I had one variation from Pradeep's list that I wanted to note in case someone else runs across this thread. This process still works as of April 2015, using mipsbe v 6.27 and netinstall 6.27. I used `sudo wine netinstall.exe` on Linux, not windows. I can confirm that after struggling with router not showing up in the netinstall, following these steps exactly made it work on the first go. Now I need to get my production network running with dual-WAN and VPN. Made all the difference for a beginner like me! Thanks you for your help and encouragement. Irrespective, my router is back to being better than new - now upgraded to the later version of OS, and now with some additional packages! And then after Clicking on "install" the router status would go to "Installing" and then to "Ready" without doing anything - no idea why the installation worked properly after 20 times of trying! The router would just not show up in NetInstall's list - must have tried it 30 times before this worked - But once I got it to work, it started working every time. The nightmare was in steps (k) and (p) both marked with (**). Q) The router rebooted - Beep once, some time later (1 min or so if I recollect) a second beepĪfter a while after the second beep short (30 secs or so if I recollect), the wireless light turned on, and the router configuration was as clean as the day I unpacked it (just 6 days ago!). P) The progress bar moved to 100% as the packages were uploaded (**) N) Selected all packages by browsing to the unzipped directory and using the "Select All" button M) Unzipped "all_packages-mipsbe-6.5.zip" L) Unmarked "Keep old configuration" and "Configure Script"
K) Router showed up in Netinstall's list (**) J) Keep holding the reset pin till a beep sounds.
H) Selected Client IP address of 192.168.88.1
#Netinstall mikrotik Pc
Let me post what I did so that anyone else with the same problem may be able to fix it themselves.Ĭ) Disable all other network interfaces on the PC - LAN, Wireless, Virtualboxĭ) Set static IP of 192.168.88.3 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.88.1 on PC But hearing your story made me try try and try till it worked. Mikrotik support just left me hanging with "Use NetInstall". RB951G2HnD, Thank you so much for your guidance.ĭallen, You gave me the most important ingredient - hope. Success! My Mikrotik is back in working condition!! Thank you all
