So yeah finally got DHCP working.
Now my config is not good anymore.
So i wanted to import the default config from https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Default+configurations
I have a MikroTik HAP AX3 v7.7 stable.
I have copy paste all the text from the script in “AP Router” because thats the one for hAP products to a txt file.
I have renamed the txt to Default.rsc.
WINBOX: Uploaded it to files.
When i import it with Winbox → New Terminal it says “Syntax error (line 4 column 19)”
If i check that line and column it sees a “:” after the word “script”. (see screenshot SyntaxError.png)
I removed the “:”, now it says line error at line 223 column 19.
If i check that line and column it sees a “:” after the word “caps-mode-script”.
I removed the “:”, now it says line error at line 318 column 19.
If i check that line and column it sees a “:” after the word “custom-script”.
I removed the “:”, now it says line error at line 4 column 13.
If i check that line and column it sees a “s” it’s the s from the word “script”.
So removing those “:” does not work.
How do i import the defaulft config? What should be the correct default config?
Also i bought this with 7.6 with a lot of issues, i installed 7.7 with netinstall but that default config has almost nothing, only ether1to5, no bridge, no wifi etc.
If i do a reset config without ticking the box “No default Configuration” it will only give me the config with almost nothing only ether1to5, no bridge, no wifi etc.
This one, it’s on the wiki page linked in the first post.
However: this is NOT a script which can be imported straight-away … CPE_Router.txt (19.5 KB)
OP:
If you still have access to the router, reset again with default config.
Then on first entry, use Quickset ONCE (never use it again afterwards ! Only do changes afterwards via cmd line, webfig or winbox)
The problem is not the user @Tent1987, but the staff member than create help page on this way....
For example:
jan/11/2023 15:27:23 by RouterOS 7.7rc5
software id = 8K5U-LU5Y
script: #| Welcome to RouterOS!
#| 1) Set a strong router password in the System > Users menu
#| 2) Upgrade the software in the System > Packages menu
#| 3) Enable firewall on untrusted networks
#| 4) Set your country name to observe wireless regulations
#| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#| RouterMode:
#| * WAN port is protected by firewall and enabled DHCP client
#| * Wireless and Ethernet interfaces (except WAN port/s)

[...]
:log info Defconf_script_finished;
:set defconfMode;
:set ssid;
caps-mode-script: #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Note: script will not execute at all (will throw a syntax error) if
# dhcp or wireless-fp packages are not installed #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#| CAP configuration
#|
#| Wireless interfaces are set to be managed by CAPsMAN.
#| All ethernet interfaces and CAPsMAN managed interfaces are bridged.

:global action;

I’m sorry but please! please! read before posting.
The current default config that’s in my routeros7.7 only has ether1to5 interfaces. No wifi etc. I need wifi. I installed the main package with netinstall. Downloaded it from the official mikrotik website. Do I need the extra package?
If I use quickset I’m not able to configure wifi. Only dhcp/nat/etc.
That’s why I want the default config as when you buy the device.
I need to know how to import that one from the help pages.
Im pretty new to mikrotik/routeros but I’m already 8 days struggling to get it working. Sure im learning stuff.
I’ll join you for the AX-stuff. Still learning it too (waiting for one to be delivered).
Adding:
so … an AX device which gets a complete reset, looses the package which is needed to have wifi working.
I classify that as an omission, I would even call it a bug !
Adding:
while the general intention of that page is commendable (it really is !), it is far from complete.
E.g. no 5Ghz config for hap device (AC, AC2, AC3), no config for wave2 devices (AC3, Audience, AXx), ...
What I also find at least strange, is that e.g. script for hap is based on 7.7rc5 ?? Why not stick to release versions ?
Sorry i dont how to tag someone on this forum but i downloaded the extra packages.
I installed the wifiwave2*.npk
did a quick set and
I now have DHCP/Wifi and internet woot woot took me a long time.
Now my last question:
When i go to files i click on backup and it asks me to put in a file name, a password and encryption.
I have done that. Now i see “backup” in the column “Type”.
Does this “backup” include current configuration, current RouterOS, current packages, so if something breakes i can just restore the file?
. They may even wireguard together
