You’ll also need a paper-clip, bent open so that you can use the end of the wire to reset the MikroTik. Make sure you have disabled any firewalls or packet filters you may have on the Ethernet interface you are using. To avoid confusion, it’s probably best to disconnect any other network interfaces you may have, and disconnect anything else that may be plugged into the MikroTik. You’ll need a static address on an Ethernet port, and a direct connection between that Ethernet port and ether1 on the MikroTik. Neither setcap nor authbind brought relief, so with a gnashing of teeth I fired up a Windows XP virtual machine and ran NetInstall on that. Getting it running was no problem under WINE, either, except that it could not bind to the BOOTP server socket – permissions problems. Getting NetInstall was no problem – it’s available from the download area of the MikroTik website.
#MIKROTIK NETINSTALL HOW TO#
If you use MikroTik routers and feel you too would like to know how to bring one back from the brink, read on. An enquiry to the ever helpful Mike Everest at Duxtel suggested I should try NetInstall and directed me to this wiki entry from MikroTik.

No SSID visible, no DHCP happening on the Ethernet ports, no response even when I set up a static address on the other end of the Ethernet. I have no idea what went wrong, but after upgrading an RB951G to 5.25, it was, um, uncommunicative.
