RB433AH

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello everybody, i connect to RB433AH using Winbox, then i get a message “Router has been Disconnected”.
Some idea of what it is the problem?

I try to ping RB (192.168.88.1) and can not reach it either.

Thanks in advanced!

(have you tried turning it off and on again?) :slight_smile:
And have you tried to delete Winbox files (from Application data)? - maybe the plugin is invalid…
Do other services (telnet/ssh/webfig) work normally?

edit: wait, just let’s go back to the basics :slight_smile:
You have just connected the RouterBoard to your PC (or network), right? And WinBox shows it on a list - and you try to connect with MAC address? Maybe communication using MAC is failing - and you need to try to connect with IP.
If it’s the case - just try to set a 192.168.88.2/24 address on your computer - and then connect with the RB using the IP.
Or it can be the case, when WinBox shows the routerboard, but without any IP - maybe it had a reset with “no-defaults”, and it doesn’t have 192.168.88.1 address at all? :slight_smile:

Ych, you’re too quick, I didn’t manage to edit my post in time :slight_smile:. So - at first try that “edit” part - and figure out, why you can’t ping 192.168.88.1 (did You manually set a 192.168.88.x address on your computer?)

1-You have just connected the RouterBoard to your PC (or network), right? Yes.

2-WinBox shows it on a list - and you try to connect with MAC address? Maybe communication using MAC is failing - and you need to try to connect with IP… Yes, i log-in and 5 seconds later says “router has been disconnected” :frowning:

3- just try to set a 192.168.88.2/24 address on your computer - and then connect with the RB using the IP.. Yes, this is the way i;ve tried :frowning:

4-when WinBox shows the routerboard, but without any IP - maybe it had a reset with “no-defaults”, and it doesn’t have 192.168.88.1 address at all? How can i fix it?

Thanks.

Do you have a console cable and a serial port or usb->serial adapter? I would try to “look inside” the RouterBoard by console port. And then use “/system reset-configuration” and it should have 192.168.88.1 on ether1 :slight_smile:. (I forgot - of course you are connecting to ether1 on the routerboard? :slight_smile: )
Or you can use the reset hole, if you don’t have the possibility to use serial connection. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Password_reset = it clears the config :slight_smile:.

this problem we r facing with the new ROS 5.5 LOADED products. the IP goes to 0.0.0.0 ad then we have to re-login with MAC address and add another IP

Hi, i could log-in, but i thing there’s a problem with the internal battery, because when i configure the RB and turn it off, date, hour etc. change to default parameters.

Thanks for your help.

Guillermo

RB433AH don’t have internal battery.
Set clock and SNTP client:

Hello, my RB433AH (v3.10) loses the configuration when i turn it off.

Some idea of the possible solution? Maybe any jumper?

Regards…

upgrade the router OS. 3.10 is ancient now. i am not sure u can directly upgrade 3.10 to 5.x. upgrade to 4.11 and then to 5.x. ask support where u can find 4.11.
there r no batteries on the 433ah board so u cannot store setting or date time etc.

12

Mahnet, thanks.

Regards,

Guillermo

Hello folks, i’ve been upgrade to v5.11, but when it boots, loses the configuration and get the “default” one…

14

what settings r u talking about…which goes to default. the ssid, freq, etc don’t change after reboot

15

I configure all parameters and save it, but if i disconect the router and turn it on, date and all configuration return to default (1970 date)… thanks …

16

it happens with everyone :slight_smile: so no worries. i have a separate server to manage date time n user accounts.

17

…but all configuration is gone! wireless, SSID, etc … :frowning:

18

no..wireless, SSID, etc remains. just date and time vanish.
contact mikrotik support or replace the board.

Ok, thanks for your help…
