Upgrading RB532

I’ve inherited about a dozen RB532 with 3 ethernet ports and some with the six port daughterboard.

On the routers I checked so far the licensing date as long expired. I’ve been told I can get to 3.22 without paying additional licensing. Since MT changed licensing in the 2.9.x releases. Is this true?

If it is how can I do it?

Most/All of these routers are 2.9.x.


Thanks for any help

If they are 2.9, you can use Netinstall to upgrade them to v3. See this tutorial:

I successfully upgraded to 2.9.51 then 3.22 on one RB532

However on another RB532 the netinstall process gets to status Ready. I click Install, “Installing” briefly shows then the Status goes back to Ready. Rinse and repeat.

The Bootloader on this one is version 1.9.

Strange..closed NetInstall and tried again…worked.
