To connect to the router you have to set your computer to accept DHCP settings and plug in the ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports (please check for port numbering of the product you own, or check front panel of the router). Initial configuration has DHCP client on WAN interface (ether1), rest of the ports are considered your local network with DHCP server configured for automatic address configuration on client devices.
You can use the Reset Mac Address button on each interface to revert back to the factory hardware mac address. If you were to connect say ether1 between the old and new router they would both have the same mac-address on ether1 causing them to not communicate. This usually is not a problem unless you are using a backup to configure a second router. Important: When restoring a binary backup file to a new Mikrotik Router the backup will change the mac addresses of all interface to match the previous router. Note: If the config was originally encrypted you must first set the same admin password and reboot the new router before attempting to Restore.
