I have Bought a RouterBoard 450G with RouterOs level4 version 3.11 .
I configured Hotspot+Usermanager on it and and everything seemed Ok.
i saw that mikrotik RouterOs 3.25 (Stable Version) was released and i decided to upgrade the routerOs to version 3.25.
unfortunately there are 2 big problems in version 3.25:
1- as u configure Usermanager in version 3.25 the CPU Usage goes up from 50% to above 90% and the hotspot gets DOWN within less than 5 hours and even the hotspot login page will not be available on hotspot users.
1- because of that problem i want to change back to the previous version of mikrotik but unfortunately i cant do this by any way .
as u click on Downgrade button and the routeros restarts , i see that no change was made on routeros and the version 3.25 is still on routerboard.

Restarting system.
What’s new in 3.22:
*) added advanced switch features for RB450G;
So, don’t downgrade just for this alone. A lot of stuff was added for RB450G in later versions, if you want it to work correctly, use a recent version.
I’m sorry that you hate this version, nothing I can do, I guess, but support will be available only if you use the latest version that includes all fixes
Where did you buy a 450G with 3.11?? That OS is almost a year old the 450G was announced in February of this year (released and shipping much after that.) . Are you sure it is a 450G and not just a 450? Also if you look at http://tikdude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/routeros3-release-lifetime-in-2008.png It should tell you alot… I would not run anything before 3.20 at worst case.
if you will email support, they will help you solve the problem. this is the logic that should be followed always. downgrade without notifying support will not get your problem solved, and will bring back problems of older versions. you would be forced to stay on the old version, because support will not know about your problem, and nobody would fix it.
