Help - RB600 Not working when ethernet cable unplugged

Help please!!!

My RB600 is not responding when the ethernet cable is unplugged.

I configured it with WDS (between 2 locations). It’s working great when I plug my laptop in the ethernet interface, but as soon as I unplug the ethernet cable from the box, the other interfaces stops responding.

Any idea? I’ve search this forum many times and can’t find the answer.

Thanks!

Ok I’ll take a stab at this one..

I think it is becuase the cable in unplugged!?

There is alot that is not known, is your rb600 in AP mode? Station WDS? Do you have ether 1 on your wds bridge, if it is bridged on the MT?

Are you trying to connect to the same rb that you unplugged the notebook from, or are you trying to connect the that RB from the remote end? Are you trying to connect to the IP address, is the IP assigned to the ether 1 port, and ether1 is not bridged to WLAN1?

Can you use winbox’s " …" button and it show up with the mac address?

Need more details…

POE? :smiley:
