Upgrade to 6.43.2 current from 6.43.1 current on hAPLite

RouterOS General

I have a few of the hAP lite’s, RouterBOARD 941-2nD, that I have setup in remote locations. I recently upgraded, through Quickset/Check for Updates/Download&Install as I always have, to 6.43.1. However, when trying this for the latest release, 6.43.2, it will download, reboot, and NOT install the upgrade. Comes back online as 6.43.1 and the downloaded file for 6.43.2 is listed under files, it never upgrades. Any idea why, and will this now be the case for future upgrades??

I have another hapLite, RouterBOARD 941-2nD locally that requires Netinstall to upgrade all the time, as I have it loaded with rules and multi WAN setup there is not enough memory to use Winbox and Quickset/Check for Updates/Download&Install. The Netinstall worked fine here locally, but as I say the other remote hapLites I cannot do this without going onto location and removing them, bringing them back to the shop for manual upgrade through Netinstall, then driving them back to return them.

Have been upgrading remotely these hapLites since 6.39.2 series, really want to keep them in service?
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

This is what happened on mine:

oct/05 00:31:36 system,info installed routeros-smips-6.43.2 
oct/05 00:31:36 system,error not enough space for upgrade 
oct/05 00:31:37 system,info router rebooted

and it’s still on 6.42.9, not surprisingly.
I don’t know what the answer is, short of Mikrotik making the package smaller so it fits again, or using Netinstall.
It really is very dull having to deal with stupidity like this because of the penny-pinching 16MB storage.

Thanks for the reply, a search of my logs shows similar to yours, out of memory.
Any suggestions for another Mikrotik around the same price-point and exact amount of features or more, and especially one that I can remote upgrade and not have to use Netinstall and take a drive to do it?

hello guys, i used to have the same problem with that router, in my case my workaround was delete the packages that i dot use from the system and now when i update it just download the updates for the installed packages and i don´t have memory problems since, hope this helps unless you use every portion of the system.
