What is "online format", not clear what you mean about logs

It seems that several different issues are mixed together in one topic, for example:

- AX100/AX200 series clients reconnecting
- "Not responding" (previous versions "SA query timeout") error in non other devices (AX100/AX200 clients)

The code in Winbox3 is so old, that it is impossible to fix a lot of issues in there. It's the biggest reason why Winbox4 exists, so we can start improving it. We did not make Winbox4 just to annoy you with new color schemes.

Isn't it related? I hadn't noticed that, but in any case, the Winbox 4b12 version isn't opening and is generating errors, and according to the changelog it should run on macOS BigSur. It's a shame that they discontinued macOS 11, because in some countries a new MacBook isn't that cheap. you can upg...

Just use NAT and you will have all features of the device, including full use of the rest of the ethernet ports, WIFi etc. LTE passthrough basically makes the device work as a transparent bridge, and passes the connection directly to the selected port (and only that port). Why do you need the passth...

What's new in v4.0beta13: *) implement opened windows list *) implement global menu search *) bump minimal macOS version to 12.0, because 11.0 is EOL and dropped by Qt *) accept button with Enter/Return keys also on Windows and macOS *) fix max u32 value processing on some fields *) fix visual 1px ...

You have two options. Either you configure NAT and use the Chateau as a router, or configure LTE passthrough to Ether1, but that would make your router kind of useless, you could have opted for a cheaper device that does not have routing and wifi built in. https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/ROS/p...

Forum users can't check support tickets, so no reason to post ticket numbers here

yes, and in RouterOS you can use firewall to only allow connections from Letsencrypt, in either case, some manual protection has to be set up

This is exactly the same on all servers that support LetsEncrypt.

Don't understand why v4 should be so different in layout, compared to v3? For me, ver 3 is just the best. The overview is completely gone in v4, in my opinion.

No reason to raise old topics from the dead.
It is not possible to remove "features" one by one, most of them rely on eachother, like you can see in the second post in the topic. There is no single package to delete. Each program does a multitude of things.

How do i import saved session to new winbox4

Use the menu item called "import" on the right side.

If you have direct access to your router (it has public IP) then one connection is enough, but if your device is behind NAT or has non public IP, the connection will go over our MikroTIk Relay service, this is what the other config is for.

device mode with partitions=no only denies creating new partitions, you can still switch partitions like you used to do

You can't just set up one subdomain in cloudflare and keep the rest in another DNS server,
the NS servers have to be set to cloudflare, all mikrotik.com DNS will be managed through there.

VadiKO you can also try to use this tool to install macOS 11 on an older mac: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

you can install RouterOS on a virtual machine via the CHR package, even on ARM64 AMPERE devices. There sometimes you need some intel drivers, this package is for that.

Some call it space-wasting, others call it easier readability because text ist not squished together. This is an option, comments have like 4 places you can choose from. Click on the comment header to switch between them, also in the side menu there is a switch.

nz_monkey, did you try the mode where comment is in a column? on bigger monitors that saves a lot of vertical space

If you mean about tree view, it will apply to virtual interfaces, sub-queues and such.

P.S: we have listened to the community and have walked back the device mode defaults.

blingblouw2 you can just enable bandwidth test. ask the user to push the button to confirm. it's a one time operation, you don't have to do it every time.

You are completely right. It should be enough with read, to just read. and should be enough with write, to upgrade. But there are deep running issues in the policy system everywhere, we have to re-make the whole thing.

satboxbg
please make a separate topic. we only discuss changes between latest and previous beta in this topic.

Sorry about the specs, yes, there were some mistakes, we will / have corrected them. In the PDF we always try to include more information, so I suggest always opening those files too.

Still we need to see that config, as who knows what "factory config" means. Normally using only cables you should get near gigabit.

Please keep topic to release notes! You are free to make a new topic and continue offtopic in there, but this topic must not be messed up by other discussions except changes in the version.

