Routerboard Troubleshooting

April 14th, 2010

When I connect power to the board, it does not make a sound nor flash a LED

Please check whether the power-source choice jumpers are in correct positions. For 20..54 V DC powering to the power plug or power header, switch the JP4 and JP5 jumpers into 1-2 position. For 48V DC Power over Ethernet powering, switch the JP4 and JP5 jumpers into 2-3 position.

Also check that the JP6 jumper is in 1-2 position and that J18 and J11 power outputs are open.

When I connect power to the board, it does nothing, but all its LEDs stay on

Please check that JP1 (Reset) jumper is open.

I am experiencing uncommon behavior (instability) of RouterBOARD

First, upgrade the BIOS and check if the RouterBOARD is still unstable.

If it is, try to disable pci back-off parameter in BIOS setup.

Common practice, how to choose the pci back-off parameter value:

  • Keep enabled if you are using Atheros PCMCIA cards
  • Enable on newer RouterBOARD 200 boards (with 266MHz CPU clock) with Atheros MiniPCI cards in RouterBOARD 14 (4-port MiniPCI-PCI) adapter
  • Disable on older RouterBOARD 200 boards (with 233MHz CPU clock) with Atheros MiniPCI cards in RouterBOARD 14 (4-port MiniPCI-PCI) adapter
  • Disable it if you are using newer RouterBOARD 200 boards (with 266MHz CPU clock) with external PCI Ethernet cards.

All of these practices has been defined experimentally, so they may or may not apply to your particular case.

What to do if my CMOS settings are resetting each time I power-off my board?

First, check that the CMOS reset jumper JP3 is in the 1-2 position. If it is, then try to replace the CMOS battery. The correct battery type is CR1620 Lithium Coin.

Mikrotik RouterOS License Key

January 22nd, 2010

You can get license key by buying the license in the mikrotik website. Create an account on MikroTik’s webpage (the top right-hand corner of www.mikrotik.com). You can use a credit card to pay for the key.

Formatting, and Re-Imaging the drive with non-mikrotik tools (like DD and Fdisk) will destroy your license! Be very careful and contact mikrotik support before doing this. It is not recommended, as mikrotik support might deny your request for a replacement license.

There are no license level upgrades, if you wish to use a different license Level, please purchase the appropriate level. Be very careful when purchasing for the first time, choose the correct option.

If you loose your key you can ask for replacement. It is a special key which is issued by the Support Team if you accidently lose the license, and the Mikrotik Support decides that it is not directly your fault. It costs 10$ and has the same features as the key that you lose. Note that before issuing such key, the Mikrotik Support can ask you to prove that the old drive is failed, in some cases this means sending us the dead drive.
