[AFMUG] RouterOS tweaks for SoHo WiFi router

[Ken Hohhof]

Do any of the Mikrotik consultants have a recommended template for tweaking 
the parameters on a Mikrotik router for SoHo use?  Doesn't have to be free 
if it's track tested and good.

Not looking for firewall or QoS rules, I know those are out there.  More 
interested in the WiFi parameters and maybe stuff like DHCP and DNS 
parameters.

Silly me, I assume the Mikrotik defaults should be good, and maybe that's 
true.  Normally the only thing I change is I bump up the DHCP lease time 
from 10m to 1d if it's not a public hotspot.  I have heard some people 
suggest things like disable 802.11b and set a minimum signal to connect.

I'm struggling a bit with homes that have a boatload of portable devices, 
which are constantly going to sleep to save batteries, or moving to places 
with poor signal, or leaving in the car and coming back.  iPhones/iPads seem 
more troublesome than Androids and laptops.
