I bought it about 3 months ago. I tried setting it up. After a reset and firmware upgrade, it stopped detecting Wi-Fi and started acting weird.
I tried to bring it back to life, but to no avail. How do I reset it to factory settings? I mean, completely factory default condition? I've tried resets (of course). I've tried changing firmware, packages, upgrades, and downgrades.
The first thing I noticed was that all the options in the quick settings except Home AP had disappeared from menu. How to fix it? Any ideas?
Thanks for the tip. Everything seems to be very different on RouterOS 7 than on 6, especially the WiFi settings. I think I figured out the WiFi and it even works. I removed all unnecessary packages.
One question remains: how do I add more profiles to the quick settings? I still see only one 'Home AP'. Is this even possible on this router, or is it like that by default? I searched online for setup guides for this model, but couldn't find anything.
You can not add options to quick set.
And it's even advised NOT to touch it anymore after having set things up. It can really mess up your config unless you start from default config.
Okay. Thanks.
I can’t get why I don't see the Wi-Fi chip model on the list. Judging by various videos online, it should show chip ID on a router OS 7 same as OS 6. But maybe it doesn't show up on this specific model. Anyone with experience with this router, please let me know.
I think something is broken in my router, either physically or software-wise. Because this shouldn't happen. When I'm trying to reset it, there should be a list of configurations written to disk, which I see in the files. I'll try contacting Mikrotik's support. So far, I've only had negative experiences with this model; this is the first time something like this has happened.
Run-After-Reset requires a script with extension .rsc.
Not a .backup file which is a binary backup of your config. You can import it again via Files but be aware you will then import everything including possible problems.
You should have a look at the contents of your "default configuration" script, by running the command: /system default-configuration print
And or check here:
Should be the AP Router version for the L009:
The issue with importing as "run after reset" (with "no default configuration" checked) an exported rsc of your current configuration is that such an export completely misses the checks, conditional executions and logging.
So, it may work just fine, but should an error occur, you won't have any easy way to find which error it was and you may be left with a partially configured router.
Ideally you should reset your router with default configuration, export it without modifications, then make a file with only the differences against your last saved/exported configuration, this way you would be reasonably sure that it is restored correctly.
There used to be an issue with the order in which the various items/sections were generated, so that importing an exported configuration could lead to error because some directives changing some settings on an item were run before the item was generated.
AFAIK this doesn't happen anymore on v 7.x, but it probably depends on the complexity of the configuration, it is not actually "guaranteed" to work in all cases.
Still, as you can see from the default configuration, there are provisions for delays - here and there - to allow various commands to run only when some previous command need some time to execute or the item generated by it needs some time to be found, in your exported script there won't be these delays, and while the commands will be "more direct" and probably need not such delays, you'll never know until you test it.
I have another Mikrotik with the 7th version on board. I tested it on it. It seems you're right. It works differently for the 7th version. I'm referring to the default configuration after a reset.
However, the some questions remain unanswered regarding profiles in quick settings. There should be more than just "Home AP". I clearly remember there were more. And also, in the "Wireless" section, it should indicate the wifi chip model on board. On all my wifi routers it says what module on board. Something broke after the upgrade. It clearly doesn't work as it should when it comes from the factory. I don't want to waste money and order another one just to prove it. I've sent a request to tech support.
I don't belong to any clubs, and I do use the quick setup. I don't have much free time to sit and pore over tons of these features. Very often, I need to quickly set up a router, install it, and forget about it. This is especially true if I'm on vacation and need to quickly configure my network within a rented cabin or room. And the most important rule of the consumer and device owner club is that if something is present in the device's interface, it must work as intended and as described in the documentation.
