wifi24 in italics, dhcp server gives invalid..

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

The wifi used to work..

I tried deleting everything and trying the most minimal..

I am currently on 7.15beta9 as I noticed it not working in 7.14.2 but know it was working in 7.14.1..

wifi24 interface is in italics.. and in the dhcp server section it is red with an I for invalid..

Thank you in advance.

What are these two entries?


Does log have anything about wifi24 and DHCP server? Best to reboot device and check log immediately after it comes up not to get sidetracked by later (only slightly related) entries …

Have seen this when you have removed names from userlist and they are pointed at from another setting.
So if you remove something you get the pointer *4 *5 *6 and so on.
I think Mikrotik have to script something when removing names or maybe just warn you there are pointers pointing to nothing.

I know. I was hinting @OP to remove those because clearly they are remnants of something not needed any more. Probably they are not the reason for problems though, but it’s always good to have clean config.

Thank you for noticing that.. but it didn’t change anything..

I’ll try to make time to backup/erase/restore etc..

see what that does with a default config..

Did the wifi die?

And that’s why it’s nowhere..
