This MikroTik device should be installed and operated no closer than 20 centimeters from your body, occupational user, or the general public.

Setup​

This device is a simple home wireless access point. It is configured out of the box, you can simply plug in your internet cable and start using wireless internet. We recommend you set up a password to secure your device.

  • Ensure your Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows hardware changes and automatically assigns an IP address;
  • Connect the ISP cable to the Ethernet1 port;
  • Connect the device to the power source;
  • Connect to the device through any of the ports, excluding Ethernet1, or the wireless network "MikroTik-..." (ensure to check the wireless passwords on the sticker);
  • Establish a connection using a mobile application. Alternatively, use WebFig in a web browser or the "WinBox" configuration tool at https://mt.lv/winbox. Multiple configuration methods are available to ensure accessibility;
  • Start configuration within the chosen tool, using the default IP address 192.168.88.1. If the IP address is unavailable, use WinBox and choose the "Neighbors" tab to find the device;
  • Proceed to connect using the MAC address. The username is "admin", and there is no password (or, for some models, check user and wireless passwords on the sticker);
  • Click the "Check for updates" button and update RouterOS to the latest version;
  • For a manual update of the device, visit mikrotik.com, select your model, and locate the required packages in the "Downloads" section;
  • Upload downloaded packages to the WebFig or WinBox "Files" menu and reboot the device;
  • By upgrading your RouterOS software to the latest version, you can ensure optimal performance, stability, and security updates;
  • In the "QuickSet" menu set up the following: Choose your country, to apply country regulation settings;
  • Set up your wireless network password in the left field;
  • Set up your router password in the bottom field.

Powering​

The device accepts power from the power jack or from the first Ethernet port (Passive PoE). The power consumption for RB951G-2HnD under maximum load can reach 7 W, RB951Ui-2HnD 24 W.

  • direct-input power jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 8-30 V DC.
  • The first Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet accepts 8-30 V DC. On the RB951Ui model, the Ether5 port supports PoE output for powering other RouterBOARD devices. The port has an auto-detection feature, so you can connect Laptops and other non-PoE devices without damaging them. The PoE on Ether5 outputs approximately 2V below input voltage and supports up to 0.58A (So provided 24V PSU will provide 22V/0.58 A output to the Ether5 PoE port).

Configuration​

RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest starting here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities: https://mt.lv/help In case IP connection is not available, the WinBox tool (https://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side (all access is blocked from the internet port by default). For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device from the network, see the Buttons and jumpers.

Extension slots and ports​

  • Five individual Ethernet ports, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices.
  • Integrated Wireless 2.4 GHz radio with onboard PIF antennas, max gain 2.5 dBi

Buttons and jumpers​

The reset button has three functions:

  • Hold this button during boot time until the green LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration.
  • Keep holding the reset button until the LED turns solid, then release it to enable CAP mode. The device will then start searching for a CAPsMAN server.
  • To reinstall RouterOS using the Netinstall utility, enter the device into BOOTP mode. Two booter options are available: the Regular Booter and the Backup Booter. It is recommended to verify both options in case one does not work.
    • Regular Booter: To enter etherboot mode, press the Reset button after powering on the device and waiting 1–2 seconds.
    • Backup Booter: Power off the device. Press and hold the Reset button, then power on the device. Wait for the LED sequence (blinking → steady → off), then release the button. The device will boot into BOOTP mode, ready for RouterOS reinstallation via Netinstall. Depending on the model, this may be indicated by the USR, USER, System, or ACT LED, or by the SFP port LED.

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.

Operating system support​

The device supports RouterOS v7 and above. The specific factory-installed version is listed in /system resource. Other operating systems have not been tested.

Notice​

  • The Frequency band 5.470-5.725 GHz isn’t allowed for commercial use.
  • In case WLAN devices work with different ranges than the above regulations, then a customized firmware version from the manufacturer/supplier is required to be applied to the end-user equipment and also prevent the end-user from reconfiguration.
  • For Outdoor Usage: End-user requires approval/license from the NTRA.
  • Datasheet for any device is available on the official manufacturer website.
  • Products with the letters “EG” at the end of their serial number have their wireless frequency range limited to 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz, the TX power is limited to 20dBm (EIRP).
  • Products with the letters “EG” at the end of their serial number have their wireless frequency range limited to 5.150 – 5.250 GHz, the TX power is limited to 23dBm (EIRP).
  • Products with the letters “EG” at the end of their serial number have their wireless frequency range limited to 5.250 – 5.350 GHz, the TX power is limited to 20dBm (EIRP).

Please make sure the device has a lock package (firmware version from the manufacturer) which is required to be applied to the end-user equipment to prevent the end-user from reconfiguration. The product will be marked with country code “-EG”. This device needs to be upgraded to the latest version to ensure compliance with local authority regulations! It is the end users responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. All MikroTik radio devices must be professionally installed.

To avoid pollution of the environment, please separate the device from household waste and dispose of it in a safe manner, such as in designated waste disposal sites. Familiarize yourself with the procedures for the proper transportation of the equipment to the designated disposal sites in your area.
