v7.13.5 [stable] is released!

[JohnTRIVOLTA]

Why station pseudobridge work with old drivers on RBM33G, but not with basebox2 ? This is my question!

As I already wrote: it is probably a bug … either in ROS on basebox2 or in config applied to basebox2. If you suspect a bug in ROS (I guess you do), then make supout.rif of non-working basebox2 (and preferably of the working basebox2 running 7.12.1 for a refrence) and send them to Mikrotik to investigate.

Thank you ! I will make some more tests with another models.

You were all correct.
I set up a VPN to my edge router, so I could test the process using a “local” IP instead of Zerotier.
After removing Zerotier, I was able to load wifi-qcom-ac and the interfaces were visible and could be configured.

After all of that I decided to roll back though, as Zerotier is more important (ability to remotely manage) for me at the moment.

I will check in future if there is more unbundling taking place, and whether I will be able to get wifi-qcom-ac and Zerotier running together.
A few of the core components are not really vital to me, as the HAP AC2s I have are just APs, the edge device is an RB5009 where I need full functionality.
It is really a pity that storage is so limited on the HAP AC2, as it is otherwise an excellent device.

Yes, if i knew that 16 MB devices are crap, i would not buy AC2.
Normally, when you upgrade with zerotier, you don’t have space even for wireless package, so the upgrade fails and you are left on 12.1.
You can only have 13 with zerotier, if you remove all configuration, upgrade, install wireless (no new wifi-qcom-ac), and then install zerotier. And you have to know how to upload it correctly (not to flash, but to RAM). But you will end up with 0% free space. So, you risk to lock up your device, if put lots of config on it, or if it generates over 100-200 kilobytes of files.
I am sure that we will never see the room for extra packages on 16MB devices. Their obsolescence was programmed, and has arrived. This is called “efficient management based on effective marketing”.
Because zerotier is very important for me, i had to downgrade to 12.1, and will never upgrade until i would never need zerotier anymore.
Many enthusiasts will now have to spend more money on their expensive toys.

CCR1016 after updating to 7.13 not show lte interface anymore.
But in USB list it showing.

wireless already installed

At 7.12 all ok.

I’ve got the same problem with a Huawei E3372h-153. I’ve also got a E3372h-320 that seems to work fine.

But the E3372h-153 just disappears. It goes up for a split second and then goes down. Tried in a RB5009 and a AX3. I’ve also tried with a RB2011 and it works for a few seconds after restart, but then RX/TX stays at 0 mbps. I ended up downgrading to 7.12 and works fine again. There’s definitely something broken in 7.13.

Also, after upgrading +30 devices, I’ve got a problem with a CRS328: interfaces didn’t go up after upgrade. I had to connect using the console cable and observed there were 0 bytes left. After deleting some files and the wireless package, it booted correctly.

Looks like 7.13 breaks E3372h-153 somehow, after downgrade ROS to 7.12 I can’t use HiLink API for sms and I can’t send sms from modem either. I tried to reflash, upgrade modem and reset to factory, still have an issue with sms. May be something happened with sim card, but can only check in the next year (

Regarding 16MB flash devices, to have possibility in future to install any new ROS versions and any supported packages for device architecture maybe MT needs to consider feature to extend system partition with external drive or even possibility to completely use external drive partition as system root. Some 16MB devices have enough other resources (cpu/ram) that serves user’s purpose. Why forcing to buy new device just for more system storage? (rhetorical question).
Also 7.12.x can be set as long term release due to changes in 7.13, because some cannot upgrade to that version with some packages combinations due device storage limitation. In this case 7.12 must receive patches for major/security issues.

I tested this version on my CCR 1016 where MPLS and VPLS {LDP} is running. After 3 to 5 minutes router reboots and it keeps repating over and over. On version 7.12.1 everything is ok. Has anyone same experience? No error in log.

[lubomirs]

small note outside the version. . . hap ax2 if it had at least USB2 (better USB3.X) it would be an ideal small device and I think its sales would increase several times. . .
This way we have ac2 with USB but little storage space and limited RAM, and ax2 without USB but with lots of RAM and enough storage space.
I don’t know what led MKT to such a failed solution.
(And putting PoeIn and PoeOut on one port, I didn’t understand that either.)

Setting connect-priority=0/1 ensures connections to a new AP are immediately accepted and the old AP connection is dropped automatically. When using PSK authentication, this allows seamless roaming even without FT.

Thanks for the tip, man. You are a lifesaver!

Here the same, i have a RB5009UG+S After upgrade it keeps rebooting after 5 á 10 minutes.

[dvoijen]

Another issue: I tried to downgrade to version 7.12.1 and also doesn’t work!! I just uploaded the RouterOS 7.12.1 ARM64 into the /files of my RB5009 and went to System → Packages → Downgrade and the router refuses to downgrade. Reboots and nothing happens!.

I am so annoyed! and first time I have this kind of behavior. I am getting now messages every min in Telegram with non–sensical messages.

Uninstall the Wireless Package before downgrade.

After upgrading to 7.13, the connectivity to CCR1009 router was lost.

After inspection, it seems that Bridge VLAN Filtering behavior has changed and is not correct.

There are all VLANs declared in the Bridge/VLANs table but the VLAN filtering wasn’t enabled on the bridge.

Still, the traffic wasn’t passing by.

Please be aware. Support ticket opened: SUP-137880

Is anyone trying IS-IS cli? is it good?

After upgrading to 7.13, the connectivity to CCR1009 router was lost.

Upgrading from what version?

Regarding 16MB flash devices, to have possibility in future to install any new ROS versions and any supported packages for device architecture maybe MT needs to consider feature to extend system partition with external drive or even possibility to completely use external drive partition as system root.

Has been suggested before, e.g. when the hAP ac2 could not run wifiwave2 due to space restrictions, but that model has USB.
No meaningful reaction, so I presume they “just don’t want to do that” for whatever reason.

Upgrading from what version?

If stable, 7.12 or 7.12.1, obviously.

I have same behavior with CCR1036-8G-2S+,CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ and CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS.
Getting Log messages (CLI):
rebooted without proper shutdown by watchdog timer
or
router was rebooted without proper shutdown, probably kernel failure

After returning to 7.12.1 everything seams to be stable

We experience that too!
An RB4011 crashed after a few minutes or half an hour, it seems it depends on the amount of traffic.
A CCR2216 crashed after a few hours.

Every other router without VPLS have no problem.

My guess is they don’t want additional development cost to sell less devices.

Is there a list of devices that require/support the “wifi-qcom-ac” package? Should the “wireless” package be uninstalled first?

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi#WiFi-Compatibility
Uninstalling is a MUST on everything that is on the compatibility list and has 16MB flash, that is if you want to use wifi-qcom-ac instead of wireless package.
