Well, generally that is what is referred to as “the loopback address”.
But in certain circles, certainly the users of OSPF, it is popular to refer to “the loopback address” as a unique address put on each router to have a static and unique address on each router, which is beneficial to the stability/managability of the routing protocol.
As in this case the change log entry is related to the routing, I am not at all surprised that people are confused.
Hello,
I have to say that after the update my WIFI devices connect much much much better!!! I have three cAPGi-5HaxD2HaxD
Roaming also works better now.
Devices that previously only knew 2 GHz now connect stably to 5 GHz
@ Mikrotik Support - really GREAT WORK!!!
But one device (a Samsung washer) cannot log into the WIFI network. It couldn’t do that in any of the older versions either.
Here is a log from 25 seconds:

Nice work!
But, after rebooting the router, the adlist does not load again and it stops working.
Also please specify what memory is used at the moment of adlist loading. I noticed that at the moment of booting, the number in the Sector write since reboot has been increased
"allow-signal-out-of-range (time period | ‘always’)
The length of time which a connected peer’s signal strength is allowed to be outside the range required by the signal-range parameter, before it is disconnected.
A similar change is needed for the “Tx Power” column, currently there are two columns with the same name which results in empty data if you reopen the WiFi window.
Turn off fast roaming support… that usually fixes connection problems for old or simple devices.
You can create another SSID for only those devices and leave fast roaming on the primary network.
i know this is kind of cosmetic.
Some time ago i filed SUP135576. It was closed with the answer, that this behavior will be fixed in some upcoming version. Unfortunately it seems to persist in this Version.
I think /ping and traceroute should behave like in other OSs so troubleshooting will be more straight forward. And the response is also kind of false.
Since ping can do IPv6 a AAAA should be a appropriate record.
Currently its like this:
[johann@hap1] > :put [:resolve ipv4.ipv64.net]
144.76.85.238
[johann@hap1] > :put [:resolve ipv6.ipv64.net]

Thank you very much for looking into this and the awesome work in this release.
I am surprised that people do not have that already. In the manual it says that the default range is -120..120 so I would expect that one starts from there.
However, there appears to be a (new?) bug as now, when creating a new access rule with signal level, the initial range is 0..0.
That is of course not good. It looks like this bug was introduced with the wifi-qcom drivers.
i updated some CRS-317 switches from 7.12.1 to 7.15 without problem, and enabled qos-hw-offloading just to see the counters with default configuration and all good
but
One switch which had the following ACL on interface towards provider cease to forward traffic on that interface after enabling qos-hw-offloading
sorry i dont tried removing that ACL to test, but thats the only relevant difference in config between the switch which presented the issue and other switch
