Hi,
I’m testing RouterOS 7.23rc1 on a hAP ax3 and ran into a couple of issues with a USB Ethernet adapter.
Setup:
-
Device: hAP ax3
-
RouterOS: 7.23rc1
-
USB NIC: D-Link DUB-E250 (USB 3.0)
-
Interface: ether6 (USB)
Issue 1 – Missing link parameters
On the USB interface (ether6):
-
Rate is empty
-
Full Duplex is empty
-
Auto Negotiation shows "incomplete"
The interface does not report link characteristics at all, even when connected.
Issue 2 – Wrong link state behavior
I connected:
- ether1 (2.5Gbps port) ↔ ether6 (USB adapter)
When I disable ether6, I would expect ether1 to lose link.
However:
- ether1 still shows "running" with "link ok"
This suggests link state is not properly propagated or detected when using the USB Ethernet driver.
Additional info
-
USB device is correctly detected under
/system resource usb -
No relevant errors in logs
-
Issue is reproducible
If needed, I can provide supout.rif or run additional tests.
Has anyone else seen similar behavior with USB NICs on RouterOS 7.23rc1?
