+1 for internal PSU or second DC-jack on PCB like in RB850Gx2
RB2011 / RM3011 (RM) have place for the IEC-socket, but didn’t have second dc-jack.

Any news about the “Switch” menu in Winbox?
Did not even appear in the latest 6.34rc version.
Moreover, there is no MASTER-PORT and BANDWIDTH (RX/TX) drop-down controls in “interfaces” settings (Winbox).
But changing master-port is still available in Webfig or terminal.
My RB3011 is missing same stuff…really Mikrotik? Can we down grade to 6.33.2, should we?
different consumers - different opinions.
you love external PSU’s in you routers ? i HATE them?
same about monitors, notebooks and number of other relevant gear.
its simply not practical or safe even in SOHO environment. yes its bit “messier” and bulkier, less “sexy-looking”, but its more Practical thing. and usually - cheaper and more reliable solution, btw.
@Zorro MikroTik gives a very usable alternative, POE in. I have to admit that I started to like thoose much more than either built-in or external PSU. Especially in rack applications. Anyone who teared down rack because of faulty PSU (in switch for example) exactly knows what I mean ![]()

It is a good hardware, but the external small power adapter, it’s a shame.
All normal rack mount (ex. tplink, etc.) gigabit switch has internal PSU, and normal pc power cable.
Even this is a router and not a small switch.
I see on the right side of the 3011 case is a place for power plug, I hope the new production batch will have internal PSU.
definitively
it never rains to everyone’s taste ![]()
external power supply are quickly field replaceable without opening the device
point for external psu ![]()
Thank you MT for WinBox 3.1 ![]()
Hello, I didn’t be able to repartition my RB3011 with ROS 6.33.5, could you help me? Is this supported function for arm processor? Thank you.
The new 6.35 release still hasn’t addressed the lack of repartitioning functionality on the RB3011; switch menu is visible in Webfig but not in Winbox, and the master port field is still missing for Ethernet interfaces when using Winbox.

Friday’s release of ROS 6.34 did not solve issue with system time dramatic slow. The only workaround is to switch NTP client off/on periodically
My RB3011 reboots within 30 seconds after trying to shutdown it from Winbox. Anyone who has RB3011, please report do you have such issue or not.
I bet it will require RouterBOOT update and I think it’s not high-priority task since almost noone shutdowns routers ![]()
I’m truly interested in your use-case for that.
It was already officially stated that all routerboards are safe to be cut off from the power. Making shutdown leads routerboards to the state in which they cannot be switched on in other way than power recycling. Therefore shut down has sense only for pc or virtualized versions of ros.

Yes, all RouterBOARDs will do this, it is not a bug per-se, it is more something like unsupported feature. Device needs to be disconnected from power to turn off completely. If you don’t unplug it, it will start again. Shutdown command is not required, it is quite safe to just unplug it.
Isn’t a shutdown command only useful while running with external storage for e.g. proxy? Cutting power may damage filesystem on it since it’s r/w.
Before today I always thought that I should and I must shutdown Mikrotik router before unplug power supply (PS).
Where can I read that unplugging power source is quite safe for Mikrotik if it does not write on external disk drive?
If it is safe why after such unplugging we have RED WARNINGS in log?
What happens with Mikrotik’s internal store while unplugging PS in moment of writing log’s entry?
Filesystems designed for flash & routers are simple and resistant. If you cut the power in the middle of write you’ll lose last write (that’s how journaling filesystem works). Giving the fact that these filesystem are WAY simpler than e.g. ext4 you can safely unplug the power. Also applications are written in a way to deal with such situations.
I think the only exception is external harddrive - if you have some full fledged filesystem & running advanced web proxy you generally be better if you unmount filesystem or remount it r/o before unplugging.
I seen information about “cutting the cord” being safe for ROS somewhere in wiki. Also @normis, who works in MT, said that many times ![]()
Red warning in MT log serve different purpose. It may be misleading for beginners, but in fact you should know MT is generally professional network equipment. In home we often don’t care if router rebooted in the middle of the night - in HA environments it’s very important information (having router lose connection for few seconds is not an emergency, but sudden reboot may be sign for something bad).
So in summary these log entries are to inform about sudden reboots.
Btw. I think about auto boot after 30s after shutdown as a safety feature in fact. If you accidentally shutdown AP with battery backup on high mast you’ll be thanking for it (and yes, I’m talking from my own experience
).
