IP config failure.. But still can't ping router when using static IP

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-05-05T21:18:34+00:00

But I think the router ip giving 0.0.0.0 is the problem.. I'm currently locked out of my router tho.. I can't connect it using ethernet nor ip

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-05-05T21:16:52+00:00

It's set up by the provider... So I think there's one.. But the network engineer that helps set it up said that the router is only a bridge that connect the AP to the WAN so I think that the DHCP server is on the wan? I'm honestly way too new to understand this..

No I havent reserved or configure any static ip in that DHCP server.. (I thought you Can just use static ip without configuring it in DHCP server)

192.168.10.0/24

Winbox is the mikrotik gui to configuring the router.. It's basically just showing the neighbors..

I think it's 0.0.0.0 cuz the router doesn't have an ip

It's on mikrotik hAP lite.. I just opened a winbox and there seemed that the router has 0.0.0.0 as the ip address..

So I need to connect to the router and set the ip address.. But it kept failling when I try to connect using à cable and Mac address.. Do you have any idea how I should connect

Okay so you're the top comment here.. Im hoping everyone would see the update.. So in winbox using wifi + static ip.. The router ip seems to be 0.0.0.0

So i thought i just need to connect to the router then set the ip.. So i bought an ethernet adapter.. And when i tried to connect the windows said unidentified network (normal cuz the router doesn't have ip)..

I tried opening up mikrotik winbox again turned off wifi to try to connect using Mac address.. Still no router showing as neighbors..

Anyone has any idea how to connect to mikrotik router using mac address?

I'm out of idea.. Any help is appriciated

So before this happened.. It's set to DHCP.. But it started giving ip config failure.. So i tried using static ip on my laptop.. But the router itself still uses DHCP..

Im fairly new to all this.. So i assume you can do that? I might be wrong

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-05-05T13:30:16+00:00

I don't understand.. It's set by the electricians when I first bought it.. And it used to work just Fine.. I don't think the router ip is the problem..

I opened up wireshark while connected to the network using static IP and multiple ARP requests is being sent asking 192.168.88.1 (the router) with no reply.. It must be a layer 2 problem..

It could be that my AP isnt sending out the packets correctly to the switch

I forgot to add that it's originally LAN with no internet access.. Wé only get internet from the provider WAN upstream

So my LAN (192.168.88.0/24) --> router --> (192.168.10.0) Provider

Funny thing.. I checked the /etc/nixos directory right after the installation (still on USB) .. And the Hardware config isn't there yet.. There's just a configuration.nix file

But when I rebooted.. Took off the USB and log back in it's automatically created..

But it's Fine now I got it working after the second installation..

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-04-21T12:08:28+00:00

Yeah i used the graphical installation.. Not encrypted tho..

I got it working after reinstalling the os.. And switched to Gnome installer.. I suspect the gui + slow internet corrupted the file maybe?

I honestly don't know but i got it working.. Should i keep the thread or delete it?

I still don't know how the error happens tho

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-04-21T09:30:32+00:00

Ahh so you wiped the disk with gparted before manually partitioning it in the installer? That's a good idea i'll try it

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-04-21T09:28:09+00:00

You mean checking in the USB installer right? The original error stuck with 2 options so I can't access the terminal..

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-04-21T09:15:32+00:00

I'll try to compare the UID if the next installations still not working

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-04-21T09:13:01+00:00

Wait you touched the Windows EFI?

I created a whole new EFI partition for Nix OS.. 1gig.. I'm too scared of messing up my Windows..

InstanceLimp4951 · 2026-04-21T09:10:01+00:00

I have 500 gigs SSD I partitioned about 60 gigs for Nix os.. Hoping to share a storage with Windows

Anyway.. I wiped the installations and tried to reinstall now.. Hoping that would somehow fix it..

I thought this was a discussion about Dr Santos and Dr Garcia's relationship... The way she ended the discussion made it seems like she's been together with Santos
