I have a routerBoard 600 and I have reset all the configs using
setup → reset (x)
under command line
but even after reseting the router I geting defualt IP address (192.168.88.1/24 on ether1) I can’t ping it from my computer
I have tested my router with 3 computers but all gave me the same result.
and I’m sure there is no firewall either on my computer and router.
but the funny thing is, from winbox under interfaces options I can see my computer trying to ping the router but there is no result back from the router even from router console ping outside goes to waste.
what should I do? does it mean that the routerBoard is out of order in someway?
(please forgive me if I’ve asked my question in a wrong place though this is my first try in mikrorik’s forum)
regards.
I have had trouble with 600s with old software 3.7-3.15 there was a certain version where winbox was not so healthy
Try Neighbor Viewer ( Windows Tool available from Mikrotik Download Page)
if you can see the router in the List of Neighbor, Click Mac Telnet,
then issue the following command to the mikrotik routeros commandline
ip address add address=192.168.1.1/24 interface=ether1
set your Ip address on your PC to 192.168.1.2 with a subnetmask of 255.255.255.0
you should be able to ping it now / IP Winbox onto it
I’ve done what you written here but no luck
even I’ve reset the router without any configuration and I’ve given only an ip to ether1 through 3 but still same result.
I guess the hardware of router has some problem
Of the five RB600s that we deployed, we have had to pull four of them back because Ethernet ports stopped working. Typically ether1 would go bad first, even though POE would still work. Try assigning addresses to the other two ports, and see if you can ping those. If so, just use ether1 for power and connect another working port for data.
if your router got the 192.168.88.1 default address, it means it also loaded the default firewall, which protects the router from the WAN side (first port). this is normal.
LAN should be connected to the other ports.
If you prefer otherwise, reset the router with no defaults (/system reset no-defaults)
