Mikrotik is awesome. They are super powerful and super flexible.
But they don’t hold your hand, and have a hell of a learning curve.
Luckily, the quick-set default config thing is actually decent these days. So it’s easy enough to get a basic setup going, then figure out how the bridge works, vlan tagging, where to add IPs, DHCP settings, DNS whatevers and all that.
It took me about 6 run through of setting it up before I stopped locking myself out accidentally! Probably another 6 before I was confident setting up a new vlan with routing/DHCP/etc.

Just be aware that there are a lot of popular tutorials out there based on older versions of the software, and older ways of doing things. Look for videos from 2022+
