Free Download Winbox 64 Bit

[Carlito Austin]

Winboxis a small utility that allows administration of MikroTik RouterOS using a fast and simple GUI. It is a native Win32 binary, but can be run on Linux and MacOS (OSX) using Wine. All Winbox interface functions are as close as possible mirroring the console functions, that is why there are no Winbox sections in the manual. Some of advanced and system critical configurations are not possible from winbox, like MAC address change on an interface Winbox changelog

To connect to the router enter IP or MAC address of the router, specify username and password (if any) and click on Connect button. You can also enter the port number after the IP address, separating them with a colon, like this 192.168.88.1:9999. The port can be changed in RouterOS services menu.

From list of discovered routers you can click on IP or MAC address column to connect to that router. If you click on IP address then IP will be used to connect, but if you click on MAC Address then MAC address will be used to connect to the router.

It is possible to use command line to pass connect to, user and password parameters automatically to conenct to router through RoMON. In this case RoMON Agent must be saved on Managed routers list so Winbox would know user and password for this device:

Winbox neighbor discovery is now capable of discovering IPv6 enabled routers. As you can see from the image below, there are two entries for each IPv6 enabled router, one entry is with IPv4 address and another one with IPv6 link-local address. You can easily choose to which one you want to connect:

Wine is a software that allows you to run Windows executable files on macOS. Install latest Wine software from the official Wine HQ homepage, during installation you must check the "64 bit" checkbox, so that it can operate in macOS Catalina and newer. Then, you will have to launch Winbox 64bit version using this command line:

For older macOS versions, It is possible to use Winbox in Apple macOS operating system by using Wine emulation software. For easier use it can be combined with WineBottler software to create a more convenient executable.

Child windows can not be dragged out of working area. Notice in screenshot above that Interface window is dragged out of visible working area and horizontal scroll bar appeared at the bottom. If any window is outside visible work area boundaries the vertical or/and horizontal scrollbars will appear.

Notice that at the right side next to quick find input filed there is a dropdown box. For currently opened (IP Route) window this dropdown box allows to quickly sort out items by routing tables. For example if main is selected, then only routes from main routing table will be listed.

Similar dropdown box is also in all firewall windows to quickly sort out rules by chains.

By default winbox shows most commonly used parameters. However sometimes it is needed to see another parameters, for example "BGP AS Path" or other BGP attributes to monitor if routes are selected properly.

It is possible to list items by categories. In tis mode all items will be grouped alphabetically or by other category. For example items may be categorized alphabetically if sorted by name, items can also be categorized by type like in screenshot below.

You will need to edit your registry to inform it about opening winbox:// URLs. Which is pretty straightforward. I will try to add in a Registry key you can download and run. But Everything will be in HKEY_Classes_Root where you add in a key for winbox and underneath that a few levels put a key that points to winboxcommand.

If your using Radius your life gets a lot simpler there as well, then you just have your Username and a Secret unique to your account instead of a unique password per device. Though I have not implemented that yet and I need to play with that a bit.

last but not least, be careful with the updates of that brand cause, as you saw, create problems. i have two versions of winbox to connect to my place devices cause the net admin afraid of the updates (he have experience with that brand)

Found an issue with 4.4.3 and latest beta.

When CPE is in NAT mode traffic will seem to flow like normal BUT winbox / vpn connections will constantly fail and reconnect from BEHIND the CPE. I have enabled and disabled many of the settings and nothing seems to fix the issue BUT putting the CPE in bridge mode. Network is running OSPF/MPLS/VPLS.

The same behavior exhibits itself for customers running RDP sessions to a remote host behind a force 300 in nat mode. The only solution is to bridge the CPE. I've had a number of customers complain about this.

If upgrading, you can backup your saved managed sessions from tools export but be sure to savethem to a location outside of the application because overwriting the applicaiton will replace theentire winbox environment. When exporting be sure to go back to the / then find the path to your user profile.

Winbox is a GUI application to manage and configure Mikrotik RouterOS. It is be much easier to manage Mikrotik using Winbox than CLI (ssh or telnet or hyperterminal via RS232).

Basically to be able to manage RouterOS using winbox, you have to have basic knowledge about networking, there are good howtos and articles published at www.wiki.mikrotik.com.

There is one pretty awesome thing that we are given for free by Mikrotik - it is an application that dramatically improves the way you manage your network environment system, it is called the dude

As per picture below, once you obtain and run winbox please click the three dots, it should show all available Mikrotik devices. Just click on MAC address (if your PC has different subnet to the address provided in the listing) fill in the username and password and press connect. If you have PC within the same network choose IP address instead of MAC as it works faster and also thy upgrade of RouterOS is much safer (in case you would like to perform one)

6. It is always advisable to configure an IP address on the interface you are connected to on. Once you have a valid ip address on the router that is reachable by your PC you should close down Winbox and reconnect by entering the IP address into the conect to box in in the Winbox loader rather than the Mac address that you originally connnected. the reason for this is whe connected via the Mac layer communication is carried out via broacast traffic. This is a very unreliable method and may cause unexected disconnects from time to time. When you connect via an IP address you will have a more stabe TCP router connection to the router.

Your Windows firewall may be blocking the Mac Broadcasting - Try turning off your firewall both the windows or any other commericial one that you may have installed, and or try adding winbox to the exception list in your firewall (see notes above)

2) Another possible problem is if you are connected throught a managed switch that has broadcast storm control features it may be required to relax the broadcast threshold on the switch as a switch may mistake the large amount of broadcast traffis as a misconfigured network and start to block the traffic
