Can't Reset or Connect to hAP lite (RB941-2nD-TC)

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Saw a similar issue recently posted about issues after upgrading to 6.33.5. However, my issues are slightly different. This is my first routerboard device, purchased it to tinker and judge it before purchasing a “beefier” dual ac model that hopefully is arriving soon. I receive internet into my home from ATT Uverse. I run only linux in my home.

I upgraded the router to 6.33.5, it seemed to not have any issues except that I was no longer broadcasting wifi. So I went downstairs, plugged my laptop into the router via ethernet cable and went through the normal webfig login and went into wireless to look at wlan. It seemed that even when enabling it, it would be say “connecting to network” or something similar (can’t look at it now). So I reset the wireless configuration. That didn’t seem to help and when I went to the QuickSet tab I noticed it was no longer on home AP. So I selected home AP and from then on I can not connect to the router.

I no longer receive an ip address when connecting my laptop to the the router. I have tried multiple cables and multiple ports. If I plug the ethernet cord directly from my laptop into the uverse router I receive an ip address. I can not connect to the router via webfig.

Using wine I have tried to connect to the router via winbox using both ip address and mac address. Neither will connect.

I have tried performing a netinstall via wine as well, setting a static ip address on my eth0 interface, booting the router and holding down the button until the usr led is completely off. It will not show up in netinstall.

I have tried resetting the router by pressing in the reset button and then powering on the device and letting go of the button when the led flashes.

I have tried resetting the router by pressing the reset button AFTER powering on the device and letting go of the button when the led flashes.

I have tried all of the above methods of trying to connect (webfig, wine and winbox, wine and netinstall) after multiple attempts at resetting the device different ways.

I took the device out of its enclosure and it doesn’t seem to have a jumper hole like other devices I’ve seen mentioned online.

Nothing works. The device boots, all leds seem to function (pwr led is on, leds come on when ethernet cords are plugged into ports, the wan port even flashes when connected to the uverse router. But it does nothing.

Anyone have any ideas? I’m fresh out.

With which ethernet port connect your PC?
Try connect with winbox
If you want to connect to the router board never use ether1.
Except for netinstall

Could not do that with any of my linux boxes. Finally had to bring windows laptop from home, connect to att router that is plugged into mikrotik port 1, and then winbox on windows discovered device. I reset the configuration, after configuration reset, quick set shows it is set to cpe. When I set it to home ap, everything isn’t autofilled as if I just bought it. I can’t get the address acquisition to automatically assign an ip address without first putting in an ip address under local network. I have set that to the ip address and gateway for the router, then press renew under address acquisition, and everything seems fine. However, I cannot get an ip address when I connect wirelessly. Also, when I connect via port 2 to my laptop I can be assigned an ip address but I can’t actually access the internet.

Reset the routerboard with standard configuration.
Not with quickset but with winbox.

I think the Routerboard is not correct reset with quickset.

If that not helps try netinstall on this way.
