Do you receive an IP address in the 192.168.188.X range from the LHGG when you connect your PC or Laptop to it ?

Hi
Yes originally i could log into the router interface and could ping to that adress
Now i cant log in or ping to it however the router still shows on winbox neighbours
I was literally about to set up routing so i could get internet by following the first time setup instructions

Naah, don't worry :) , it is nearly impossible to delete the RoS (if not via hardware).

Normally you can reset the device and it will (should) be exactly in the same condition you received it.

The reset procedure is easy enough, though you might need to try it a few times as the exact timing (when to press and when to release the reset button) can be tricky..

And if that doesn't solve your problem then you can Netinstall ROS onto your device.
