Hello,
Up until recently I’ve been using my RB951G-2HnD inside my home network, with the WAN port connected to a LAN port of a cable router. That was causing problems with a VPN connection, so I’ve switched my cable router into “modem mode”, and promoted the RB951G-2HnD to become the master router for my network.
I decided to do a factory reset and start again from scratch, but for some reason no matter what I try the default config is not applied. I’ve tried both the reset-button method and the “/system reset-configuration” method (without “no-defaults”), and in both cases, after the reset, although I could connect to the RB951G-2HnD via the default “MikroTik” wireless SSID or ethernet cable, there was no DHCP server running and I could not connect to it on the default address of 192.168.88.1.
Instead, I had to connect to it by using the Windows NeighborViewer.exe tool (in Windows in a VM, because I use a Mac…). On first connecting, a script runs that explains that the default-config will be applied, and offers the opportunity to cancel it by pressing a key (‘r’ I think it was). I press another key, and it says it’s applied it, but it hasn’t. The config is empty - no IP address, no DHCP server, no ethernet ports renamed, etc. I had to set it up manually, which took a whole day to figure out. :-/
What might be causing this?
I’m using RouterOS 6.31 and the firmware is version 3.24.
Thanks,
Rob.
