Background
I have RB941-2nD-TC (hAP-Lite2) and it seem I misconfigured, so I need to reset configuration using netinstall technique.
Requirements
- RouterOS base on your router architecture (in my case is SMIPS).
- Netinstall (CLI Linux).
- Plug out router from powerline.
Download all requirements files from https://mikrotik.com/download, and select RouterOS version (in my case is RouterOS v6).
Setup
Files
Extract all files to single folder, so we can work with the files easily.
Disable Internet Interface
Disable all internet interface such as WiFi, and only leaving with Ethernet.
IP Static
Using ip command.
sudo ip addr add 192.168.88.2/24 dev <interface>; sudo ip link set dev <interface> up
Using ifconfig command.
sudo ifconfig <interface> 192.168.88.2/24 up
Where <interface> is your ethernet interface name, you can print list ethernet interface using netstat -i, something like eth* or enp0s* is your interface.
IP Gateway
Using route command.
sudo route add default gw 192.168.88.1 <interface>
Check IP
Using route command to check if we success to setup IP.
route -n
It will print something like this.

Netinstall
Run netinstall with sudo.
sudo ./netinstall -r -a 192.168.88.1 <routeros>
- Plug ethernet cable from PC to router.
- Press reset button on router.
- Plug router to powerline.
Result
My netinstall result.

Make sure you set IP gateway.
