Before an upgrade: Remember to make backup/export files before an upgrade and save them on another storage device; Make sure the device will not lose power during upgrade process; Device has enough free storage space for all RouterOS packages to be downloaded. What's new in 7.24.2 (2026-09-03): T…

Do you consider updating Arch Linux dangerous? Come on... :winking_face_with_tongue: Doing all my best.

Not at all. But it is a common saying. :grimacing:

Actually did made a backup (dot-backup) and script prior. My fault I did not download them to local HDD, didn't expect to lose all interfaces including VPS gateway. Basically the only way get to the CHR is to get in using console but a friend was able to run SystemRescue, grabbed the backup. The…

Ok I have no experience with Vultr, we run our CHR instances on Proxmox (migrated from VMware) and we make both daily backups of the VM itself and /export of the settings whenever changes are made. But VM backups on a cloud VPS service usually cost extra.

Hi, I have the same situation with my CCR2116. It got stuck after upgrading to v7 stable (7.14.2).

Upgrade a bevy of devices with no issue CCR2004,capac, crs310, hex original. @merlinthemagic7 Don't rely on magic (or ssh) for remote access. :stuck_out_tongue:

We run a pretty tight ship with only tunnel access to the APIs, but its getting difficult to rely on any of the APIs into RouterOS. We got dropbear SSH sorted with a new build, but first choice is REST and its currently broken not closing old connections and only a reboot can fix.

We have experienced what appears to be the same regression after upgrading two CCR2216 core routers from RouterOS 7.19.3 to 7.24.2. The routing control plane remained operational and the affected routes appeared active with the correct gateways. The routers could ping the affected destinations them…

We have the same issue on 21116 routes on our network ! After upgrading from 7.19.6 to 7.24.2, all /32 routes broke. Ping from gateway routers was normal. After suppressing HW offload, routes started to work again and traffic was established. KladovoNet ISP
