Unable to upgrade MikroTik WLC RouterBOARD 3011UiAS

Fri Sep 14, 2018 9:01 pm

Folks, hi there. I have 2 RouterBOARD 3011UiAS acting as WLC's and 12 AP's hap ac RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT. All are attached via ethernet cables to cisco core switches. I am able to connect to all devices either via https/http, ssh and winbox.

Using instructions I found on a couple of internet sites including the MikroTik site, I am trying to upgrade these from their current 6.42.3 to 6.42.5. This based on some reading I did on forums where the newer version corrected some issues we seem to be having.

Last night I downloaded the version from the MikroTik website and, using winbox, transferred it to the files area. Then, as per the instructions, I rebooted the box. It did not come up on the new version but stayed on 6.42.3. I tried upgrading the routerboard as well with no luck. I also tried the upgrade through system/packages to the new version 6.42.7 and it downloaded but again, the system is not upgraded.

Am I missing something here? The only device with the package file is the primary wlc. All others do not appear to contain a package file in their files list so I am assuming the primary wlc pushes the upgrade to the others? Haven't been able to find any documentation which confirms this.

The file I grabbed was routeros-mipsbe-6.42.5.npk. The original file on the device was routeros-mipsbe-6.42.3.npk.

Am I missing something? Has anyone run into this issue before? Thanks! Jim

The RB3011 is an ARM device. You should download the ARM package from https://mikrotik.com/download

Easier is to go to the system->packages menu and select "check for updates" where you can then download the current version.
It will automatically download the files required for the device you run it on.

You cannot upgrade to a previous release (6.42.5) via system packages.

Folks, thanks so much for the quick replies. So, are all the WLC's and AP's based on my model info ARM devices? I did try the upgrade through packages / upgrade but that didn't work either....

Take a good look at the download page. The models are listed above the links. hAP ac is mipsbe.

If upgrade via packages fails, check the log for details.

Folks, so thanks to everyone for all the replies. I am happy to report that I was finally able to get this to work and did not need to use netinstall. Turns out there was a mipsle package file already on the device and by leaving it there it was causing a conflict when I tried to upgrade with the proper arm package. I removed the mipsle file and the upgrade worked as documented. Thanks all, I appreciate everyones feedback!
