pi with our ISPApp group, clients can streak 20 units inside the space of minutes with this mass instrument arrangement.

Enhancing the subscriber experience with value-added features
For ISPs looking to get serious about enhancing their service, an affordable central management platform with built-in security is the way to go. In addition to time savings and a simplified setup, a MikroTik cloud management solution will deliver:
Cybercrime is at an all-time high post-pandemic, and web applications simply can’t provide the defense mechanisms necessary to ensure an attack stays isolated. Consider investing in an affordable IoT Firewall solution for an additional layer of protection. This will help proactively defend subscribers against a breach or security threats from unknown devices. Most importantly, guest network users are blocked from accessing WebFig, the RouterOS configuration tool, to prevent devices from becoming compromised and sparking a lateral attack.
Work From Home and Parental Controls
In our new WFH and digital parenting era, subscribers will be grateful for the ability to set network boundaries, monitor device activity, and optimize their WiFi performance with the support of your service.
Device fingerprinting
Network health tracking
WiFi optimization and device performance insights
Parental controls with internet schedules, content filters, time limits, and more.

Beyond configuration and security capabilities, third-party software management platforms, like ISPApp, can help network operators deliver the tools and WiFi management features subscribers are looking for. Convenience is integral to a positive user experience, which is why we added the ISPApp Installer for MikroTik tool to enable MikroTik router support on the ISPApp platform. Doing so unlocks even more features for a MikroTik device, including:
Our cloud-based software and effortless provisioning process eliminate the need for truck rolls to update already-deployed devices. Once ISPApp’s software is installed, your team would also have clear visibility into your subscriber LANs with deep device fingerprinting and management tools for fast resolution. ISPApp makes these features available through our intuitive web portal and mobile app.
Internet subscribers like having choices. The average U.S. home Wi-Fi internet subscriber has a bunch of routers and is running subscriptions across music, gaming, and streaming platforms in 2022, and there is a similar preference for optionality when it comes to internet service packages. Parks Associates found that nearly half of U.S. broadband households have adopted at least one value-added service from their ISP in an effort to customize their service plans. To meet this growing desire for more flexibility of choice and high-speed connection, many ISPs have expanded their hardware portfolios to include MikroTik devices.
