Mikrotik Netwatch script on AP for auto reboot ...

First - what this does:

• It will ping test an IP address. This is a remote IP address (such as the Base Station IP 192.168.0.10)
• If the remote IP address does not answer any pings for 5 minutes, then the router reboots.

To set it up - follow these steps using Winbox:

1. Go to System>Scripts

Click on the red "+" Give your script a Name (in my example I will use "NetWatchBoot-192.168.0.10"

1. In the Source: area paste in the entire line below:

if ([/ping 192.168.0.10 interval=5 count=60] =0) do={

log info "my ping watchdog is down" ; /system reboot }

1. Click the Apply button - then click the OK button

Here is the Logic... The above sample will ping 192.168.0.10 for 5 intervals of 60 seconds = 5 minutes If it does not reach the the assigned script NetWatchboot IP address, the MikroTik will reboot

At this time - we have a script - it is not running or active yet.

1. Go to Tools>Netwatch

Click on the red "+" On the Host tab - type in 192.168.0.10

Set interval for 00:01:00 min

1. Click on the Down tab

Paste in the line below:

/system script run NetWatchBoot-192.168.0.10

1. Click the Apply button - then click the OK button

Reboot the Router from System>Reboot>Yes
