I have a Hex Lite and was using it with Bell Canada's DSL service without issue - I just plugged the output from the modem into Port 1 on the Hexlite and everything worked fine. Recently I switched to Starlink (Starlink Standard 4 Kit) and it works fine without the Hex lite connected directly via a…

Your posted configuration is incomplete (and you should first paste the configuration, then select it and press the button with the </> on it, this way it will become "code"). From what you posted ether1 is not active, but it has to be seen why.

This is what was in the rsc file: 2026-06-01 09:28:48 by RouterOS 7.23.1 software id = K8Z3-xxxx model = RB750r2 serial number = xxxx /interface list add name=WAN add name=LAN /interface list member add interface=ether1 list=WAN add interface=ether2 list=LAN add interface=ether3 list=LAN add …

Well, then - for whatever reasons - you have a very partial configuration. You should try resetting the device to default configuration. Anyway, it should be something like the one here: https://tangentsoft.com/mikrotik/dir?name=defconf the file [RB750Pr2.rsc] is for a slightly different model…

I seem to be going backwards. I tried to reset to default (power up with reset button held, wait for flashing light). I logged in with Winbox and did another export. Same result as before. I tried again and now I cannot access it with Winbox - all my passwords including blank do not work. I get wr…

When I connect the same working ethernet cable to the Mikrotik router, the lights on the router turns off and no connection seems to be present. This sounds like a power issue of some kind. Are you using the correct power supply? As for the password, check on the device, is there a sticker? It s…
