What is the best method to update this? Any gotcha’s I should be looking out for? I will snapshot it before updating it, just looking for someone with past experience, this will be the first of many updates for me on mikrotik PC/x86.
This machine that I will be updating is running a core 2 duo 2.8Ghz and 4GB ram. I also have ESXi running on it (therefore the snapshot prior to updating).
Of note this is also running a 500+ user hotspot.
export config to file (NOT backup), then update. easy!
I had one running 3.30 for quite some time, needed some support for Intel cards, updated to 4.17 and ran it for a little while, no problems, updated to 5.11, ran for about 6 hours then reboot, about another hour, reboot.
Downgraded to 5.8 got better, down to 5.7 and got a little better still.
Contacted support, they said there are issues with multicore systems and v5. Best bet is either to downgrade to 4.17 or wait for v6.
I think he said it was an issue with simple queues and IRQ management in multicore systems.
On 4.17 I cannot get the uPnP to work correctly to stop the strict NAT setting on XBOX’s.
I cannot find a work aroud except that supposedly its fixed in newer versions. I do not use simple queues so if that is the only issue then I may give it a go.
I disabled simple queues and the router still randomly hangs.
We have to get another fiber converter and then we’re rolling back to 4.17.
