Follow these steps to keep your MikroTik router up to date. This is a basic instruction video for people just starting to know the powerful RouterOS software.
Could you advice me. If I have several mikrotik connected to the main mikrotik(CAP) should I have one dhcp server on the main mikrotik(cap) or each mikrotik should have its own dhcp-server? It’s a home network. I guess it’s quite obvious with dhcp-client but I couldn’t find anything on server.
after upgrading routeros 7.3.1 in the wireless menu in the advanced section click adaptive noise if you select the client mode menu it returns to none and also in the tx power section. (Rb962iuGs)
any sugestions on how to automate the upgrading of firmware on connected CAPs, that are of different architecture? i kind of agree, that is not that big deal to go online, download required firmware file, upload it to router, and then press button "upgrade" in capsman, but c'mon, that could be automated years ago, at least on winbox side, but if not, maybe there are some scripts out there, that would do that part? with several routers, and several capsmans that routine task becomes... ummmm... anoying.
Hi Mikrotik team, When I use the packages window to update to V7 it says "calculating download" but nothing happens. Same process does work updating to a newer version of V6. The only additional packages I have are: NTP, Multicast and IOT.
Thanks for the continued software support! We've made a similar video on RouterOS upgrade (ruclips.net/video/gjU0YYp0s-Y/видео.html) and will indeed upgrade our tutorial by adding the article on RouterOS v7. On a similar note, upgrading firmware along with the main software is essential as it'll ensure flawless hardware operation. Eager for more!
Could you please cross compile WinBox on Linux system? Could you please open source code? Today more and more ecosystems does not have Windows computers (i.e. I know about wine64 and work under WineBox emulation)
@@mikrotik it require setup a lot of additional library only for run single Windows application. Why you can not cross compile WinBox for Linux? How about opensource WinBox UI library for entusiasts may porting it on Qt or for WxWidgets?
What about swOS? If you don't use DHCP, there is no possibility do upgrade swOS because you can't define a default GW and DNS Server. SWOS is absolutely suitable for most businesses who just want a switch to switch the network with 4 or 5 VLANs and routing is done elsewhere or on a Mikrotik Router (this with Router OS of course).
You can define static and DNS, you could also just set it to DHCP and then have your router assign the IP Address. I use both a mix of SwichOS and RouterOS on different vlans and it all works just fine. I do think swOS has issues with it comes to upgrading, stupid things fail a lot and I have to go to the server room to fix them. I never have that issue in RouterOS though.
This is wonderful, but could you tell me how to update the flat hAP lite 16Mb r3, because this brick is not over the network, it can not be updated in a standard way !!!
if something bad happens to a device and it can't be updated or reached in normal ways, I suggest doing a Netinstall. We have a video about that too: ruclips.net/video/gzlLbIf3Dbk/видео.html
@@mikrotik Netinstall detects the device, performs an update, but after rebooting again the factory version 🧐🧐🧐, I am amazed, but there is no such problem with tower routers of this model.
Winbox always just kicks me to the web settings page. And that doesn't check for updates. It looks like there are two different versions of the RB260GSP, but I can't find the product code on the device, so I don't know which I have.
RB260GSP runs a different software. It's a switch, and does not have RouterOS inside. So the video does not apply to that product. Switches are very basic devices, just plug your cables and use. For advanced software with routing, firewall, bandwidth shaping etc you need a Router, not a Switch.
@@mikrotik Yeah. I get that, but there were two different entries for GSP on the download page. I figured it out. I tried to upgrade with the "new" version the the web interface told me the file was wrong. Then I tried the firmware file for the old model and it worked.
@@mikrotik no, i mean, after upgrade RoS 7.1.2 to 7.2.3, the kernel still on 7.1.2 and need to click again on upgrade kernel. 1. What if we upgrade RoS to 7.2.3, but the kernel still on 7.1.2? 2. Why not the software auto upgrade the kernel alongside with package itself?
On my hAP ac^3 and hAP ac^2 I normally do via cli: /system package update check-for-updates /system package update install /system routerboard upgrade /system reboot easy to script if you have a few devices.

Always get excited when mikrotik uploads a new video - love your products - currently doing my MTCRE one day I’ll have all the certs
i like the immediate cut as soon as long term was selected under channel menu ) keep up the good work, guys. cheers

Please make videos on mikrotik scripts
Hi. when will there be an update for wireguard on the RB450GX4? Unfortunately the hardware acceleration doesn't work!?

Can we install the software on our own box? Like an old Intel pc?
Is user manager database also updated? If not how to upate please.
Is v7 much slower than v6 on older, cheapest home routers like hAP ac lite? Is it worth to upgrade from v6 to v7 on that type of devices?
I wouldn’t suggest upgrading the hAP Lite models, but they will work. All the new exciting things in v7 are more for a bit faster models

Any news about mikrotik OLT
What about the channel "upgrade" ? When was is introduced? Is there only to transition from os version 6 to 7?
Yes only for v6 to v7
Hi Mikrotik team,
When I use the packages window to update to V7 it says "calculating download" but nothing happens.
Same process does work updating to a newer version of V6.
The only additional packages I have are: NTP, Multicast and IOT.
Looks like our multicast package is missing in the server. We will fix it, then it will work for you. Thanks for reporting!
@@mikrotik thanks guys!
What about the firmware update under System/RouterBOARD? Don't we have to do that too?
it can be enabled to happen automatically so you don't have to worry about it.
system/routerboard/settings> print
auto-upgrade: yes
Not 100% automatically though, you still need to reboot again after Software upgrade... Kinda important thing to skip over
Any recommended script to upgrade RoS?
Boss need load balance video for multiple isp. I saw many videos and script and do this, but not worked properly. Please help.

If you know about wine, why not use it? Winbox can’t be cross compiled, it must be made from 0
Isn’t text terminal better? Accurate and better for scripting. I think WinBox can retire now, since Windows have ssh client by default now.
@@sinofool no. WinBox is more simple to diagnostic and debugging.

But what about an upgrade to 802.11k/v/r?
How about the "container"?
How about Kernel Upgrade? Is it a must?
Why not MikroTik upgrade the kernel with the RoS?
We do upgrade the kernel. New kernel is one of the major features in routerOS 7
@@mikrotik no, i mean, after upgrade RoS 7.1.2 to 7.2.3, the kernel still on 7.1.2 and need to click again on upgrade kernel.
1. What if we upgrade RoS to 7.2.3, but the kernel still on 7.1.2?
2. Why not the software auto upgrade the kernel alongside with package itself?
What you mean is the bootloader and not the kernal
@@damagi7630 thanks for correcting :)
What if OS and bootloader not same?
bgp is the the biggest, we want to get to point we can trust bgp on v7 completely. it would be fantastic for sale.
Why didn't the video mention about the next needed/recommended step: "/system routerboard upgrade" ?
It’s not really that important do do that
@@mikrotik Thank you!
How to update. Using winbox mobile??
Use our mobile apps
Why you dont explain an upgrade channel?
Upgrade channel exists only in routerOS v6 to upgrade to v7
upgrade is easy like a cup of coffe. downgrade, sometimes, like a glass of vodka. but changelog its a decision point.
On my hAP ac^3 and hAP ac^2 I normally do via cli:
/system package update check-for-updates
/system package update install
/system routerboard upgrade
/system reboot
easy to script if you have a few devices.
status: ERROR: no internet connection
For upgrading Mikrotik press button upgrade. Guide ended. And it tooks less than 10 minutes about nothing.
Congratulations that you are so knowledgeable, but let others learn about details :)
