Hey Guys
I am just wondering how would I access my routerboard from one network to a different network using 2 different ISP’s?

By IP address?

I’m not sure I understand the question. How are you accessing your routers now?

right now I don’t have my routerboard hooked up. Just let you know that I will have 2 different connections at my apt 1 fiber connection that is my home connection and other one is a cable connection for my business they are in different IP addresses and I would like to login from my home connection to my other connection that is cable by WINBOX.

You can reach the RouterBOARD on any reachable IP address it has on any interface as long as you have the Winbox service turned (“/ip service enable winbox”) and aren’t blocking access to it by firewall.

ok so lets say its being blocked by firewall? is there a command I need to put into the firewall to allow access to routerboard from one specific ip address?

By default it isn’t blocked, so you’d put in rules to block traffic you don’t want logins from.

Here’s a basic example that first constructs an address list of networks allowed to administratively log in, and then drops all other networks from accessing Winbox. This is by no means a full firewall configuration. The wiki has a LOT of user examples and you should read through them.

/ip firewall address-lists
add address=10.1.0.0/24 list=Administrative_Networks
add address=192.168.0.0/23 list=Administrative_Networks
/ip firewall filter
add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=8291 src-address-list=Administrative_Networks action=accept
add chain=input protocol=tcp dst-port=8291 action=drop
