This guide provides an easy-to-follow process for restoring a 4G/LTE/5G backup on a MikroTik router.

Steps to Restore:

  1. Open MikroTik Dude:
    • Launch the MikroTik Dude application on your computer.
  2. Find the Client:
    • Locate the specific client in the Dude interface.
    • Ensure the client is highlighted or selected to proceed.
  3. Connect to the Main Router:
    • Connect to the main router associated with the client.
    • Use the correct credentials to establish the connection.
  4. Disconnect and Use RoMON:
    • Once connected to the main router, disconnect from it.
    • Enable RoMON (Router Management Overlay Network) to manage devices behind the main router.
  5. Check the 4G/LTE/5G Device:
    • Verify that the 4G/LTE/5G device is online and functioning.
    • You can check this by:
      • Navigating to the Interfaces tab in WinBox.
      • Ensuring the LTE interface shows as “Running” or “Active.”
    • Confirm that 3G is disabled in the device settings to avoid conflicts.

Troubleshooting:

  • Device Not Online:
    • Verify the physical connection to the LTE modem.
    • Check SIM card status and signal strength in the LTE interface.
    • Ensure the correct APN settings are configured.

Final Steps:

  • Once verified, the backup connection should now be restored and operational.
  • Test connectivity by pinging a public IP or domain (e.g., ping 8.8.8.8).
