I hope MikroTik will be able to slow down the growth of the RouterOS package size. Compared to version 7.18.2 (ARM), the size has increased again by almost 100 KB.

The ROS sources provided in another topic seem not to reflect a current/recent release and are maybe 2+ years old.

Initial "pairing" with another TP-Link device unlocked it.

Indeed, discussed often. But IMHO these release topics are some variant of /dev/null. You can write until this topic gets locked for discussion. What a waste of words.

infabo

I'd suggest to continue these general discussion on ROS v7 capabilities in a dedicated topic. None of this is going to be improved in 7.19. It's in RC already.

infabo

Never mind. By writing this topic I've got the "idea" myself. All my users have address-restrictions set as well. And there it still was "address=192.168.0.0/24" instead of "address=192.168.0.0/24,fc00::/7".

If you run Chateau LTE12 with regular wireless package then you must contact Mikrotik support.

MikroTik could at least train their own model to understand RouterOS script language - without needing to publish any resources publicly, so the unique charm of RouterOS scripting isn't lost when someone stumbles upon rextended’s script collection.

infabo

It's not hard at all. LLM models just need to be trained with formal syntax or grammar specification languages like EBNF, ANTLR, etc and might be complemented with structured representations such as ASTs. There are plenty of tools and well-documented processes for this online. Currently it is hard ...

Thank you Znevna! Maybe I am naive but I still believe some day Mikrotik does a kind of extended changelog which explains changes in detail like this.

This is actually pretty nice. Did not know physical eSIM is a thing!

This problem sounds so trivial - it makes me wonder why Mikrotik is not fixing it for so long.

Answer for OP to use flood ping:

infabo

But once 7.19 stable released and someone encounters the 0 space issue after upgrading from e.g. 7.16 (this version consumed remarkable less flash), you now can downgrade instead of netinstall your device.

infabo

I think the issue erlinden probably is referring to is random MAC addresses enabled on some clients that causes problems.

But only if you enabled routerboard device-mode feature flag before to change boot method.

At least downgrade should be possible now.

DNS-01 challenge only for the mynetname.net domain.

This is Mikrotik fault, and they know it. They can easily split wifi-qcom-ac package for IPQ4019 only, but they are not willing to do. It's in vain, it's in vain, it's in vain.

Dont know what the 2012 standard covers but otherwise yes. Woooow! Seeking for compliance with standards that are almost 15 years old? That's a little scary, but also a little exciting. fischerdouglas, I am sure you've seen this little detail: (introduced in v7.19beta2); So no, not covering 2012 st...

My guess: supporting H2 blows the ROS bundle out of 16MB flash.

I have same WiFi disconnects issues, even 7.17 and 7.17RC8 not helps at all, and I can’t roll back to 7.14.3 because Factory firmware for my board is 7.15.2. Why Mikrotik engineers can’t solve this mass problem for so long? UDP: I finally downgraded it, but don’t want staying on 7.14.3 forever, bec...

Try setting DTIM = 3. That's a recommended setting years ago to keep Apple Devices connected to Wi-Fi. Not sure if It's actually still the case, but it *could* help with saving battery. And if still problems can you try disabling FT? You are using different SSIDs so it doesnt even work :D Also chec...

I would have created a supout.rif and sent it to Mikrotik support. Too late unfortunately. This could have been very interesting. Maybe you were at 7.8.1 and not 7.18.1?

infabo

Damn, very pity. Now even active window frame is not visible.

Indeed. Why was this focus border removed? Especially as it adds inconsistency. Selecting a e.g. table line still has this blue focus border (on dark theme). But selected/focused window not.

If someone could hear us out... We are in deep trouble with Mikrotik. We bought 12 CCR2216's to replace our aging 1072 fleet (we are a mid sized FTTH/Wireless ISP). @elcano89 you surely bought the 12 CCR2216 units directly from an official MikroTik distributor. Since you have already created a Mikr...

On my cap ac - which I very rarely log in - it went from 407KiB to 472KiB. And from 220KiB to 284KiB on my D53G-5HacD2HnD (this device was netinstalled with keep-configuration a few days ago). This is awesome! I did not even know that history can be cleared. There should be an option: "enable v...

That is both my hope and my assumption.

