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. https://mikrotik.com/product/RB411 None of those instructions work, but as I recall, they're all too generic anyway in that it matters greatly exactly the procedure that you use and even which of the two different onboard reset mechanisms that you use. https://i.postimg.cc/FKsR3Mk1/mikrotik-rb411-reset.jpg Even so, I have the latest RouterOS just in case I need to flash. https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/7.8/routeros-mipsbe-7.8.npk And I downloaded the latest RouterBoot firmware just in case I need it. https://i.mt.lv/cdn/rb_bootloaders/ar7100_3.41.fwf I read the User Guide but the instructions there are too generic too. https://i.mt.lv/cdn/product_files/rb411ugA_130511.pdf As with the same problem with the too generic RouterOS Software Manual. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:TOC Factory defaults are supposed to be 192.168.88.1 admin with no password. I remember the reset procedure to be non intuitive (so no generic instructions will work) but I don't remember the precise reset process. 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. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Reset Unfortunately, even the specific instructions are completely generic. https://www.router-reset.com/info/MikroTik/RouterBOARD-411-RB411 https://www.mikrotik.com.my/reset-to-factory-default-settings/ The reset, as I recall, is actually complicated in that doing it right has a lot to do with exactly which LEDs flash which color (blue or green) and how many times specific LEDs flash & exactly when you let up. 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. https://i.mt.lv/cdn/rb_images/669_hi_res.png All I can find is I hold the S301 spring-loaded button until some unknown LED light starts flashing (blue or green, there are many) & then I release the S301 spring-loaded button which is supposed to reset the RouterOS configuration to the factory default setup (but how long does it take?). 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. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Etherboot I have the MikroTik WinBox Loader v3.37 but it won't connect. winbox.exe 192.168.88.1 admin "" winbox.exe 84:1B:5E:AF:BF:CF admin "" I also tried the webfig interface of the RouterBoard RB411 on port 80. http://192.168.88.1/webfig/ https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Winbox https://mikrotik.com/download https://download.mikrotik.com/winbox/3.37/winbox.exe https://download.mikrotik.com/winbox/3.37/winbox64.exe I haven't used TheDude or NetInstall yet as I just want to reset it. https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:The_Dude https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Netinstall https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Flashfig In desperation I even found YouTube videos on how to reset it.

Release the button to reset RouterOS configuration 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 -t None 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. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=438256 https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?p=454673 https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Reset+Button https://mikrotik.com/product/RB411 https://www.mikrotik-store.eu/en/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-RB411 https://forum.routerboard.com/viewtopic.php?t=156670 I can put openwrt on it if I have to but I still need to connect first. https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb411 Most of the descriptions aren't specific enough to actually work.

I put a label on each device with it's hostname (resolves to an IP in my DNS; resolves to a MAC in bootptab) and password. In my case, if you've got physical access to the device (to be able to read the label!), then there's little sense in trying to "hide" these details. This wouldn't be true in a business, public space, etc.

This > wouldn't be true in a business, public space, etc.I don't know if the RB411 is on the 192.168.88.xxx or 192.168.1.xxx subnet. Do I need to put the Windows PC on the same subnet as the RB411 might be? Anyway, I googled for nmap and somehow I ended up with Zenmap on my desktop. https://nmap.org/book/zenmap.html The default zenmap scan is apparently this command. Target: 192.168.1.1/24 Command: nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.1.1/24 Target: 192.168.88.1/24 Command: nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.88.1/24 The first nmap command it ran from the Zenmap GUI without the RB411 was Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.0 [host down] Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.2 [host down] Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.3 [host down] ... Discovered open port 443/tcp on 192.168.1.100 Discovered open port 443/tcp on 192.168.1.101 Discovered open port 443/tcp on 192.168.1.102 There were pages of results, so I'm weeding through them first while I'm on my home LAN before I connect the PC directly to the RB411 router. It's a pain not knowing what subnet to put the PC on so I pulled the Ethernet out of the home router and plugged it into the RB411 instead. Then I changed the PC IP address to these two one by one. Win+r cmd {control+shift+enter} netsh interface ipv4 show config netsh interface ipv4 show config "Ethernet" netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet" static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 ping 192.168.1.1 -t (which fails) Then I ran the zenmap GUI with a Target: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.255 Command: nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.1.1/24 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.1.0 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.1.1 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.1.2 ... Then I tried the 88 subnet. Win+r cmd {control+shift+enter} netsh interface ipv4 show config netsh interface ipv4 show config "Ethernet" netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Ethernet" static 192.168.88.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.88.1 ping 192.168.88.1 -t (which fails) Then I ran the zenmap GUI with a Target: 192.168.88.1 192.168.88.255 Command: nmap -T4 -A -v 192.168.88.1/24 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.88.0 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.88.1 get_srcaddr: can't connect socket: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.88.3 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.88.4 setup_target: failed to determine route to 192.168.88.5 ... I'm not sure what I'm doing, but it seems I get different results if I put the PC on 192.168.1.xxx versus 192.168.88.xxx and then I run that zenmap port scan - but I don't yet know what to make of the results since nothing came back as a really good hit. My googling found also "ipscan" and "portscanner" which I may try. https://angryip.org/download/#windows https://www.eusing.com/ipscan/free_ip_scanner.htm https://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/download/ The problem is that the search is filled with shills so I don't know which is the right freeware respected ipscanner or port scanner download. Given the syntax is not in the least intuitive (it takes experimentation), does anyone have a recommendation as to which scanner to concentrate on? -- Cheers, Rob

Windows. <frown> I try to do as little "network stuff" with Windows as possible. They seem to think they have a better way of doing *everything*... even the things that were long established while Billy Goates was still a pimply faced teenager! And, why do you always have to reboot to do damn near anything?? I rescue a lot of kit. So, I have *no* idea how it is typically configured. *Maybe* it's on an RFC1918 network. Maybe not. So, I try to figure out how to do a HARD reset -- using a search engine or poking around with any "reset" buttons I can find (i.e., push it, try HOLDING it, try holding it WHILE applying power, etc.) Once the device has "lost its mind" (settings), I start watching network traffic (wireshark, tcpdump, etc.) for DHCP/BOOTP request packets (depending on the vintage of the equipment). I do this on a quiescent network so I don't have to look at lots of extraneous packets from other devices, etc. [You should be able to do this with just a PC and the device in question on their own isolated internet.] This tells me that the device can talk on the wire (as the devices I rescue are of unknown quality, I have no idea if they work, if the network port(s) haven't been toasted, etc.) So, I want to see some sort of activity that "makes sense" for a freshly reset device. For me, assigning a network address in the presence of DHCP requests is trivial: note the MAC (from the network traffic analysis) and type a line in bootptab(5) binding that MAC to an UNUSED address on the subnet for the PC. Restart BOOTPd (or DHCPd, if that's the case) to ensure the file is reloaded (a signal can also work). Repeat the process and watch to see that the device in question *gets* the BOOTP/DHCP assignment. And, the nature of its traffic will likely change (at the very least, it should stop asking for an IP/lease). Once it has an IP, I try poking it: ping, TELNET, HTTP, etc. on well-known ports to look for signs of life. E.g., I just rescued a NAS and followed this procedure, ending up talking to a web service. Tried the default account name/password and now I don't have to mess with other, more tedious, means of configuration. Or, find a manual! This often exposes a means of assigning a static IP so I can remove the DHCP/BOOTP hooks in my (PC) server.
