MikroTik SxtSq stuck in boot loop

I just netinstall MikroTik SxrSq lite 5. Now device is not booting. Seems like it is stuck in boot loop. I tried reset button. But of no use. And now device is not even showing in netinstall or winbox.

Which version of ROS did you try ?

Try netinstall again

  • some prefer to use Windows, some prefer Linux (I’m in the second camp, I know of others having problems with Linux therefor only using WIndows. So try the other if one doesn’t work for you).
  • Make sure ALL network interface on your computer are DISABLED except for the ethernet interface used for netinstall
  • Some have reported good results from putting a dumb switch in between their computer and device (it aids in making the ethernet connection look ‘alive’)
  • press reset, power on the device but KEEP that reset button pressed until it appears in netinstall

It may take several attempts but it has to work.
