I know it was working when I put it in the storage box years ago. But I don't remember what IP address it was set to at that time.
The 18VDC 1Amp POE is known to be good & the RB411 lights & beeps when it's powered (although I'm not sure what's supposed to light up).
I went to the firmware download page (which shows it's discontinued) and read every document there and tried all their reset instructions but what they fail to do in all of them is provide explicit instructions.
But I can't get a successful ping (even with well-tested cat5 cables). ping 192.168.88.1 -t
Nor will a web browser access the webfig configuration at that address. http://192.168.1.88/webfig/ None of the generic reset instructions appear to be working for me.
I set the Windows IP address as admin so that's not the problem (AFAICT). netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet" static 192.168.88.2
255.255.255.0 192.168.88.1 netsh interface ipv4 show config "Ethernet"There are two different resets on the Mikrotik RB411 routerboard. One is a "S301" button & the other is a short slot, both of which I tried.
I've done it so many times so many ways that I'm not even sure which of the many reset configurations the RB411 routerboard is currently set to.
I also tried the webfig interface of the RouterBoard RB411 on port 80. http://192.168.88.1/webfig/

How do you reset the RouterOS IP address settings & login back to default?
Which LED light? There are blue & green LEDs to the left of the RJ45. There are five green LEDs to the right of the RS232.
How do you reset the RouterOS back to the factory configuration?
Nothing has worked yet but what I haven't found is useful usable explicit instructions on how to reset the MikroTik RouterBoard RB411 to its default.
Do you have any way of finding those specific explicit reset instructions?
I don't care what settings it resets to just as long as I can log into it from Windows on the same subnet (presumably the 192.168.88.xxx subnet). netsh interface ipv4 show config netsh interface ipv4 show config "MyEthernet" netsh interface ipv4 set address name="MyEthernet" static 192.168.88.2
255.255.255.0 192.168.88.1 ping 192.168.88.1 -tNone of this works so I think the router is in some stuck state, although it boots up (seemingly) with lights lighting up and blinking at times (blue and green LEDs) and it beeps too.
I just need a definitive specific explicit reference for the MikroTik routerboard RB411 with RouterOS on it for how to reset it to a state that I can then connect to the RouterOS on it to set it up as a CPE Access Point.
I tried the MikroTik forum but it never sent the confirmation registration mail so I don't think it's still supported as it seems to be dead a while.
