Configuration Steps 

Naming Interface :

First of all we will name the interface by whom our MikroTik Router is connected to ISP either its SFP or Ethernet interface.It not a necessary step it is just to tag a label to interface  Let's suppose it is ehter1. You just need to double click on ehter1 and change the name from ether1 to WAN or don't change the name, Name it in comments.Click the comment button on right bar of tab and name it.

Applying IP Address:

Now go to IP > addresses at left side bar options.click on + sign to add IP address.Type IP address provided by ISP e.g. 57.22.123.22/29 and select interface WAN.

TIP: Don't forget to calculate the IP address if only Network address is provided by ISP.because that it is network address e.g. 202.125.142.64/28 and first usable IP is 202.125.142.65/28 that is being used by ISP and going to be use as Default Gateway for your MikroTik WAN connection.You can use  second usable IP that is 202.125.142.66/28 .Use IP Calculator for this.

Applying DNS Server:

Now go to IP>DNS at the left side bar options.you can use multiple DNS servers ip if you want to but two are enough.now its upto you what DNS you want to use .If your ISP has provided DNS use that or you can use 

Provider	Primary DNS Server	Secondary DNS Server
Google	8.8.8.8	8.8.4.4
DNS.WATCH	84.200.69.80	84.200.70.40
Comodo Secure DNS	8.26.56.26	8.20.247.20
OpenDNS Home	208.67.222.222	208.67.220.220

Applying Routes or Default Gateway: 

Now go to IP>Routes at the left side bar options.There you have to use the first usable IP address of the subnet provided by ISP in gateway as i used in TIP.Your default gateway will be 202.125.142.65.That is being used at ISP end configured for you.

Note : Type IP address only e.g. 

ping 202.125.142.65  

For testing the link with ISP goto terminal at side bar and type

ping GATEWAYIP  as i used as example is : ping 202.125.142.65

if your getting ping reply your connection is perfectly established with ISP

now ping google to check internet connection

ping 8.8.8.8
