RB760igs | Can't reset to default

Skornflex · August 4, 2021, 8:19am

Hi everybody,

I come to you today with a pain in the a** problem, i’ve got a lot of rb760igs, i make like 1 per week for clients, and i’ve got this annoying problem where some of them won’t reset to factory default, i’ve tried a lot different methods to reset (see links below) but for two of them nothing works, can’t ping .88.1 on eth2. It’s pretty random, i don’t think it came from the router so if someone has a valid method to reset i take it !

More info :

at this moment i’ve got 4 rb760igs, two reset with no problems, two others don’t want (1 brand new, 1 old back from a client)
Got no Windows to install any app, we go on ssh

I’ve also tried with cables / without cables on ether port while resetting

Thanks in advance !

Yeah sorry i forgot to precise that i've got no access, that's my problem, neither 192.168.88.1 or client old address, cause of resets

Seriously you do not find any PC for use WinBox or Netinstall?

Wine exist (about WinBox)

NetInstall for linux exist…

Winbox doesn’t work for us with wine, i’ll look at netinstall thanks ! But that’s still not a solution for the problem we encounter, is there somewhere an official reset method or something ? Why that suddenly doesn’t work anymore ?