I would not expect fixing bugs in an existing feature to result in a massive code expansion. If that is the case, I would submit the code for a review. I agree with the statement regarding features. However, why do certain features have to be packed into the base package instead of an extra package?...

infabo

Everything here requires either time or money, not just keeping the flash size small. Please take a look at the changelog and see where the effort goes in recent versions.

The issue happened again today. Despite both devices currently on 7.17.2. I was right watching a video stream when wifi dropped. So I could look at the logs right away. Started at "06:18:50". 2025-03-09 05:33:52 dhcp,info defconf assigned 192.168.0.4 for xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:52 2025-03-09 06:02:...

Sure you can do that. But you won't make friends.

MikroTik could keep the existing DNS as it is but offer an extra DNS package that, when installed, replaces the built-in DNS service. For example, OpenWrt provides lightweight versions of services with limited functionality and size, but if you have enough space, you can install the full version. Mi...

Is this even a thing when no VLANs are in use? I guess not, because the only BPDU packets should be from (implicit) VLAN 1 right?

Cap ac is only connected to the Chateau via ether1.

Even Druvis mentions the SWAP can be used not only for containers: https://youtu.be/wJw50I7STck?t=131

To a certain extent, even the "stable channel" can be considered a form of testing. So, BartoszP, your advice should not be limited to the beta version.

infabo

Was hoping there was something magical that could do the trick, I will have to bite the bullet. Netinstall is the magic bullet. You can select "Keep old configuration" in Netinstall GUI. Netinstall CLI for Linux keeps the configuration by default. So you won't lose anything of your config...

b) Alternatively, downgrade the D53G-5HacD2HnD to v7.13.5, which tolerates the extra BPDU packets and creates a stable RSTP tree despite them. You're pointing out something that I noticed a long time ago but was never able to identify the cause of. Up until version 7.13.5, I had no issues with RSTP...

I wonder if MikroTik has really thought about worst-case scenarios when developing RDS and ROSE. It’s easy to assume everything will work perfectly, but reality is often more complicated. That’s why setting up a NAS on a standard Ubuntu system isn’t simple - there’s a reason why special distribution...

I think mikortik need to rework the documentation to be like netapp or ansible, release a doc per version and redact detailled upgrade paths and différences, lost/add/changes between versions.

Hi guys, You can use safe mode Here . You can undo all changes in one step. I have to say: similar also happened approx. 1 or 2 years back while I was in safe mode.

Dear fellow forum members, Today I had a weird experience. Using my D53G-5HacD2HnD as capsman and a "cap ac" connected/managed by the capsman. cap is connected by eth2. Today the connection to cap was interrupted. Never seen this before. The logs on capsman device was flooded over a longer...

What OP wants is a command to make the CAP's LED blink on demand. Like having 10 caps mounted on the ceiling side by side and you don't want to find out the hard way. Should be doable via "user-led" - if cap ax has this one available. Did not try out, but could be: /system/leds/add leds=us...

Based on the posted configuration, I would say this is a configuration issue.

There is always something to be said about the configuration mechanism. Some people prefer a system where all config is only done in RAM and a "save" is required to commit it to nonvolatile memory. Some systems have a "transaction" mechanism where you can change different parame...

One of the possible causes is that you have mangle mark-routing rules that put packets of a connection in a routing table other than "main", but did not try to exclude those connection from the fasttrack rule. It is written everywhere in the Mikrotik docs, that fasttrack only works on mai...

Anyone an idea? Otherwise I'd file a feature request at Mikrotik support.

Oh, okay - if even Fortinet gets it right, that certainly says something. 😊

Well, "/queue/type/remove [find]" sounds a little bit more destructive. cmasi wants to only delete custom (default=no) queue types.

Yeah, welcome time traveller. wifi-qcom and wifi-qcom-ac have it. Legacy wireless most probably will never get 802.11w.

What type of package manager introduces such a significant storage overhead? OpenWRT has been using "opkg" for years without issues. However, OpenWRT also provides board-specific builds - perhaps this is the key to addressing flash storage limitations on 16MB devices. That being said, I ha...

Also 16MB devices just cannot support wifi-qcom-ac which is almost 1MB larger than old wireless package, not to mention OOM issues... 16MB devices support it. Look at my free-space report to "cap ac". This little device is capable of running 7.18.1 and still has enough free space. But the...
