Oh but competitors (in the same price segment) have their problems as well… Fast roaming not working right, multicast filtering an all-or-nothing selection only, unusable “optimization” features that lock out a percentage of devices due to incompatibility, etc.
don’t worry that ros7 will solve it. It will also end hunger in the world.
And here Comes 802.11ax embedded boards like Mikrotik Rb…
shure, but other vendors have a way in the right direction, there HQ and LQ Products everything for the right Place
But we have no time to wait for Future releases to come up to competitors speed, and they are near to release next hardware step
and then the next MikroTik Driver disaster comes.
We have only a hand full p2P MikroTik links left, and if something not working probably, i don´t care anymore, we
just exchange the link with something other and double or tripple the speed.
We are lucky and used much of RF-Elements Dishes, so it is really easy to exchange hardware.
And take a look at this more then 12 month old post:
Wave 1 Missings:
- Output Power Managment
- Spectral Scan
- Channel sizes
Wave 2 Missings:
- no wave 2 features available
What’s about 802.11k, 802.11r and 802.11v, we need that in the EU for every Wireless Network in
Government Places / Meeting Rooms etc
There is so much missing…
At this Moment MikroTik has only one future, selling low cost in mass to world regions, where this features are enough.
Forget v7.
v8 Needs to be rounded on. Use off the shelf drivers, get it out there, give the people what they want.
(I’ll stick to my v6 though as it does almost everything I need).
ROFL Keyko, you made my day.
To be honest I too have been waiting on a few v7 features but have more or less accepted the “it’ll be ready when it’s ready” by just looking at the chagelogs and the sticky’s. Today I decided to check out the forums to see if there’s a hint of release date. But I was shocked by the name calling, folks saying they need this and that and Mikrotik is irresponsable and they should do this and that. W T F guys!?!?!?!?!? You say “mikrotik couldn’t be less transparent” yet they not only have this forum, normis has to take all kinds of crap from you and responds the best way he can a least once a page. Do you guys do this too with Volkswagen or with your government? Do you write to the president too about everything that’s wrong in the world? How did that work out? He replied right away didn’t he?
I find Mikrotik has grown a lot over these past 5 years and while many of you question their management decisions, I still think they’ve been doing well for themselves. Though I agree with @nz_monkey with his “hero car” post that RouterOS is what it’s all built on and taking into account that the CCR is, well, at the core of their and our business can’t be neglected.
Speaking of which, I understand that many of you have to project infrastructure and future hardware acquisitions but the simple fact of life is that you buy gear that covers your needs, not gear that MAY work in the future nor buy a 299 piece of gear and then ask the manufacturer to make it work someway you want it to.
Regarding Mikrotik wireless gear, we have never bought any (not in qunatity anyway) because we always found the competition to be superior. Always tested before placing big orders, never chose brand over functionality.
Finally, a word on marketing. I’ve seen many of you bring up Apple. I find the marketing strategy of Apple to be made by experts… for idiots. They build up hype, they launch products on a stage in front of hundreds of crazed fanatics and then charge a fortune for a product that’s the definition of programmed obsolescence. RouterOS v7 works for me. It comes after 6. Yes it’s been 5 years in the making but so have other thousands of products. And the difference with those that did indeed need a name change is that this one is designed for IT pros. We work with numbers every day and can handle something called v7.12.rc7 instead of “Vista”, “2019” or “skip two numbers because we need to emphasize how much different it is from the one before”.
My opinion of course.
Thanks, I needed a laugh. If you shilled any harder I would’ve fell on to the floor laughing.
“Are we working?”, well, not much else I can give you, maybe this gives some hope
Also, this video is real:
Good to see that the video posted is real.
In the video its mention beta99 3 Apr 2019
Your post shows alpha220 14 Aug 2019
Maybe you are going backwards 
We are waiting and looking forward to testing this new version 
In the video, a special build was used, with a fake version name. This build was made for a MUM special event.
Seems like that indeed 
I certainly hope that folders from @Normis’ screenshot are created in advance and that 7.0alpha219 was empty at the time … which would mean that there are 219 alpha releases to go before we get some public RC 
ros v7 brings improvements in wireless?
Hey, I’m all for smiles and grins but after looking up shill in the dictionary I can honestly say that that wasn’t the intention of my post. Yes, I posted in a “take it or leave it” sorta way but not for their sake; for ours. Mikrotik routers sit at the core of our network but we are not in the ISP businness and we’re still on 100% IPv4 so we don’t have a major grief like you guys do with BGP, etc. We’d be looking elsewhere if it ever came to that, instead of buying CCRs and then whining in a forum. As we did with our wireless gear and switches (none are Mikrotik).
My way of telling people that I don’t like their crap is I don’t buy it. Ok, I’m not perfect, we did buy stuff and have been disappointed at some point but we have never bought anything in bulk, for a mission it couldn’t fulfill. Period.
I don’t speak Russian but I take it that the beta is now available? mt.lv/v7 ?
Yes, only for ARM architecture and only for hap ac^2 and WAPGR LTE/4G/LTE-US testing, to get v7 ready for upcoming 5G products, according to Sergejs. support for remaining boards will gradually come out
it has v6.45.5 feature set and main change is new Linux Kernel atm, feature will gradually come out in time. First they need help with stability testing on those boards
Thank you for the info. Well played MikroTik. There I was a few posts up saying it’ll be v8 that gets released!
Hmmm, I just installed it on my cAP AC and it works as expected as cAP.
b1 works on rb4011.
