If you experience version related issues, then please send supout file from your router to support@mikrotik.com. The file must be generated while a router is not working as suspected or after some problem has appeared on the device

Please keep this forum topic strictly related to this particular RouterOS release.

Any critical security fixes behind all this "improved stability"?

As of now, there is no formal statement regarding CVE-2026-16347 or CVE-2026-67278 at https://mikrotik.com/supportsec.

The only entry there is the post from September 3, 2026, which lists CVE-2026-67277, CVE-2026-86060, and CVE-2026-67276.

That depends how you define "security fixes". Unauthenticated remote code execution? Likely no. Attacker controlled heap overwrite? Probably all of them, since MikroTik doesn't consider this class to be security vulnerability :smiley:

Has anyone run L3HW on a CRS812 with 7.24.3?

On our CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ (98DX7335) routed traffic was offloaded on 7.23.3.
On 7.24.1 and 7.24.2, with the same config, it is not offloaded at all -
everything is routed by the CPU, while l3-hw-offloading still reads yes.
Toggling it, levelling the firmware and rebooting, disabling the VRF and the
VXLAN bridge port changed nothing.

This is SUP-222890, opened on 3 September with supouts from the broken 7.24.2
and the working 7.23.3 state. Still waiting for a reply.

I see no l3hw entries in the 7.24.3 changelog - is this a known regression,
and does 7.24.3 touch it? I would rather not upgrade a production border
router to find out.

Updated crs310, rb5009upr, 3x cap ax (went without any issues, however crs310 still scary long reboot times between updating routeros packages)

[has been resolved]

MikroTik hAP ax² upgrade went smoothly. Cloudflare DoH is working perfectly with built-in certificates. We cleared out the manually imported ones. Thank you

How much longer? You broke basic netinstall in 7.24.3 again — another "improve stability" that ends up as a brick and an endless bootp loop

Description:
How many times are you going to step on the exact same rake with regressions? Year after year it’s the same story: first, you spend months fighting bugs in IPsec/IKEv2, proving the obvious with proofs, and now you break the one thing without which a device can't even be recovered — basic netinstall.

In the exact same Live CD environment:
Version 7.24.2 works fine.
Version 7.24.3 just drops into an endless loop with non-stop bootp messages in the terminal.

The changelog is silent as usual, except for the default "improve stability" cop-outs everywhere. If you manage to break basic functionality out of the blue, it's no wonder such a mess is going on with more complex features.

Command where everything crashes:

/system routerboard settings set boot-device=try-ethernet-once-then-nand

and then

./netinstall-cli -e -v -a 192.168.88.3 routeros-7.24.3-arm64.npk user-manager-7.24.3-arm64.npk wifi-qcom-7.24.3-arm64.npk

Fix your netinstall-cli already and start properly testing releases before pushing them out, instead of making users spell out bugs from scratch every single time.

Control links (in case you actually decide to check it yourselves):

https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/7.24.3/netinstall-7.24.3.tar.gz

I'm not filing a bug report. Go ahead and fix your reputation yourselves.

@EdPa @sergejs

IPsec has successfully been migrated to OpenBSD (after the bugs SUP-161182, SUP-161267, SUP-206711, SUP-20760 — and these are just some of them).

Last time you already broke netinstall-cli in SUP-211929 (7.22rc3 netinstall-cli seems like the '-e' switch is being ignored).

All that's left is to switch the vendor for Wi-Fi and forget you as a vendor forever.

I might reedit this later but, so far so good... issue is resolved.

As per others' comments above, really want MikroTik to disclose more details.

Upgraded three RB951Ui-2HnD from 7.24.2 stable to this 7.24.3 stable, along with an E50UG, and so far seems to have gone ok.

Upgraded EC25-EU&KNe from 7.24.2 to 7.24.3. Upgrade broke lte. It said it needs a firmware upgrade. firmware upgrade and reboot doesn't solve, the same error stayed.
Had to downgrade to 7.24.2, run firmware upgrade again and reboot.

Hmm, now 7.24.2 is back in stable? What's the deal there?

All of my 8 devices except 2 updated to 7.24.3 via scheduled ansible script at night. I can see for these 2 devices from script log that "system is up to date" and manually system->packages also reports 7.24.2 as latest. Was the update pulled or do update servers have an issue?

It's the same for all channels. I guess the releases have been pulled.

same here, latest stable and long-term are gone from package manager

The download page on the website still lists the newer versions.

Warning — LTE interface stops working after upgrade to 7.23.6, 7.24.3

Do not upgrade the following devices to the latest released versions 7.23.6, 7.24.3. Doing so will leave the LTE interface non-functional:

  • RBSXTLTE3-7
  • EC25-EU&KNe
  • EG25-G&KNe
  • EC25-EU&SXTsq
  • EG25-G&SXTsq

For more information see:

Ok but is it safe to upgrade devices (or keep them upgraded) other than those?
