Default Route Unreachable

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,

I just replaced a Cisco router with a Mikrotik 1200 and all my configs seem to be fine. The only issue here is when i plug in the Internet modem in the configured WAN port, the port gets an IP as it was configured to, but users are unable to browse the internet. After so much troubleshooting, i observed that the default route that is obtained from the WAN's dhcp lease is unreachable, that is i cannot ping it. I called the service provider and they said that is how they have configured their gateway.
So when i look at the route config on the router using webconfig, i see an info saying the default route is unreachable, hence it is inactive. Is there a way i can maybe just setup the default route statically such that the router still sends packets to it anyway?
Or is there something that i may be doing wrong?
any advice will be very much appreciated at this point.

Please see below part of my config which i think may be relevant here:

[admin@ADDOSSER MFB] /ip firewall filter> print

Add a route to 10.1.0.100/32 via the public IP you have.

Hello Fewi,

Thanks for the response. I tried this earlier today while troubleshooting but no luck. I’ll try again and revert. I assume the command will look something like this:
/ip route
add dst-address=10.1.0.100/32 gateway=4.5.1.7

Secondly, could you help look at my firewall config and advise on what I need to do in order for me to be able to log in remotely to the router as I cant seem to log into it at the moment?

Thanks again.

Hi again Fewi,

I just added the route but i still have an unreachable reply when i try to ping internet reachable IPs from the LAN. However, I am able to ping the internet reachable IPs from the router.

I added this command:
/ip route add dst-address=10.1.0.100/32 gateway=WAN

Any other ideas please, anyone?

Regards,

Femi
