*) defconf - fixed invalid default password setting after configuration reset (introduced in v6.49.4);

Can you explain that in more detail? Does this mean one can get locked out doing a full reset to defaults?
Or is it “only” related to the recently introduced prompt to change the password when it is empty?
I reset a router running 6.49.4 to defaults yesterday but it was with “keep user configuration” and nothing bad happened.

If factory settings had wps sync key on the Audience, then after reset this key was set as user password.

4

It only affected Audience?
That in effect makes this release only relevant to Audience, CRS106 and CRS112?

5

Thank goodness. I didn’t reset the config since last version due to multiple reasons. I am glad I didn’t.

There are prohibited CAPsMAN rates above mcs-23.

Hi,
updated some CAPacs , a CRS 309, a HEXS with out Problems. Then I had to climb up to a HEX PoE to powercycle it. It did not respond to ping/macping, the ports stayed up, but no traffic was flowing. It´s used as a PoE Switch only, no routing. Update was from 6.49.4 > 6.49.5.

With new update 6.49.5 on CRS112 ubiquit SPF modules UF-RJ45-1G do not work anymore. Going back on firmware (Long Term) OK. Iam not sure but 6.49.3 was working.

CRS305
CRS326
CRS317
CHR
no issues

Upgraded hEX from 6.49.4 to 6.49.5. Worked OK but had some issues connecting to some sites (Apple updates, Youtube). Rebooted the router and seems to work fine now.

It is still not possible to configure HT MCSs for the four spatial streams in CAPsMAN rate.

Updated below models without any issues so far:

  • 3 RB4011
  • 2 RB3011
  • 1 hAP ac3


    Strange thing is, my RB2011 is not getting the latest stable update from the /system/packages/ menu.
16

You need to investigate why that is! Strange fixed DNS entries, scripts you did not create, etc.

17

Nothing is wrong from the router end. No unwanted scripts, rules, DNS entries are found. I’ll perform netinstall shortly after and will check if that works or not.

18

Do you get some error message (unable to resolve DNS name, timeout when connecting) or does all seem OK but it shows no available update?

19

The router only shows no available update and is installed to the latest version 6.49.4.
Apart from this, all services are okay and I’m not having any network issues at all. To be honest, this is for my home lab, and the router does not contain any complicated configurations. Just some firewall rules, DHCP, simple natting, etc.

While it is a bit worrying that your router does not show available updates (that might point to it being hacked and now updates are being controlled by someone other than MikroTik), there is no reason to install 6.49.5 on a 2011.
When you have time you can try do a /export, examine it for things that you put not in there yourself, then do a netinstall with format and no default settings, and then connect using MAC and upload and import the /export file again.
When you use version 6.49.4 for that you can then again try to see if it shows the update. But you can also immediately go to 6.49.5.
