I updated my mikrotik RB941-2nD to version 7.17.2 and now it won’t let me upload files. I’ve already tried creating a new user, configuring the cloud and installing a beta version and it’s still the same. Can you help me with this problem? I want to install the wifi but it won’t let me.
RB941-2nD is quite limited in resources for running ROS7.
It’s not even recommended to run ROS7 on it since it doesn’t have 64Mb RAM (recommended minimum).
And you need wireless package (legacy wifi drivers), not wifi (wave2 drivers, can’t be used on this device).
A couple of options:
1- remove wireless, upgrade ROS base package, then add wireless package for the new version
2- netinstall that device using ROS package and wireless package at once
3- stay on current ROS version
4- downgrade to latest ROS6 and stay there. Again, this device is not really meant to be running ROS7. It is an option , if you like it or not.
The problem is that it doesn’t let me change the version.
Option 2
netinstall
You tried that ?
Check under System → Users whether any account unknown to you are listed. Also check the Groups table to see if there is any group other than the three full / read / write. If the answer is positive, then your router might have been hacked. One of the common hacks add a new user group with full right, add a new user to that group, then drop the privileges of the “full” group (that your account belongs to). If that’s the case, you’ll need netinstall.
Base problem is and remains that device is too light for ROS7 hence not enough space.
Only way out = netinstall. Like it or not.
Ah I just saw that the flash directory is missing. Normally on devices with just 16MiB storage like this one, the internal storage is mounted under flash, and everything outside that folder is a RAM disk. Which means upgrade packages and everything you upload outside of flash should be on that RAM disk. But the flash folder is missing, which means that mechanism is somehow not working as intended, and the root folder is the flash. Maybe it’s because even the RAM is too small?
This mechanism is only available on devices with 64MB RAM or more. Which hAP lite doesn’t have.
