PPPoE server script generator
Click Generate script.
What each command does
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/ip pool | The range of addresses handed to connected customers. |
/ppp profile | One profile per plan: gateway address, pool, DNS and the speed limit. |
/interface pppoe-server server | The PPPoE service on the customer-facing interface. |
/ppp secret | The customer login and the plan it uses. |
Speed limit direction
In a PPP profile, rate-limit is written as rx/tx from the router’s point of view. That means upload/download for the customer: 10M/20M gives 10 Mbps up and 20 Mbps down. This tool takes upload first, then download, so you do not have to remember it.
Before you use it
- Change every sample password. Never keep the example credentials.
- Run the script on a lab router or a backup-ready router first. See how to back up a MikroTik configuration.
- Make sure the interface is not your management or WAN port, or you may lock yourself out.
- A PPP profile rate-limit is simple but not the only way to limit speed; see MikroTik simple queue and PPPoE user management.
FAQ
Is the generated script safe to paste into a live router?
Test it first on a lab router. It adds a pool, profiles, a PPPoE server and secrets. It does not remove anything, but a wrong interface or address range can still disturb a live network.
Does this work on RouterOS v6 and v7?
The commands used are the same in both. Check that your version supports the arguments by running the script on a test device.
Where do I paste the script?
Open New Terminal in WinBox, or an SSH session to the router, then paste the commands. See the 192.168.88.1 login guide if you need to log in first.
Are my passwords sent anywhere?
No. The script is built in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Still, treat any file that contains customer passwords as sensitive.

Sources and testing: Syntax follows MikroTik RouterOS documentation for IP pools, PPP profiles, the PPPoE server and PPP secrets. I checked the generator output logic with test inputs but did not run the commands on a physical router, so review the script before using it.
