RoMoN Enabled but Can't See or Connect

RouterOS General
1

My MT router works fine and I can connect via WinBox over IP but RoMoN doesn’t seem to work. I enabled Romon on the router interface but it isn’t found by WinBox, nor can I force it manually. WinBox connects fine by IP address to the same box.

I haven’t added IDs, ports, secrets or anything - just clicked enable in RoMon

Any suggestions how to troubleshoot?

Romon is for finding other routers starting from the one you can connect to.

@holvoetn has already wrote “Romon is for finding other routers starting from the one you can connect to”
And I want add:
For be useful, you MUST have at least two RouterOS with RoMON ACTIVE, on same layer2 domain.
Is perfectly useless with only one device.
Once enabled RoMON on router, you can use the button “Connect to RoMON” on winbox to connect to RoMON session inside that router,
but you can not see the router itself or manage it by RoMON.
You can see only another RouterOS (or more), if present, where RoMON is active (and it settings permit to be viewable, etc.)

I understand now. Thanks. I thought it was a way to connect to a MT router if you had somehow messed up the ip addressing

For that, is simply MAC winbox
