Hello. I have a big problem. In my mikrotik, I clicked to disable ethernet interface and now, of course, i can't connect to routerboard over LAN. Wifi interface is my ISP. Is any way to login? Because my mikrotik is too high under the roof our building. Dammend!

Thank you for some advice.

Best regards, Zdenek

Go to a client, connect over wireless interface and enable it.

If I understand correctly connects mikrotik router with a wireless accesspoint from your isp? You can try to connect with the routerbaord an accesspoint, through a port on the accesspoint trying to log in. That ability depends on the firewall settings on the rouetrboard Otherwise, there is nothing else than to reset the router board

I locked myself out of MikroTik router because of a firewall rule. What I managed to do was to connect to the router by it's MAC address, not IP address, using WinBox. It's worth the try for you. You might have to connect to the outer interface, i.e. ISP interface.

The best way is to access it through the wireless interface (if you can)

If it's configured as AP, just connect to it. If it's configure as Station, put a new AP near it with the same SSID, security settings and MAC Address. Then, reboot the MK and it will connect to your AP.

If you can't connect to it due to firewall rules, connect it by MAC address.

If anything works, you can try to use Netinstall. Maybe it will try to boot through network.

Contrary, you will have to climb to the Mk
