Netinstall is a powerful utility provided by MikroTik that allows reinstallation of RouterOS on RouterBOARD devices. It is primarily used for:
Reflashing or reinstalling RouterOS
Recovering devices that are not booting correctly
Clearing configurations during reinstall
It does not allow you to reset the password without losing the configuration, nor is it used just for configuration reset.
MTCNA Official Course Material – Tools & Netinstall:
“Netinstall is used to reinstall RouterOS onto a MikroTik device via the network. It can be used to install a specific RouterOS version or wipe the existing installation.”
René Meneses MTCNA Guide – Tools Chapter:
“Netinstall allows you to reinstall RouterOS and optionally reset the configuration. It does not allow recovery of the existing password or configuration unless backed up beforehand.”
MikroTik Wiki – Netinstall Utility:
“Netinstall is a tool used for reinstalling RouterOS. It formats the system partition and reinstalls RouterOS. This is useful in case of misconfiguration or firmware corruption.”
Option B is incorrect — password reset is only possible via full configuration wipe.
Option C is not accurate — Netinstall reinstalls the entire OS, not just resets configuration.
Only A is correct.

You would like to allow multiple logins with one user name on a HotSpot server. How should this be configured?
A. Set "Shared Users" option at /ip HotSpot user profile
B. It's not possible
C. Set "Shared Users" option at /ip HotSpot
D. Set "only-one=no" at /ip HotSpot
Answer: A
MikroTik HotSpot user management allows defining how many simultaneous sessions a single username can support. This is done via the "Shared Users" option in the user profile configuration, not in the general HotSpot or interface settings.
MTCNA Course Material – HotSpot Section:
“Shared Users in user-profile allows multiple concurrent logins using the same username/password combination. Default is 1. If set to 3, then three sessions can be active simultaneously.”
René Meneses MTCNA Study Guide – HotSpot Configuration:
“The shared-users parameter in /ip hotspot user profile allows multiple concurrent sessions for the same user. This is commonly used in shared environments like hotels or cafes.”
Terry Combs MTCNA Notes – HotSpot Profiles:
“Shared-users is set per profile, not per user. If you want three devices to log in with the same account, set shared-users=3 in the profile assigned to that user.”
Option A is correct.
Option B is false — it is definitely possible.
Option C is incorrect — /ip hotspot does not contain this parameter.
Option D is invalid — “only-one” is not a known parameter in HotSpot configuration.
Final Answer: AQUESTION NO: 91 [Routing]
When adding a static route, you must always ensure that you add both the gateway and the interface.
A. False
B. True
Answer: A
In RouterOS, specifying the gateway IP is sufficient for static routing as long as the gateway IP is reachable via a directly connected interface. The system automatically determines the correct interface based on the routing table. Adding an interface manually is only required in special cases, such as point-to-point links.
MTCNA Course Material – Static Routing Section:
“You can configure static routes by specifying the destination and gateway only. The system can resolve the interface automatically if the gateway is reachable.”
René Meneses MTCNA Study Guide – Routing Examples:
“The interface field is optional in most routing scenarios. MikroTik will find the outgoing interface if the gateway IP is in a directly connected subnet.”
MikroTik Wiki – Routing Configuration:
“In most cases, just the dst-address and gateway are sufficient. The interface will be determined by the router.”
Therefore, the idea that both gateway and interface must always be defined is incorrect.

Please select valid scan-list values in interface wireless configuration:
A. 5560,5620-5700
B. 5640~5680
C. default,5560,5600,5660-5700
D. 5540,5560,5620+5700
Answer: C
The scan-list option defines the frequencies that a wireless interface should scan or operate on. Valid formats include:
Single frequencies: e.g., 5560
Ranges: e.g., 5660-5700
Including "default" for system-determined values
Comma-separated lists are accepted
Characters like ~ or + are not allowed.
MTCNA Official Course Material – Wireless Configuration:
“scan-list can include frequency numbers and ranges separated by commas. Example: 5500,5520-5700. Use ‘default’ to use the standard channel list.”
René Meneses MTCNA Guide – Wireless Interface Options:
“Valid scan-list includes entries like: 5180,5200-5320, or default. Invalid characters such as ‘~’ or ‘+’ are not supported.”
MikroTik Wiki – Wireless Manual:
“Values can be comma-separated frequencies and ranges. Symbols such as ‘+’ or ‘~’ are not allowed in scan-list values.”
Option A: valid format
Option B: invalid (‘~’ is not allowed)
Option C: valid — includes default and proper ranges
Option D: invalid — ‘+’ symbol is not allowed
Thus, Option C is the only valid and complete answer.
