Mikrotik RouterOS routers are ideal & affordable clients for the A&A L2TP service. This guide will walk you through taking a freshly factory reset RouterOS device & configuring it to connect to the A&A L2TP service over your existing internet connection.
This is a simple starter config that you can use to connect straight away, or to build from if you need something more complex.

# Read the whole guide before you start.
# Make sure you have a device running reasonably up to date RouterOS. This guide was written and tested using 7.16.1 on a [https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ax2 hAP ax2], but it should also work well with other affordable Mikrotik routers - such as the [https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 hAP ac2], the [https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750Gr3 hEX], or the [https://mikrotik.com/product/hex_2024 hEX Refresh].▼

# This guide assumes that ether1 is connected to your existing internet connection, and that DHCP will be used to get an IP address. Devices will be connected to ether2, ether3, ether4 and ether5, which we will bridge together. The PC being used for configuration should be connected to one of these four ports.
# Make sure you know your account details provided by A&A for the L2TP connection. Check what IP addresses you've been assigned too. This guide will assume you have 1x IPv4 assigned (198.51.100.127) and a /48 IPv6 block (2001:8b0:db8::/48).
# Make sure you know what IP address ranges your existing network uses - you will need to pick an IPv4 subnet that does not overlap. This guide will assume the typical Mikrotik default of 192.168.88.0/24.
# This guide assumes you start from a freshly factory reset router without any default configuration.
