#HOW TO INSTALL MIKROTIK OS FROM USB UPDATE#

You need to set a static IP address on your computer for a netinstall. If, by chance, you can still connect to your router, you can find the exact model in System -> Routerboard -> Model. If you are unsure of your routerвЂ™s specific model, try the netinstall process and it should identify your device. I used the MMIPS Main Package for my rev 3 hEX device (RB750Gr3). You may be offline while you do the netinstall procedure, so download netinstall and correct packages for your router before hand. Seems netinstall and the Hyper-V virtual switch donвЂ™t play nice together. The router never deteted the netinstall program and never connected to the bootp server while Hyper-V was running. I had Hyper-V installed (for phone development) and needed to remove it first. I needed to plug my ethernet into another switch to set the IP first.

My router was power cycling every 30 seconds, so Windows didnвЂ™t see the ethernet port up for long enough for me to set an IP address. There were two things which caused me problems: I tried various ways of resetting the device. So no hope of sending it back to Duxtel to get a replacement (and IвЂ™m not sure if my pride would cope with that kind of RMA anyway). In an effort to remove packages it wonвЂ™t ever need (eg: wireless and hotspot) and free up space, I aggressively removed pretty much all packages and tried to install everything from scratch.ДЄpparently, removing the base routeros-mmips package isnвЂ™t a wise move.
