hAP ac lite - how to perform factory reset?

Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:12 pm

Hi,
some time ago I bought hAP ac lite (Mikrotik RouterBOARD RB952Ui-5ac2nD-TC) in order to use it as a client device to "convert" Wifi to ethernet for various devices (e.g. get rid of having to solve wifi device and drivers for each device).

Struggling a little bit with this:

I was finally advised to use QuickSet and CPE
https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Quickset

Which worked. For an unknown reason I only lost the access to http://192.168.88.1 but did not care as the rest was working...

Unfortunately I need to change some settings and I cannot return my Mikrotik to the default settings. Tried suggested procedures:
1. unplug power
2. hold RES button
3. plug power
4. wait until ACT flashes and then stop flash (with ACT and PWR on green) release the RES button
5. wait 20 seconds.
and also
1. unplug the USB cable to power off
2. hold the RES button with a pen
3. plug power (keep holding button)
4. when ACT LED starts flashing, release button
5. wait some 15-20 seconds and ACT LED will flash twice, it means process is finished

although in my case there is not ACT but USR light. Everything seems to work - the device apparently reboots but I cannot connect to the http://192.168.88.1 (no matter if I use eth3 or eth1 port and WebFig, tried WinBox and same).

any ideas? I expected this to return the Mikrotik to the same condition as after unboxing...
