Issues with Rb1100 & x86 & mikrotik V5.26

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi,

I have issues with both my Rb1100 & x86 if I install any any version more newer than 5.22 I would not be able to get the web-proxy up and running! I have on both a level 6 license each running and am really wondering what could be the problem!

In fact I am trying to add an external squid to my network and each and every time I do that and now input the requisite CLI commands my Mikrotik now goes blind so to speak! If I ping in the terminal www.Google.com I have a good response but what happens is that the 2nd interface that I used as the hotspot interface now refuses to pass traffic from the first interface
through to it!

I don’t know if this means I should maybe try and look for a more ancient version of the routeros for both the x86 & rb1100 maybe the v4.17 perhaps?

My question here is that Would my license still be valid there? And also the CLI commands I want to use would they work in that version?

Thanks.

I have had similar problems from the top end of the 5.x series and the lower end of the 6.x series. I have tried 6.6 on a handful of RouterBoard types now and have been successful with it. You might try upgrading to 6.6 and see if that is more to your liking.

I down graded and it was valid.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice but i tried the 6.6 and it just didnt work! it was hanging each time asked for a reboot and when i plugged an ethernet cable in it was always failing!

I now went into my archiives and found some earlier versions which i would try.
