Got a brand new RB260GS (CSS106-5G-1S). I plug it in, set my ip to manual, 192.168.88.1 responds “somewhat”, but then spins infinitely and the page doesn’t load. Once I actually got to see a Mirotik “header”, but then it stopped loading further again. I tried Chrome and Safari, then even tried with curl (switch responds, gives an HTML header, then… zero bytes for the body)
I tried resetting it (pressing the reset button while plugin in), but nothing happens: the “act” light blinks 2 seconds, just like a regular boot, then nothing changes.
Winbox (well, the macos port) discovers the switch, says it’s SwOS 1.17, launching the webpage from there of course gives the same result.

Doesn’t sound right. Maybe best to exchange it. Mine is two years old, and I just put it back into use this weekend. The power up reset on it is very consistent (even consistently taking it back to the originally installed firmware). When I do that, it comes up with DHCP enabled. I used Firefox and Edge on Windows, and iOS Safari to access it. Every time is been very quick to respond.
