I am experiencing a weird issue on my RB4011iGS+RM. I am using my eth1 port for internet access (ip by ISP provided automatically). Internet works for a few days then it suddenly stops. Local network is working but no internet access on all the devices in the network. If I plug the cable from eth1 port to my laptop internet works so it is not connected with my provider (it seems). If I plug it back to my router nothing happens until I restart the router manually. Any ideas what could be the issue?
I have checked the logs of the router but nothing is happening during that particular time. I have also tried to use quick config but results are the same it works for a few days then I need to reboot.
When your internet stops, instead of rebooting your router, login to the router and open a terminal.. from terminal try to ping your ISPs router Lan IP.. do you get a reply? If yes then try to ping an external IP, lets say 8.8.8.8, do you get a reply? If yes then your router has internet and the problem is somewhere else..
Also you use a dhcp client on your router right? What is the status of dhcp client when you dont have internet?
My mistake.. XVO any suggestions for the actual problem instead of correcting me for somerhing obviously i didnt see?
.. anyways most probably you are blocked by your ISP…
The error is net unreachable, this means you are able to route your traffic correctly, otherwise you would get “no route to host” however you cant reach that destination… test your mikrotik to another ISP, thats what i would do so i can be sure…
The fact, that the problem appears after a few days, makes me think, that something goes wrong when router tries to renew dhcp lease.
Anyway, if that’s on ISP side OP should try to contact them in the first place.
