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"

2. In the Source: area paste in the entire line below: WITHOUT THE QUOTES " "


":if ([/ping 192.168.0.10 interval=5 count=60] =0) do={ log info "my ping watchdog is down" ; /system reboot }"


3. 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

2. Click on the Down tab Paste in the line below: WITHOUT THE QUOTES " "


"/system script run NetWatchBoot-192.168.0.10"


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


Reboot the Router from System>Reboot>Yes