As in the name, it's a "wall acces point (wap)", so it is designed to be used against a surface. While the radiation pattern is roughly spherical, the best antenna gain is to the front.

This will most likely be illegal in your country and you could get into trouble. The actual output power is limited by the "Country" you have set in wireless settings.

The website specifications had a copy paste error in the antenna specs.

Patrick, that is not helpful. iOS18 works fine with MikroTik wifi, no need to give such generic search links. There could be all kinds of issues specific to RADIUS auth.

Gustavo, please post more of your setup and config.

We have to say this every time, but, we have many developers, each team works on different things.

Why are you arguing? The link says it clearly:

IEEE Std 802.11be™-2024 was approved on September 26, 2024. Publication expected soon.

No, workspace has no relation to the IP of the specific router. Workspace is just the desired layout of windows. You should be making the workspaces per "usage type", not per each device.

Well nearly all MikroTik APs support passive PoE input, so it's not an issue. If you use another brand, you might need an additional PoE switch then.

I do understand these theoretical situations. There are several types of posts here: - People who want to know what exactly will happen, and who have not yet read the previous posts. I try to answer them. - People who have theoretical "what if ..." concerns for highly improbable scenarios....

What will you be using traffic gen for, in this remote router? There is no need for theoretic, like I said

Just some clarification, all devices with LTE and WiFI come with default password for at least a year, I think. I have to check for up to date info. I think the last remaining devices with no password are CCR series.

The article does not go into much detail, but they are referring to the same devices that were compromised up until the year 2018, and have not been patched. If you are running RouterOS v7, your device should be safe, but to be 100% sure, you can inspect your configuration for any unknown rules or s...

Those features existed previously and if you used them, they are still working. Only new configuration requires approval by button press, for remotely connected user, to protect against remote intruder.

You can set this option today in 7.16, and it will remain after upgrade. Existing config is not affected by device mode limitations. This won't work with the options that did not exist before 7.17. Maybe, release a version where partition, downgrade and bootloader are known, but have no effect and ...

andriys let me repeat the question. you have full access to the router. what could be so f***ed up that you can't fix it from the fully working command line, but you can type "partition activate" command?

How do you suggest the router will determine which port has internet access, and then disable it? You can't disable all interfaces.

To be honest, the most surprising thing coming from this topic is that people use partitions, even though most of our devices don't have enough space for that. This feedback will help us. What would be much better if you could describe actual use cases, like @bmann has done, instead of "nobody ...

It starts to look like some at Mikrotik are not exactly familiar with the concept of managing devices in inaccessible locations or located in other country (or even continent)....

Please describe your specific use case, so we can see how to improve it. Not theory, real use.

I already explained, that if you have access to this device and are able to issue commands, you can also fix your config in other ways, not just by partition change. And if a script can do things in your router, so could an attacker. Those people that have thousands of routers that all use partition...

Rough timeline for v7.16 beta1 to v7.16 release was from June 5th to September 24th. Beta period can be considered grace period.

above quoted line from the manual

> "you can use the "save config" button to copy it over to other partitions.""

this can be done without any device mode changes, limitation only is applied to manual re-booting to other partition, if main one is still working

pe1chl, why is this so hard to understand? your complaint is about routerboot settings, that you can't switch to "try-ethernet-once-then-nand". You can, switch now and upgrade later. about partitions, their purpose is to reboot into backup, when device fails to boot. this works without any...

that is the exception. i'm asking why he is doing that every time after upgrade.
if your tunnel is down, you can't switch partitons anyway. you need access for that.

This thread highlights some very interesting workflows we never even imagined https://xkcd.com/1172/ Why do you switch the partition after upgrade? Can you not simply create a second partition, or update it, if upgrade is successful? And if not successful, boot from the backup? That will not require...

dave3, could you include more info, what window manager are you using, OS version etc. and send a video to support?

