How to upgrade from 6.49.2 to 7.1

RouterOS RouterOS beta
1

I have MikroTik RB4011iGS+RM router.
7.1 does not show when I check for updates in PACKAGE LIST in WinBox.
How do I upgrade from 6.49.2 to 7.1?

Any update is working when you download package, upload to ruter and restart. I guess 7.1 will do same, but I don’t know how license will work, you should specify which hardware and which initial version was for someone who may help then

First I would check if version is ok on system:

] > system/check-installation
  status: installation is ok

and routerboard:

 system/routerboard/print
       routerboard: yes
             model: XXXX
          revision: YYY
     serial-number: BBBBBB
     firmware-type: CCCCCC
  factory-firmware: 6.47.10
  current-firmware: 6.49.2
  upgrade-firmware: 6.49.2

Current firmware and upgrade firmware should be in the same version and also the same version of your routeros

Then you have to say that you want to change from 6 channel to 7:

 > system package update set channel=upgrade

and usuall upgrade:

 >] > system package update check-for-updates
            channel: upgrade
  installed-version: 6.49.2
     latest-version: 7.1.1
             status: New version is available
] > system package update download
] > system reboot

and after reboot check again the installation and upgrade the firmware.

Choose channel to “upgrade” to switch from 6.xx tree to 7.xx and after that you’ll see new long-term, stable, testing trees. Choose stable or long-term and go. Don’t forget to create binary backup before any upgrade to be able to fully recover if anything would go wrong.

Hello,

Starting version was 6.49.2 cause is the OP request.
If you have lower version I would first do upgrades following near releases First long-term channel if needed, then stable and then upgrade from 6 to 7.
In all upgrade steps check upgrade status and firmware upgrade.
