(factory only release)
To upgrade, click “Check for updates” at /system package in your RouterOS configuration interface, or head to our download page: http://www.mikrotik.com/download
If you experience version related issues, then please send supout file from your router to support@mikrotik.com. File must be generated while router is not working as suspected or after some problem has appeared on device
Please keep this forum topic strictly related to this concrete RouterOS release.
x86 upgrade will take a little bit longer and show following script error in log file, while Mikrotik devices not:
DefConf Gen: Unable to find ethernet interfaces (timeout 30sec)
What is the purpose of writing this in all version-specific topics? This is clearly not a regression since the previous version, so please stop.
Have you written to support, by the way? In case you have, did they acknowledge this as a bug (likely specific to your configuration) and not a configuration problem?
When updating from 6.43.2 to 6.43.4 one of my hAP ac2 logged this message (similar to message in this post after update to 6.43.4):
oct/19 00:10:46 script,warning DefConf gen: Unable to find wireless interface(s)
However all the configuration seems to be intact and this message is NOT logged on subsequent reboots.
I noticed same when updating RBD52G (hAP ac^2) from 6.42.3 to 6.42.5. Issue was reported to support in Ticket#2018062922002154. According to them, “The issue is caused by Graphing and Virtual Wireless interfaces which causes an interface loading delay when the router is booting up.”
In my case, it was also originally fine - no consequences. But after few restart my hAP lost wlan interfaces - it was not disabled, it simply did not appear at all. I found that if I delete graphing interface rules, wlan interfaces instantly appear.
My RB912R-2nD-kit refuses to upgrade. After downloading and rebooting, 6.43.2 ist still my OS.
Nothing in the logs.
I’m currently not at the same location to do a netinstall…
I updated my 3xHAP AC units everything seems fine but a couple of iPhone XS units that still have issues
There seems to be a DNS query rate limit so after a while the phones are not sending queries anymore(Apple fault?)
I’m open to ideas about this issue