Did you read the thread? The person answers the same thing as I answered now. You can't do it. RouterOS has no sed utility. You can only overwrite the whole file with new content. All of it.

Unable to repeat the issue, sorted filter rules by interface, went to NAT, went back to filter, rules still sorted by interface. Maybe something specific in your case, email some screenshots to support please

There is no way to do it in the router. You need a utility like "sed".

You can set this option today in 7.16, and it will remain after upgrade. Existing config is not affected by device mode limitations. /system/device-mode/update partition=yes expected end of command (line 1 column 28) you cannot. 7.16 does not know about device-mode "partition". Are you se...

The issue with downgrade is that any attack script can immediatelly issue downgrade command to some version with known security issue and take over the device.

The issue with downgrade is that any attack script can immediatelly issue downgrade command to some version with known security issue and take over the device. See viewtopic.php?p=1101208 as an example of how smart these scripts are.

What is your proposal, to verify ownership of a device in a way, that a remote attacker can't do?

Let me remind you, that if your device has some need to be routinely switched between partitions all the time, send somebody to unplug it from power ONCE in it's lifetime, to enable device mode setting for this.

ormandj
"It seems like the upgrade should have an option to leave all pre7.17 devices in the same state they were post upgrade"
That's exactly as it is. I already explained it. Your running config is not affected.

Let me ask again, why would you simultaneously deploy a new version on these thousands of inaccessible devices, without testing it first?
Second, if you are able to connect and issue a system downgrade command, it means the device still works, no?

Some replies and remarks: Old configuration is not touched. If you had hotspot, it keeps working etc. Containers always required device mode setting, so you already must have had enabled it, if you had them before. FezzFest: Downgrade is still offered via switching of release channels. Don't upgrade...

Infabo: One more trick, if you have upgraded an inaccessible device and URGENTLY need to downgrade, because beta has broken something for you, you can change upgrade channel and "upgrade" down to a stable version. This will only work until the other channels have older versions before devi...

Yes ^

Good point, Amm0

There is no list, all devices running RouterOS still can be upgraded to v7.17 The limitation, like mkx explained above, is that some very very old devices will not work well . For example devices with SMIPS architecture have small amount of RAM, you might be able to use it with only the system packa...

DEVICE MODE: all configuration you had running before changing device mode limitations will remain working. Only new config will be denied, if this particular mode setting denies it.

Sorry about that, my mistake, this whole thread has turned into "questions about device mode"

If your containers stopped working after upgrade to 7.17, it might not be related to device mode at all.

I have posted further updates to the manual, so all your Device mode questions should be answered in there .

Containers ALWAYS had device-mode requirement, since day one. Maybe you forgot you set it. So nothing changes if you had a running container.

We have added to the manual some more info about device mode, including that it will reboot in any case. The console message will also be amended in future betas. But it's still not clear what I need to do to make sure I can still use all features (including traffic-gen, container, partitions, boot...

No, we do not plan to implement annual licensing or any other licensing changes.

Don't paste and run scripts that you "found on the internet", it is dangerous. Start by pasting only the script in the console. Does it work there? It won't and you will see why. you have copied all kinds of random characters and linebreaks (\n), the script has to look something like this:...

This is documented.
CHR licenses are stored in the cloud, the virtual router does not know, whether you have moved or revoked this license. This is why at "deadline" date, it will check status. If license still valid, it will again extend this date to the next check date.

Yes, first change to Channel "Upgrade" and upgrade to that 7.12 version, after that, newer versions will become available.

Left / right two finger scrolling (swiping) on Macbook Air track pad does not scroll the wide windows left and right. You have to move the mouse down to the bottom of the window and drag the slider left / right.

this bug is already known and reported multiple times in this thread

Code: Select all
*) return tab based interface, while keeping benefits of dropdowns
This is only half done. Most people want these WebFig style dropdowns as tabs too.

most people?

P.S: why is your winbox so small?

