Hello I have a RB 1200 that originally carried the version 5.x of the Router Os, but to test with another version of the Router Os gave him donwgrade to the version 4.17, and since do not have access to the RB; I have looked for informacion in the forum and now I know that the donwgrade in this case is bad idea; and indicate that with netinstall can recover the RB but have tried and scores me the following error CHECK ETHERNET WIRE / ETHERNET LINK ABSENT; I have read more the forum and saw informacion where indicate that updating the FIRMWARE can recover the RB, try it but when doing it goes out me another error, annex some images for a better view. Thanks for the help to recover my RB 1200

Thanks (sorry for my english)

Use ether10 port on RB1200 to connect to Netinstall and make sure RB1200 is in the same broadcast domain where the Netinstall PC.
