MikroTik Routerboard RB750UP

This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram.
DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 4MB FLASH / 32MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 4/32 warning for details.

1) This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation.
This means that even setting a password or changing simple network settings might not be possible any more, rendering the device effectively useless. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now.

2) OpenWrt support for this device has ended in 2022.
19.07.10 was the last official build for 4/32 devices.

The Routerboard 750UP is a five port ethernet router and is passive PoE capable on all ports. The device is supported at least with Barrier Breaker (OpenWrt).

Similiar to the Routerboard 750.

  1. Prepare an OpenWrt Ramdisk Image (Target: AR7XX, Subtarget: Mikrotik NAND Flash) or use this
  2. Configure a TFTP and DHCP Server. For informations how to do this see Wolf's Tech Blog.
  3. Connect yourself via cable into Port 1 and start your DHCP/TFTP servers.
  4. Boot the Routerboard into TFTP-Mode by pressing the RES button for several seconds until ACT led is not blinking anymore.
  5. Plug a network cable into port 3 and flash openwrt into the flash memory:
    • serve your self-build OpenWrt images via http: $ python -m SimpleHTTPServer . or use this
    • telnet into the device: $ telnet 192.168.1.1
    • flash via wget2nand: $ wget2nand http://your-ip:8080'' or ''$ wget2nand http://cholin.spline.de/freifunk/openwrt/rb750up/ (you need internet connection on your device (via wan))
