Hi!
Got an RB751G router thats died after a reboot.
Have done a Netinstall with V6.12 and the 6.12 npk package, and it works fine, the router is identified by the netinstall program, and the installation seems to work fine, got an “OK” at the end, but Winbox is not able to locate the device after the netinstall. Got another router on the network, that winbox correctly identifies, but not the RB751G router…
Is the router permanently dead or can I get it up’n running again?

Have tried all 5 ports…

Have you disabled the firewall on your pc?
If the routerboard starts up and you connect with a network cable to the ethernet interfaces on your routerboard and pc.
See you the lights comming up ore not?
Yes! Got an WinXP with the internal firewall disabled.
It look like it starts upp normally, I have tried to run the netinstall with the “apply default conf” checked. I hope that it would start the wlan interface, but that LED remains black. The other LED:s 1-5 will turn on according to where i connect my cable. If I make a scan for the router in winbox, I can see the LED on the router flickering.. So it looks like it receiving data, but winbox will not detect the router at all.
Winbox does find my other two routers, one of them at a remote site (tunneled EoIP).
Have tried to connect the router directly to the NIC on the computer, no switches and so on, just cable between, and the reusult is the same..
So strange, it worked very well until I rebooted it (by command that is).

Try with netinstall to recover the routerboard
See here on my website for the procedure
