Please keep this forum topic strictly related to this particular RouterOS release.
@emils, If I am happy with 6.46.2 is there any need to change/update for a plain vanilla setup (ie there are no security fixes in this new version and thus not mandatory??)??
MT wants you to believe that published change log is full story. Hence if change log doesn’t mention any of your itches you’re not obliged to upgrade your ROS devices.
@Zacharias Thank you so so much for the really constructive input. But maybe some more details about what the actual issue was. Were all types of host impacted(Windows,Linux,Android,iOS) or only certain hosts or browsers maybe? I’m trying to understand if this is an issue which I may be seeing somewhere in a production environment and don’t want to deploy and upgrade saying it will fix issue unless I have more details.
markmcn, Zacharias - On devices with low resources (for example, SMIPS) it was possible that Hotspot login page does not appear properly anav - As always, if you do not see changes in changelog that you require, then there is no need for an upgrade EgidijusL, td32 - You will not ever be able to determine the cause of the reboot in the forum. If your router is rebooting by itself, then contact support@mikrotik.com right away and provide supout file. Forum posts regarding a crash due to NTP service is a random guess without any reason. Only MikroTik staff can determine precise cause of the problem and if it is caused by the software, then we want to fix this problem as soon as possible. If you even manage to workaround a problem based on other user experience, then the issue is still there and others suffer from it. All bug reports are very welcome
When trying to update my RB3011, I get “kernel failure in previous boot” in log, and it didn’t update.
Same thing happened when going from 6.46.1 to 6.46.2. Eventually succeeded in update but it took some tries.
And this never happened before.
I did upgrade a bunch of devices without major issues: hAP AC2 (Qty 2), hEX S (Qty 4), CRS312 (Qty 1), RB2011 (Qty 1), CRS326 (Qty 1).
Related to the hAP AC2 I got a very weird issue. The 2 units that I manage both did the upgrade without any issues and reported no issues at all. One of them 2 days later reported zero Wi-Fi Clients. Checking Winbox I noticed on Wireless Association that clients were trying to connect associating at 1 Mbps and after few seconds gets disconnected. None of the Wi-Fi clients were able to get IP connectivity.
I did rollback that hAP AC2 to the version 6.46.2 and the problem persisted. I did check online on several founds related with this specific issue (only is that there are a lot of complains of poor performance on Wi-Fi on this unit.
I did try to put the long term version ( ver 6.45.8 ) and after I rebooted the router to downgrade it never came back.
Aside that I need to get onsite and check what’s going on (if it’s hang or simple is brick it) what else can I do to: (1) Avoid this problem in my other hAP AC2 if it shows up. and (2) What can I do to correct this problem after I manually recover my brick it hAP AC2 device?
I have upgraded my RB951G-2HnD (mipsbe) from 6.46.2 to the lastest version 6.46.3 and it never come back.
I tried to restart it several times but it doesn’t come back.
Checking the router, I saw that the LED on which I have the network cable plugged in did not blink, I proceeded to plug it in again and it started to flash again, but the router still does not work
Has something similar happened to anyone? Have you been able to fix it in any way?
I have enough configuration and I would not like to have to reset it.
Ruh roh that’s not very reassuring. I was encountering this on my fleet of hundreds of CCR1036s. Wouldn’t those be considered relatively high resource devices?
