No USB, No Serial, No DHCP RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN

RouterOS Beginner Basics

I hope somebody here can assist, I’d like to exhaust options before returning this item as dead.

If I plug into ports 2-10 I get no DHCP, when I try to console in (using a cisco cable) I get garbage from the console port & the USB port simply does not enumerate at all.

The only reason I don’t think the device is dead is that the LCD seems to work fine, I think the touch sensor is awfully calibrated though, it takes tonnes of attempts to get it to do what is desired. I managed to get it to reset configuration, but this didn’t help.

I’ve tried netboot, however the device just never shows up.

Does anyone have any advice? Is the unit DOA?

Connect to port 2 and run Winbox, click on the Browse button (looks like […]) and see if it finds your router. If yes, click on the MAC address and connect to it.

I had this happen a FEW times while experimenting with routes/firewall rules and locking myself out. I was able to reconnect using Winbox on a windows pc and the MAC address(in the ip field of winbox with colons) on the bottom of the router (secure mode is needed i believe) while plugged into port 4 or 5. Wine for linux, for some reason wouldn’t allow the MAC connection, but does run winbox fine when the router is reachable via tcp/ip.

Newer versions of Wine also allow MAC connection. At least works for me on MacOS

Thanks :slight_smile:

It worked great via WINE, I’ve managed to get it almost completely the way I want it.

The only issue outstanding is that the USB port doesn’t enumerate. How exactly do you get console over USB?

I haven’t had a chance to test the serial port yet (my usb to serial adapter is at work), but I will do so tomorrow.

micro usb port on this unit is NOT client port - you do not connect this to PC, but connect peripherials to this port (using for example usb otg cable)

Ahhhh, thanks. This explains a lot :slight_smile:

Although in the future, we will research how to use it as client port too.

That would be great :wink:

I have successfully reset my RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN a few times using a screwdriver and the bottom hole reset entrance.
