Error in WireGuard configuration, lost connection to Router

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1
  • Latest OS release Release 7.10.2
  • Product: Mikrotik LHG LTE18
  • IP Adress of the router: 192.168.6.1
  • Changes were made WITHOUT SafeMode

Problem:
The router has a internal network of 192.168.6.0 and uses the IP 192.168.6.1. Everything works fine. During WireGuard configuration happened a bad error. With the command:

/ip address
add address=192.168.6.1/24 interface=wireguard1

The error: it was added the same address already in use for the ethernet interface for the wireguard1 interface. I’ve lost immediately the connection to the router. Was not able to fix the error anymore. Internet inside the network still works, but direct access to the router is lost. No SSH, no Web-Interface and no telnet on “router.lan” or “192.168.6.1”.

How i could reconnect to the device to revert/undo the last operation?

You should be able via Winbox and MAC address.

Try this first.

Thanks a lot for your help. Indeed - with the MAC address the changes were possible and everything is back. Thanks again.

why on earth would you assign the wireguard the same IP as your LAN??
