wireless accessing Mikrotik: NeighborViewer YES, winbox NO..

I can log onto my mikrotik hotspot router wirelessly through Neighbor viewer, but cannot via winbox. winbox detects it...after a very long wait...but when i try to log on via MAC it gives error : "router disconnected"
I get errors & unsuccessful trying to log on via IP also... could it be some kind of firewall or port issue? what port should I be trying on?...where/how to configure / allow such a port... if need be...

Mikrotik novice here...answer like I'm 5yrs old...

Winbox uses 8291 port for 2.9 versions.
Are you able to access router via null modem (console) cable ?
