OK I made a tiny progress. I found a win7 and installed winbox 3.40 64bit. I entered the IP, my last admin username (not the default) and the password. After a bit it came up. I selected system-> packages. I reported 7.12.1. I selected Check Installation and it reported OK. So I next clicked on the ...

I think I saved a config after I upgraded to 7.6. I will have to look. Unfortunately I made a lot of changes to dhcp lease reservation that are not in that backup. I have old linux that I have not had luck getting winbox to work. I think I have an old win7 computer that I might be able to get winbox...

Cant get webfig login prompt after updating to 7.12. I was at 7.6 on my RB450Gx4. Performed a package update to 7.12. After initiating the webpage did not update. I waited for 10 minutes and then tried to go to the webfig login. All I got was a "Connecting" in the webpage. Waited overnite ...

Wow! In the past I have extensively used terminal... Now I see that it does not work. when I login using the Webfig and select the Terminal I get a terminal window but it is empty! typing into this window yields nothing. See the attached image. oldunixguy Edit: Even though I select to add a file to ...

So to be clear, when entering data into WinBox or WebFig fields for the password one does NOT need to escape anything? And when one uses command line: /user edit abcde password or /user add name=abcde password=q?9^'pcT5jZ*z group=full which special characters need to be escaped? Does " and ' in...

I'm running router os 6.49.2. on RB450Gx4. I am able to set a user password containing special characters such as caret, question mark, and apostrophe using WebFig and WinBox. However, I cannot make it work from the command line. For example: /user add name=abcde password=q?9^'pcT5jZ*z group=full yi...

I've seen some weird packet issues when using RED for the defaults. So, I've gone back to SFQ for default but use RED for the bulky flows. The behavior of RED as default causes the VoIP queue to drop a single packet here and there when it does not appear to be under pressure. Perhaps there is somet...

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be wise to add this "workaround" to the manuals, guides, howots, etc. spread all around the internet? I didn't see this workaround and thus fell into the bug.

How long has this been a problem?

Thanks for the advice!

routeros 6.42.5 and 6.42.6 script /file not working as expected. the device is RB450Gx4 This code: :local ddnshost "google.com" :log info "Hostname = $ddnshost" :local ddnsip [:resolve $ddnshost] :log info "IP = $ddnsip" /tool fetch mode=https address=[:resolve ifconfig...

I already saw that list and that is what prompted me to ask for advice.... the list is long and the format of the specs make it very hard to compare.

I need a switch with 24 x 1gbps ports, NOT PoE, and such that I can control QoS by MAC address.

What should I consider?

thanks
