A quick question!
I see that the CHR fix for P1 license and error in Queue is not part of this release. Is there a plan when this fix, which is in RC, will be added to stable release?
i was going to put a post up today saying i was having this strange issue where our CHR is being used for VPN and its being capped at 10MB yet i have a P1 licence?
thank god its not just me having this issue!
About CHR issue. As you can see this 6.38.3 version was made on February 7th. Fix for this CHR issue was not ready back then. It will be included in next current/bugfix public release.
I know all that I’m more interested on a time frame for next release? If you don’t know I’m fine with that just want to know If i should plan to use RC, which I want to avoid, or wait for next release if quick.
We can not in any way name dates when next release will be available. We can not predict how development process will go, but as you can see in archive - usually it is around 1 month between releases: https://mikrotik.com/download/archive
The station roaming setting controls how the Mikrotik device, when connecting to another wireless station, will roam - for example, as weather changes, or if the device moves. It has no relation to how devices that connect to the Mikrotik device choose to roam.
LCD interfaces is broken, it does not switch between interfaces. In my case, LCD shows only pppoe-wan, other interfaces are not shown. What is the timeout then?
