I get the routers to show up in Netinstall and choose my packages but when I press Install it does nothing. The “Ready” will disappear for around 5 seconds then come back up. I’ve tried it on two computers now. I’ve tried even Netinstalling different routers that I know are working but it won’t install the packages or the routeros. I’ve looked up guides and read the wiki. Maybe I’m just overlooking something simple.
I’m trying to unbrick some SXT routers that are stuck in a continuous boot loop. I can take some screenshots for you guys if that will help.
I’ve also opened a ticket with mikrotik support but have not got a response in over a week.
had a similar problem once and this is what i did:
disable “ALL” other network interfaces, including vpn, virtualbox, wirerless, etc
disable all firewall
disable all anti-virus
make sure you have a good cable
configure pc NIC for static IP, i.e. 192.168.88.10/255.255.255.0, dont need gateway
make sure net booting settings are correct in netinstall, i.e. use 192.168.88.10 for pc
run net install
press reset button and hold in
power up router while holding reset button in as per above
I’m using windows 10. Whats weird is that I was able to netinstall before on this same laptop a while back. Just recently tried to fix these routers and was only able to get netinstall to work by going through a different mikrotik which was setup as a switch.
