I took delivery of a new tower version of the HAP AC Lite a couple of days ago, was impressed with the tower design, nice looking bit of kit.
I have previously had to return 2 of these that died when upgrading routerOS on them, but thought I’d give the tower version a go … mistake it seems.
Just tried to upgrade it to the latest version 6.38.1 and yet again its died, wifi gone, when I plug it into another of my devices and look at the LAN port its just up and down all the time … netinstall doesnt work, nothing does.
Is there a serious issue with these devices ? it’s really screwed me up with a delivery for a customer tomorrow.
how did you upgrade? describe the procedure step by step - via quickset download and install option
what do you mean “died”. do you see it in the winbox neighbours, when plugged into the PC through port 2 ? - Died = never comes back from ROS upgrade. Not visible via Winbox IP neighbors on my CRS and the port is just up and down every 20 seconds. I will try direct ethernet from the PC to port 2.
Which packages were installed on device? Was it only RouterOS bundle package?
Have you tried to:
Power off device;
Press and hold reset button;
Power on device;
Release button after 2-3 seconds;
If it boots up, then execute “/system routerboard upgrade” and “/system reboot”
If that did not help, then make sure that you do not make some common mistakes during Netinstall process:
*) Use latest Netinstall
*) Firewall on computer is turned off
*) IP of computer and Netinstall is on same subnet;
*) If you use Windows, then gateway IP address on computer must be specified
*) Other DHCP servers must not be involved
*) Router must be connected on boot interface
To start installation you must power on the router with pressed reset button and wait until it shows up in Netinstall
Hi
I have a mikrotik Hap Lite and i upgrade it to latest version via winbox
after uploading file and reboot, ACT LED is Always On and i cannot connect to it with Winbox .
is there any way to fix this.
PS. Have you considered reading the above posts first or searching the forum for a solution before posting a rather typical question that have been answered already quadzillion times before?
I get also a flapping port issue. Netistall did not worked. I keeped pressed the button for 5 munites but never come to netinstall. It keeps flapping.
I used eth1 (not the internet port) for netinstall. how much it suppose to press the reset button to go on netinstall?
the issue come after upgrade to 6.41.3.
I think it will be my first mikrotik that bricked for good!
Oddly enough I just encountered a similar situation, HAP ac^2 running all-in-one 6.41.3 (upgraded through /system packages and rebooted).
Later I wanted to get rid of some packages so I scp’ed advanced-tools, dhcp, ipv6, multicast, ntp, routing, security, system & wireless ver. 6.41.3 (ARM) to move from all-in-one to only-a-few-of-them but the device never came back alive.
It’s a few KMs away so I will have to check it later and I will update this post.
