I used a new Thunderbolt in Orlando during the CTIA show where Verizon turned up their 4G.

[WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
I posted this on the MT forum but I wanted to throw it out here too. Thanks. I've got an RB-750 that I want to replace with an RB-750G and I can't get any connectivity between the RB-750G and the Motorola Surfboard cable modem. First I exported in imported the RB-750's config into the RB-750G but the RB-750G didn't seem to be getting a DHCP address from the Motorola Surfboard cable modem on it's Ether1-Gateway port. I had a link light but no connectivity, the RB-750G wouldn't even respond to a ping from the internet. Then I tried the RB-750G with the default config (after \system reset) and it still wouldn't work. Again I had a link light but no connectivity in or out. Next I disabled the RB-750G's DHCP client on the Ether1-Gateway port and manually configured it for the public IP address that the Surfboard has been giving out via DCHP for years. It's a dynamic IP address but it never changes even after widespread system wide outages experienced by the cable company. That seems to be our address. Anyway, Even with the IP address manually configured I still couldn't get any connectivity. I'm located in South America and the modem/RB-750G in question are in NY. I'm managing all this remotely. When I was testing connectivity I was trying to ping the router from the internet, connect to the router via WinBox from the internet, and by having the local users attempt to access the internet. All of those failed. Now my guess is the RB-750G and modem are not successfully auto-negotiating the Ethernet port parameters. So I had the user pick up a cross over cable which I'm going to try next with the RB-750G set to 100Mbps and full duplex. Any ideas about what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
I thought of that and tried rebooting the modem and it didn't seem to help. I'll try it again. If the modem was latched to the MAC of the downstream box, would that just effect DHCP or would it effect connectivity in general? So nobody thinks it's possibly a GigE auto-negotiation? I'm going to try forcing the port speed to 100Mbps and use the cross over cable just to see. Thanks!

Re: [WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
Sometimes with our cable company you have to call their support line and have them reset the modem and the MAC address in their system.

It's a dynamic IP address but it never changes even after widespread system wide outages experienced by the cable company. That seems to be our address. Anyway, Even with the IP address manually configured I still couldn't get any connectivity. I'm located in South America and the modem/RB-750G in question are in NY. I'm managing all this remotely. When I was testing connectivity I was trying to ping the router from the internet, connect to the router via WinBox from the internet, and by having the local users attempt to access the internet. All of those failed. Now my guess is the RB-750G and modem are not successfully auto-negotiating the Ethernet port parameters. So I had the user pick up a cross over cable which I'm going to try next with the RB-750G set to 100Mbps and full duplex. Any ideas about what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
Crossover Cable shouldn't matter as all MT routerboards are auto MD/X. Most cable companies have the MAC authorized on their systems, and a call to their support to rest the MAC should fix your problem. If you see any ethernet errors, try 100M/full on the port without auto negotiate.

Re: [WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
It was an issue of needing to reboot the modem, but also that the RB-750 was getting a different IP address via DHCP from the modem than the RB-750G was getting from the modem. I guess the IP address that's handed out is based on the MAC address of the client. What threw me off was each time I'd switch back to the original RB-750 it would get the same public IP address it's been getting for more than a year for it's Ether1-Gateway port. That made me think it was the only IP address the modem was giving out via DHCP so I was expecting the RB-750G to have the same address. But the RB-750G was getting random IPs each time I would have it put online. Once I figured that out everything worked out. Thanks for the comments.

I have the same config as you did, RB-750 and Surfboard. Then replace it with RB-750G. Basically the problem is that the MAC Address of the RB-750 ether-1 is recorded by the Cable provider. Reboot or reset the Surfboard has nothing to do with it. I just need to call my cable provider to release the MAC Address for my subscription. On a cheap SOHO router, there is always a way to clone the MAC Address. But I never did that on Mikrotik.

Re: [WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
I was in the process of swapping a 433ah for a 450g and am experiencing some of the same trouble. I copied the config from the 433 to the 450g and it doesn't work. The port I have as ether1 showed up red in winbox.

Re: [WISPA] Problems swapping an RB750 and RB-750G
You probably need to recreate manually as much of the configuration as possible since you're switching between two totally different hardware configurations. It sounds like ports could go all over the place after reading some of the other comments. That's how I switch platforms. you should still be able to export small segments like firewall rules after configuring the individual ports accordingly.