Infabo, do you ever try something, before complaining? There is an option to hide tabs!

What's new in v4.0beta6:

*) minor UI improvements

What's new in v4.0beta5:

*) return tab based interace, while keeping benefits of dropdowns
*) move action buttons into table toolbar
*) change style for active sub window
*) fix macOS self-update on some systems
*) stability improvements

No, it's not a good summary, because the very first post in this topic already clearly said, that it is a known issue, that all keyboard shortcuts are turned off.
Do not post again and again the same thing, that is already explained.

Behaviour should adhere to system settings. I don't use Mac, but on Windows and Linux I prefer not to have apps groupped ... and there's system-wide setting for that both in Windows and KDE (which is what I use on Linux if I can choose). In normal apps, there's a text pop-up tab when one hovers mou...

Thank you for the suggestion, Amm0. Added to wishlist.

Config files don't have names, and are not stored in files. It's all just running config. When you import something from an RSC file, it just reads the file and executes commands that are within. There is no way to tell which config file you imported. But if you imported the file in the command line...

I know, but that is a workaround for now. Groups will return.

Need the group feature back badly. This is a show stopper for us as we sort clients that way.

Yes, you can do that. Maybe the router will be even a little faster, as the LCD takes up some system resources.

We have fixed the macOS self-update issue, but of course, you will only be able to enjoy it after the next release. The fix will still have to be installed manually.

Hm, but I assume that many professionals have Winbox running without closing for days or even weeks. They won't get notified And that is perfectly OK, IMO, if I have many routers connected, as I often do, I don't want to have to reconnect to all of them just because there is a new update. Check on ...

Like it is mentioned in known isssues list, in certain Windows computers, there is a known issue that winbox feels slow and sluggish. It will be addressed.

It's interesting that your error says "Bad volume: /Volumes/WinBox"
Can you check how the DMG has mounted in your system with "ls /Volumes " ?

maisondasilva we have many different type of products, we do not plan to aim for consistency here. There are so many possible menu combinations, that it will just overwhelm the user with useless options that his device does not have.

Kanzler are there any other disk images or volumes mounted when you do the update?
Check finder side menu

Kanzler, is your user account in macOS with full administrative rights?
Open the Console app from /Applications/Utilities, and see if there is any errors, when trying to upgrade. You can delete the new app, downwload an older one, and try the upgrade again.

How frequently does Winbox check for updates? No notification until now.
So basically 24h since release of beta4. My running Winbox instance still does not show update notification on Linux client.

On launch! Relaunch it.

If DMG installer "did not offer" it just means it's a Beta and trusts that user knows how to install apps. Sorry. We will improve in future.

But well Infabo is not the only one, there is at least one other person with a similar issue. We are investigating (as seen in my known issue list)

I have Winbox 4 beta3 installed on my Macbook running Big Sur. I installed the Winbox app on my desktop (from DMG dragged to desktop). I opened Winbox beta3. I see the "Update available" info on right top of window. Infabo, the macOS Apps should be located in the Applications directory, n...

But you can do that - create new workspaces and name them with meaningful names. You can have 10 or 20, doesn't matter. Select the needed one when connecting, or even change to another one while connected.

Edit: OK so you want winbox to remember which workspace you used last

On another note, I would like to be able to save devices together with a workspace like it used to be with sessions in v3. So when connecting to a saved device, it would open the saved workspace automatically. Using <own> for this is not a solution. Why is not <own> the solution? It is exactly the ...

Please stop this nonsense.
This forum has new messages on the bottom.
Same with chats etc.

Have you seen the RouterOS Log window? Same. New entries at the bottom.

new entries are added to the bottom

Saduff, we managed to repeat the issue. It does not crash the router, but there is high load and a delay, when the Workspace tries to load certain non-existing switch related windows. We are fixing it.

Edit: Although it turns out, this is a RouterOS bug, not winbox. I also added it to the list.
