Tried to update to 6.33.5 , now not able to connect to routerboard.

RouterOS Beginner Basics

So, I tried to update to 6.33.5 and got missing wireless-6.33.5-mipsbe.npk .

So I restarted.. it worked fine, besides the wireless messed up. So I removed the wireless package, set it to uninstall .. Restarted the routerboard, and now I can’t connect even wired.

Any ideas?

You might need to use netinstall to regain access, I had to use it once.

I’m going to assume that the routerboard needs both the wired and wireless package even if you are connecting wired? (To work properly) .

I tried giving it both versions , of course one at a time, but never did it say “reboot” . It always went back to “ready” . Then it didn’t work when I tried it again.

Well, I have tried Using 5.x now on the netinstall . It behaved better, it even let me restart the device properly… however, still nothing when I swapped the IPv4 back to Auto, and moved it to Port 2.

It says “Identifying…” In Windows 7 under the adapters, but never connects.

Hello.
What is the problem exactly? Do you have access to your router? Can you ping your device? Did you leave common services/ports enabled? Telnet?SSH?

Hello, the only way I can see the router is to setup the 10.0.0.1 , Subnet 255.255.255.0 on my own, then in Netinstall.

I can’t access http://192.168.88.1/ at all.

I tried downgrading to 5.x with the routeros-mipsbe-5.26.npk , and Netinstall behaved better. It installed and let me reboot the device. unlike 6.x’s .

After restart, I moved to Port 2 , and set the IPv4 back to Automatic… and waited.. and waited… and still nothing.

What about Winbox? Its a pretty powerfull managing tool.

Here’s what happens when I try to feed it a 6.x on Netinstall:

edit: Is there some way I could try to connect to it via winbox?

Alright here’s what I had to do:

Setup the 10.0.0.1 , 255.255.255.0 in IPv4 NIC.

Downgrade to routeros-mipsbe-5.26 via Netinstall.. it’s the ONLY version that would work properly with Netinstall and allow Winbox to connect.

Reboot after it installed

Use the MAC address I got from Netinstall (thank god) with Winbox to connect.

Go in Winbox and find where it says reset connections back to default.

Move the NIC to Port 2 .

Set IPv4 back to Auto

Hook up everything back like it was (modem in Port 1 instead of NIC)

Reboot the router.

Upgrade back to 6.x

Start the process of changing settings again.. (IE: passwords, time server, etc)

I have the same problem now. I have connection with v. 6.33.2. Before it had v.6.33.3 and it was not good because after upgrading to it wireless speed in my local network decreased more than a half. So, I was hoping for upgrading to v.6.33.5 and solve this problem? but I can`t do it, receiving this message missing wireless-6.33.5-mipsbe.npk .
