Having replaced the board on the blue boat, I am now not able to connect to the boat and base station. Any suggestions?

I have a new BlueBoat. But I cannot connect the boat to my Windows computer via the base station. As a result, I am unable to access the BlueOS software via the web browser 192.168.2.2 and perform the further installation and sail with the BlueBoat

I performed the Basestation pairing and network setup according to the steps as stated on the BlueBoat software setup on the website.

I cannot access the Blueboat router via the web browser (192.168.2.4) or BaseStation to my computer via USB I cannot access the BaseStation’s router (192.168.2.3).

I also connected my computer to Raspberry Pi via an ethernet cable and the USB ethernet adapter (to check whether the Raspberry PI works). This way I can access the BlueOS software via the web browser 192.168.2.2.

It seems that the pairing of the base station router and the blueboat router is not successful.

Is there a way to reset the router to default settings? with a simple step by step guide

i did have a MikroTik-58FD17 Wi-Fi shown, but when i connected direct to the boat via ethernet it then was shown in winbox I followed the first step to remove configuration and then the programme froze and the Wi-Fi MikroTik-58FD17 disappeared please help to gain access

Hi @John59a -

It sounds like you’ve removed the default settings on your Mikrotik radios, and neither is allowing you to access them / they’r enot reaching each other. Once you get that resolved, BlueOS should load as it does with the ethernet cable.

[This zip file has](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/uploads/short-url/2Lm0V2miSqV0FqHybddgO2ZDt9y.zip) the materials and instructions you need! It’s great that you already have Winbox, which is used to configure each radio.
