i have routerboard 411/411r device which has roterboard r52 chipset. i want to use this device as a wifi extender. i mean i want to connect routerboard to my friend wireless adsl modem and take the internet into my home via ethernet. but i dont know how do i configure (set-up) this device. i already tried to connect device via ethernet to my pc but i failed. it did not set the ip adresses. . i downloaded net install package but could not use it. its very complicated for me.
is there any way to enter device configuration page via web browser like adsl modem. if not how can i configure this device. how can i use netinstall soft. and i also want to learn default password and defauld configuration ip adress for device and how to reset the device (i tried reset button and this http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Password_reset ,but nothing changed) sorry for my english thanks.
(if need i can write serial number of my device)
You need Winbox to configure your MikroTik router,
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup
After you will get access to the router;
- enable mode=station on Wireless interface of the router (set band/SSID additionally);
- add IP address to wireless interface via /ip address or setup DHCP-client (if it is available);
- add IP address to Ethernet interface;
- add static route (default gateway), that points to neighbor ADSL router;
- enable masquerading on your router /ip firewall nat add action=masquerade out-interface=wlan1 chain=srcnat
Have a look at:
it has lots of good info. Also look at:
thanks for your answer. i tried all of thing you said, i enabled wireless mode to station and 2.4ghz b/g mode. but i could not set the ip adresses and i also could not find masquerading option . . modem has wpa2-psk password protection. i found security profile option and wrote the password in it. i can see my friends adsl modem but i can not connect. i want to give extra information
modem has wpa2-psk (aes) password protection
ssid: airties_rt211
channel 11 (freq: 2.462)
default ip adress which comes from dhcp
ip:192.168.1.5
mask:255.255.255.0
gateaway 192.168.1.1
i also know how to config repeater but routerboard has much much option which is so hard to understand for beginners:(.
Just received the RB411U in the post.
Booted it up and connected the Etho cable.
The macbook wont get an IP address from the RB411’s DHCP server.
The Default IP addr of the board is 192.168.88.1/24
Also tried 192.168.88.1 & .254 &.0 & .255 as DHCP address’ but nothing works.
What is the IP address for the DHCP server on the routerBoard?
It just wont connect !
Cant use WinBox as its running on VM on macbook.
Help please!
Tried reseting to factory, still no go.
This is not a good start! Instruction says. ".. ROS reset jumper hole (RESET) – r.. blah blah … Hold screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is cleared.’ but gives no instruction as to what indicates that the “configuration is cleared”
This is not a good start.. not loving this BS!
Help appreciated please.
RB411 has a serial console connector, you can connect to it and watch what is happening on the screen.
or, you can simply wait until the LED flashes, then let go.
Unfortunately,the MacBook doesnt do RS232.
Turns out that the RB411U boards supplied by M2Mconnectivity are DHCP disabled so set IP manually to 192.168.88.22 and logged into router at 192.168.88.1 .
Can now access the RB411 ok
