v3.26 Released

What’s new in 3.26:

*) fixed hotspot problem - deadlock was possible on multi-processor routers;
*) fixed problem - it was possible for RouterBOARD to loose configuration
after upgrade to RouterOS version 3.25;
*) added MetaROUTER support on RB1000;
*) using pptp and eoip tunnels simultaneously could crash router;
*) api - “comment” property was not accessible, fixed;
*) console, api - fixed handling of decimal fractions in time interval values;
*) bonding interfaces could sometimes disappear after reboot;
*) changed mesh protocol to send routing packets to broadcast address;
*) automaticly add ppp client interface when GPRS/3G modem is plugged in;
*) added simple/advanced mode to ppp client in WinBox;
*) added support for Huawei E1550 UMTS/HSDPA modem;
*) added support for Cricket Wireless A600 modem;
*) added support for yet another Globetrotter HSDPA modem;
*) added support for Sony-Ericson MD300 modem;
*) added support for ZTE MF626 & MF627 modems;

First attempt at an upgrade to 3.26 from 3.25 on a x86 box did not succeed.

Copied over the relevant packages, rebooted and she’s still on 3.25.

Would someone please fix the web interface for x86 in the next release? #$^&*!!!

Mine lets me type user/password (and if I get them wrong, it tells me), but if I get them right, I get a ‘failed to connect’ error.

Mine worked OK, but it took about five minutes before the internal interfaces started working (despite the fact that the CLI showed them to be up and running.

That would be the problem. & we like to use the web interface to upgrade. I guess that will be changing for now. Just really dissappointed that a major fault like this wouldn’t be included in the next release. But I understand the NAND problem and it’s priority.

Upgraded from 3.25 on a X86 machine (WRAP board).

A new -and disabled - ppp-out1 interface show up at interface list (I already have a PPP USB2 iface tied to a 3G modem). Original PPP iface config still there and everything still operating after upgrade (yes, there is a new advanced option icon there, APN field, L2 MTU, etc …).

Sort of add a new one by default? :smiley:

BTW: how can I send an AT+Cxxx cmd to force the modem to register at certain service providor (AT+COPS=? gives me back the actual providor. May be AT+COPS=XXX tells the modem to register at operator XXX) and to force the RF mode (GPRS > WCDMA > HSDPA)? What about a “custom AT commands fields/lines” at advanced mode?

Regards

*) automaticly add ppp client interface when GPRS/3G modem is plugged in;

umm, yeah :slight_smile:

Im thinking about upgrading an x86 powerrouter from 3.22 to 3.26. is it safe ?
its the NOC router

Don’t install 3.26!!!


RB433AH

After installing 3.25 get new software id. Because of bonding problem downgrade to 3.20.
Now upgrade from 3.20 to 3.26 and surprize: DEMO MODE!!! Downgrade to 3.25 and still in demo mode.

Downgrade to 3.20 and all O.K.


Now I will try upgrade 3.20 to 3.25, and then from 3.25 to 3.26.


After upgrade to 3.25: Demo mode
Can’t update license key. Mikrotik sad: License key is already up to date

I will send supout file to support.

this is normal that it shows new long SoftID. just go to your account and find where it made the new key. it should be there. i don’t know what you did to make it lose the key though

After I found problem with 3.25, downgrade to 3.20 and paste older license key I found in Files.
I don’t knew I must to save new license key before downgrade. :frowning:

How can I upgrade my OS if I haven’t saved license key for long Software ID.
And why mikrotik say: “License key is already up to date”?
Or if license key is up to date why run in demo mode?

I had to downgrade to 3.13 and then upgrade to 3.26 to make it all work.

License key is intact (not sure what the issue is with that though).

encountering dns cache flushing repeatly.
memory depleted.

using 3.25 before,intel pc router. stable. up & running well for 15 days before upgrade.

i will send you supout immediately.

One of my RB433AH (previously 3.25) died. Also RB532 died (previously 3.25).

As for 433AH - it upgraded, and it boots, but I’m unable to connect with anything. I attached a serial cable, and it just displays:

Mikrotik 3.26
Router Login:

but it doesn’t let me enter anything. It looks like 100% CPU utilization or some sort of hang.
I tried even to use RESET button but it doesn’t make any visible difference.

RB532 I don’t know because it’s some 600 km away. For now I know it stopped pinging after the upgrade. Big thanks. Fuck.

I used to be a first class supporter of Mikrotik, I have several dozens of those devices in my network, and people bought the same number because of my recommendations. But these problems are really starting to piss me off!!!

Regards.

Finally, I don’t know how, I managed to login to this device (I used the reset jumper on the board several times)

This is what I got:

[admin@xxx] > /ip address print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
 #   ADDRESS            NETWORK         BROADCAST       INTERFACE

error - contact MikroTik support and send a supout file (2)
[admin@xxx] > /interface wireless print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running

My question is - how do I send this file without network at all?

Despite using the reset jumper, some part of the config seems intact (WPA-PSK keys are in place), but there are many errors as you may see above. And the device doesn’t work.

I tried also “/system backup load” yesterday’s backup, no luck.

Worst thing I’ve ever encountered with MT.

PLEASE HELP!!!

I have a similar problem with a 433AH. There has as to be a flaw somewhere!

When I read all the negative comments that are posted after a new release I become very concerned and hesitate when it comes to upgrading! I read threw the list of improvements, and fix’s and would like to take advantage of these fix’s but it seems that for every fix, a new issue pop’s up!

It’s becoming a real problem that is leaving me feeling disgusted, and distrustful!

I feel that if MikroTik doesn’t find a satisfactory way to address these issues soon they will find that they will have lost all trust, and their customers will start looking somewhere else!

We are sitting here absolutely afraid to touch anything at this point. Cannot move the biz forward or anything. One group we work with tried to go from 25 to 26 and spent 4 hours recovering the board. We lost a major backhaul last night trying to upgrade 25 to 26. When we got the system on the bench, as the board would just reboot every 10 seconds and we had to replace the OS. The console was complaining about the filesystem being read only. It hadn’t upgraded even! We had to use the serial interface to get it to netboot to an old version of the OS to recover the board! I sure hope that this is ALL that Mikrotik is working on right now as nothing is more important. Conferences/training/new features… All are worth squat when you have a product that no one would touch with a ten foot pole on your hands. This has the potential to wreck careers at a time that people are just looking for reasons to chop heads.

why do all of you just install new software without testing it with your configuration somwhere near you???
and then blame someboby else for that…
i dont think that there is any urgent need to update a router as far as 600km away with a brand new untested release …

8 routers upgraded without problems, RB1000, RB433AH, RB532, x86 among them.

What do you mean by “untested”?? Don’t MT people test it?? Do they release software that don’t boot ON PURPOSE? Come on, hear yourself.

Regards.
