RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN Netinstall without serial cable

Mon Apr 28, 2014 4:30 am

Hi,

My RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN is stuck in "loading kernel". So I want to use netinstall to reinstall firmware. But I don't have a serial cable.

Is there a way to do netinstall without a serial cable. Should I use normal network cable in the serial port?

Jake

you don't need serial cable to run netinstall. just follow instructions in the quick guide.
http://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/rb2011 ... 085321.pdf
- Hold the button before powering on the device, and at power up, the button will force load the backup boot-
loader. Continue holding the button for the other two functions of this button:
**Release the button when green LED starts flashing, to reset RouterOS configuration. To not load backup boot-
loader, you can start holding the button after power is already applied
**Release the button after LED is no longer flashing (~20 seconds) to cause device to look for Netinstall servers
(required for reinstalling RouterOS over network)

I tried but the netinstall cannot find my router. I connect a cable in eth1 into a computer.

Yes, those instructions will work also.

Make sure your Windows PC has Firewall and Antivirus turned off, and that you run Netinstall "As Administrator"
