What’s new in 6.0rc3 (2012-Nov-09 12:59):

*) fixed problem - MetaROUTERs did not work on RB2011s;
*) fixed problem - Realtek 1Gbit ethernet cards did not work;
*) added “/ip settings” menu with following settings:
ip-forward, send-redirects, accept-source-route, accept-redirects,
secure-redirects, rp-filter, tcp-syncookies;
*) fix some ipv6 firewall matchers;
*) improved performance for eoip,eoipv6,gre,gre6 tunnels, especially on multi core;
*) /queue tree entries with parent=global are performed separately from /queue simple and before /queue simple;
*) snmp - fixed missing OIDs;

I noticed that “tcp-syncookie” setting disappeared from /ip firewall connection tracking.

Noticed because my automatic provisioning scripts fail miserably with 6.0rc3.

:slight_smile:

Its now in

/ip settings

6.02
System → Packages → Check for Updates → Download

6.03

and now it’s “ERROR: broked LATEST file”

UPD: upgraded to rc3 final - now detection works correctly

UPD2: file is broken again %)

Just installed the v6.0rc3 on two OmniTIK U-5HnD and suddenly I had a horrible drop in wireless speed.

My setup is using two of these OmniTIK for my 5Ghz coverage at home connecting with laptops, smartphones and tablets. With my Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone I can normally easily get 5MB/sec to 6MB/sec and when close by and having great signal I get 7MB/sec to even 8MB/sec, the max the wireless speed of the chip in the phone.

Testing is done by running iperf in server mode on a Win2k8 R2 server (easily does full Gigabit) and as said the client is a SGSIII running android and also using iperf.

Running the v6.0rc3 release I can get max 1MB/sec but mostly more around 250KB/sec or 500KB/sec. Same spot, same conditions, nothing else changed but the RouterOS version.

Since I have two (for providing full coverage in my house) I downgraded one and tried again. It’s running v5.21 and the speeds for that one have returned to normal.

Any clues?

Scan list. Inline is better. This is fail.

Normis,
did you have more details about

  • improved performance for eoip, especially on multi core, especialli in 1100AHx2 ?

thanks

Rodolfo

Upgraded my RB751U from 5.21, CPU got set at 250MHz and DNS servers were lost.

Please make a support output file when you are doing those tests and send them to support@mikrotik.com
Also I suggest to try out RouterOS v5.22rc1 test release to see if you are getting the same problem or it is working like in v5.21 - the test version you can get from the support.

13

Use the new Channel option where you can make a new list of all your frequencies and then use that channel name in the scan-list.

upgraded 2 my SXT5HnD to 6.0rc3.

  1. after = free memory 15.3 MiB. # Before = free memory 19.5 MiB.
  2. after = NV2 bandwidth about 47 Mbps. # Before = NV bandwidth up to 92 Mbps.

but the icons are very nice. :slight_smile:

thank you MikroTik.

15
  1. from which version you made the upgrade. that 15mb free memory is right after bootup or after some time?
  2. It is TCP or UDP? one direction or both? What data rates that link used in older version with 92mbps and what data rates does it use now when it is 47mbps? are the data rates stable or jumping?

i upgraded 2 my SXT5HnD from 5.21. yes in 5.21 after bootup free memory 19.5 MiB, upgraded to 6.0rc3 after bootup free memory mostly 15.5 MiB, but some times free memory 17.6 MiB.

my 2 SXT5HnD are already installed on my cyber cafe top roof and my house top roof. same configuration in 5.21, no changes after upgraded. i checked the status tx/rx strenght and signal to noise are same (both before or after upgrade).

i tested copy the file (size 1.2 GB) on my laptop in house from my cyber cafe. Speed stable about 47 ~ 51 Mbps.

here is the pic.
Version 6.0rc3

Version 5.21

thank you sir…

please contact support@mikrotik.com - we will provide you with test RouterOS v5.22rc1 so you could compare the results if they are the same like with v6.0rc3 or like in v5.21

A second speed drop report from me. This time not wireless but in download speeds with only LAN connected clients.

I use a RB2011UAS-2HnD as my home router. A server is connected to it with 8x2TB disks, etc. etc. This servers runs SabNZBD to do my news server downloads.

Normally this runs between 100MBit to 120MBit easily. Getting 14MB/sec actual download speeds.

With v6.0rc3 this dropped to max 6MB/sec or maybe 7MB/sec. Trying to stress the link with more clients at the same time, I would see some spikes of 120Mbit total traffic (max download speed of my link). But not using the news downloads from one host anymore.

I just downgraded to 5.21 and it seems my speeds have returned to normal. It’s a bit hard to test since it’s 18:00 right now and at those times my provider can get bogged down a bit. I will verify later tonight and rectify if needed.–update Hitting 120Mbit right on the mark now running 5.21 and a little less busy time for my provider. So the v6.0rc3 firmware was cutting my speed almost in half. Looking in my SabNZBD history list and comparing download speeds also confirms this.

Also the interface setting itself to 100Mbit initially has returned. I did not see this problem in v6.0rc3.

downgrading from 6rc3 to 5.21 on a rb411 has hanged the rb and it can not be reached

most of the wireless packages were missing

I tried to install 6.0rc3 to a USB stick (Sandisk Cruzer Fit), but it fails.
At first I created this stick with netinstall, but when I plug it in the machine (Intel DN2800MT) the ‘installer’ says: FATAL ERROR: no harddrives found.
Then I tried the same, but instead booted from a CD with the CD-image: same error.
Somehow this USB stick is not recognized.
Installing 5.21 on the same stick works perfectly, just as 6.0beta2.
