Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:39 pm

Hello,

I have two SXT 5HPnD to connect two remote sites, they work great, but the available firmware version is different:

Why is that? Both have same packages versions.

Thanks and regards.

At some point, did you have an RC installed? Maybe you downgraded the RouterOS before updating the firmware.

Hello, I don't know. I buy it to other person, maybe he could install RC.

Which is the stable firmware for this devices? Could I update it manually?

Best regards.

Maybe it has something to do with multiple hardware revisions of the SXT 5HPnD.

For example (i'm just thinking, i've no info about that) :
You got one unit with r2 and the other one with r3. And each revision has a specific firmware, and each firmware has its own versions.

Try installing the latest 6.38RC41 and then upgrade the firmware in both to 3.33

Thanks for the reply.

I use the devices in active link and I have no easy access to them.

I prefer to not break it. Could I update and mantain same configuration?

Best regards.

The OS and firmware updates do not effect the configuration. Each unit should take about 45 seconds of downtime to update.

99.9% chance that the firmware will make no difference in your SXT units. Only rarely there is something that makes it worth upgrading.

RouterOS updates are much more important.
