Re: Transferring L4 license from dead rb411 to new rb411

Hi Proximus,
You are right.
I was looking for an RB411 for sale and couldn't find one. As you stated, the current RB411 variants come with an L4 license.

Re: Transferring L4 license from dead rb411 to new rb411

Thanks for the answer. I suspected that Mikrotik would not renew the license.

I would probably have better luck convincing Mikrotik that pigs fly.

Re: Transferring L4 license from dead rb411 to new rb411

Yes, I meant "broken". I DID NOT mean lost or stolen.

The RB411 DOES NOT come with L4 license. It comes with L3 license. Look here: https://mikrotik.com/product/RB411

I still need and answer to my question.

Transferring L4 license from dead rb411 to new rb411

Hi,
I have a Mikrotik RB411 that is about 7 years old and is dead. It doesn't respond to a computer connected to it with an ethernet cable.

I bought an L4 license for it and I would like to transfer this L4 license to a new RB411.

How do I do this?

Thanks,

Re: How do i turn off wireless on RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN

I tried what you suggested and didn't see a tab for "TX Power".

I noticed that you had advanced mode turned on. As soon as I turned on advanced mode, the "TX Power" tab appeared.

Thanks for the help.

Hi folks,

How do I set the time using the NTP client?

I have the NTP client installed and running, but I can't seem to find the command to set the time. After a reboot, the NTP client doesn't automatically reset the system clock.
