@chickenbeef @rrh @PhireSide @Silver-0-surfer @Barbarian Conan @ld13 @K3NS31 @Gtx Gaming and whoever else I think bought one of these.

Looks like these MikroTik routers fell of the back of a Vox truck as they're pre-configured to talk out to 41.193.20.41 which is Vox's Mikrotik provisioning service.

Could also be that Vox didn't pay their account, so the supplier (of the pre-configured devices) decided to cut their losses ... :)

Surely it's unlikely - though I would be the first to agree, not impossible - it's unlikely that somebody would sell stolen items via TAL ?

Maybe the ANC are worried about their SARS tax bill ?:ROFL:

Also likely that a large customer switched to vox but chose to use their own routers.
 
I was wondering why i needed to reset the devices before I could access hem with the default login credentials.
 
Or Vox reclaimed items from users who didnt want to pay them?

Or stock they never issued?
 
Surely Vox would keep the routers for the next bunch of suckers customers ?
 
Imagine the police case to sort this out? If it was a working police force. oh well I guess these are all in the wind now

Old? I know they demand their equipment back from customers at end of contract.

Any case going off topic

Wonder if you can reflash it?

I just factory reset mine, and updated to the newest stable version of router OS, both are working fine - I did notice a Vox pppoe username first time I logged in before the reset. :unsure:

Wasn't there a thing about Vox being awarded government tenders a couple of years back? :rolleyes:
