winbox keeps disconnecting

RouterOS General
1

I bought the MikroTik cAP ac router.

I have been trying to configure the nexudus hotspot. I did a little bit of work, just enough to create the hotspot, but after that, winbox keeps disconnecting me.

I have tried the following to resolve the problem, but to no avail:

  • Gotten newest version of winbox – 3.17
  • Updated the router’s firmware to latest
  • Reset the router back to factory settings
  • Tried to use an IP address instead of the MAC address to connect with. This kind of worked until I installed the hotspot again, in which case it stopped connecting using the IP address altogether.

I am at a loss as to how to proceed.

Thanks in advance for any help.

i had something similar with hap ac2, in my case “quick set” opened window was causing disconnection (still don’t know why). as soon as connect i hit ESC to close windows, problem was solved

Thanks Yuridee. That seems to have worked, although it is a bit annoying not having access to “quick set”, but I’ll manage.

Thanks again!

I think when it closed once you can open it again and use it. Don’t know for sure, I rarely use QuickSet.

Try it and let folks here to know

Best,

THIS WORKED FOR ME (100%) SOLVED

As soon as you connect using WINBOX → START pressing “ESC” keys on you key board until all SMALL WINDOWS in your WINBOX application closes.

This process worked for me and I want every one to know this.

I WAS PULLING MY HAIR FOR LAST FEW YEARS, SO I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THIS SOLUTION
And I thank the person and this forum for his solution.
