Help with setup RB1100AHx2

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Can someone please provide a setup script to get this router started.

I need to set
IP from provider
dhcp server
nat wan to lan

Thanks

(missing the quick set from my 751)

I have always seen quickset more for the SOHO environment. The 1100 series is not quite a SOHO router and at this time does not have quickset. Mikrotik might include quickset on these devices someday but at this point they haven’t. You are better off to learn how to setup everything manually anyway and learn some of the more powerful RouterOS features. There are MANY other things you with RouterOS that you can’t currently setup in quickset.

Here is what you will need to help setup your router.

Thanks for links to information.

I had some problem with IP/Route and Firewall/Nat and now I cant log in to it.

Winbox finds the router on all ports that is configured but I cant log in, it just times out?

4

Are you trying to connect via MAC address or IP address?

5

IP address

6

When you click the dots in winbox does your router show up? Can you try the MAC address to try to get into your router and check your problem?

7

Yes it shows when i click the dots.

I will try mac address later when I come back to my work. Do I just replace the IP-address with MAC address?

8

Just click it and it will fill it in for you.

9

Using the MAC address worked. Thank you so much.

Another question, can I use ether 13 for WAN?
I read somewhere before that the higher ports did not work so well.

10

Sure, what doesn’t work so well about them?

11

I dont know, read it here in the forum

12

I personally haven’t seen any problems with the upper ports.

13

Maybe it was in an earlier version.

I cant connect to internet. What is wrong with this file?
