RB411R - Lights are on but nobody's home

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

I have a POE patch panel in a cabinet that a number of devices are powered from.

12V Power is supplied by a couple of 102Ah batteries with a 30A charger. There is plenty of power.

Amongst others, there’s an old RB411R that we use to connect to the cabinet when we are on site.

Today I did something silly.

I accidently unplugged the RB411R instead of something else. My mistake.

When I plugged it back in, I heard the beeps, saw the link light on the RB1100AH appear and walked away.

Turns out the router’s powered up, but it’s dead.

The ethernet port on the RB1100AH shows R and says it’s connected.

I can’t find it on IP - neighbours.
I can’t see it’s wireless beacon
I can’t ping it.

I really do not want to have to get it out as it’s bolted in.

Does anyone have any idea what happened here and how I can get it back?

Netinstall?

You could plug into the serial port to see what it going on. I guess if that doesn’t work you could try a netinstall.
