Works good so far

QUESTIONS:
*) firewall - added support for random external port allocation;
What means this? A bugfix or something we can configure? What is “random” now and what works now what has not worked before?

*) snmp - added wifi fields to MIKROTIK-MIB;
Where can I view the .mib-file? Which OIDs?

*) health - removed board-temperature on RB5009UPr+S+IN device;
WHY?! I used this as OID and it gave good reading!!
You removed it for the RB5009UPr+S+ (not “IN”) too

[StupidProgrammer]

Not being erlinden but first thing which comes to mind: powerline.
E,g,:
https://www.devolo.global/products
You don’t have to use the wifi variant, you can use the ethernet-only version and use your own AP of choice.
“sender” and “receiver” need to be on the same phase of your electrical installation and presence of solar power installations will reduce throughput drastically if on that same circuit (but I assume for a washer and dryer there is not much bandwidth needed).

Ah yes, that’s nice, except for the fact that I have 3-phase electricity at home With wifi-qcom-ac my appliances are just barely holding on, whereas the old wireless package with superchannel and no_country_set was great, and I really have no desire to spend a crapload of extra money just so my wife can get notifications when the laundry is done…

Hi

After upgrading, l2tp client is not connecting. In Webfig all ipsec tabs are empty and an /ip/ipsec/export results on an error.

software id = WZEK-CJNA

model = CCR2004-16G-2S+

serial number = XXXXXXXXX

#error exporting "/ip/ipsec/policy/group" (timeout)

Any clues?

Due to a chip issue which reports board temperature MikroTik decided to remove this parameter from health.

Due to a chip issue which reports board temperature MikroTik decided to remove this parameter from health.

Sad - it gave me good, plausible and reliable reading.
Opened a ticket (SUP-176683), because I can not relate.

[oreggin]

Ok, I have serious problem with DHCP client after upgrade to 7.17, as it drops default route on multiple type of devices (RB4011, SXTsq 5 ac). I experienced this on RCs and betas too. Routers creating autosupout.rif file after dropping def route. I try to figure out what triggers this issue.

Edit: read next post, this is complex routing issue

“Wireless” is fine with 7.17, but “wifi-qcom-ac” is crap, unfortunately. I have had long time open memory leak ticket SUP-147911 for hAP ac^2. This ticket has been closed without solution - but it is bullet proof the leak is related to “wifi-qcom-ac”, because “wireless” is fine and stable. There is no any willingness on Mikrotik side to do any investigation, only short message - it is old HW. But this old HW IPQ-4019 with exact same amount of RAM memory (256MB) and ROM memory (16MB) is used in Chateau 5G R16. There was visible decrease of RAM free memory 10MB/day starting with 150MB to OOP after roughly 14-21 days - kernel panic memory.

Well it may goes out of memory with SMB, but if wifi-qcom-ac really takes a large chunk of RAM, then OOM might also happen if you run a container (that worked fine with wireless), or if you use adlist with huge lists, etc… If they disable and hide SMB, then should they do that with container and adlist too?

Currently you have to explicitly remove wireless and install wifi-qcom-ac. It is assumed that you read the doc before doing that, and from now on, the doc has the warning about the RAM usage. If your router suffers from OOM, your first thought now would be to revert back to wireless.

I can´t confirm that there´s a general problem with wifi-qcom-ac.
There are 4 devices running since 50days without any memory leaks or other problems:

MikroTik asked to send supout to them for this. I already netinstalled so can’t, but if you can generate a supout and send it to them as the above post requested, I’m sure they will help them.

Please send supout.rif file from your device to support@mikrotik.com

But the only reason I have that is because I can’t remember which South American country is better Was it Panama?

Brazil is better than ETSI most of times: 30dBm vs 20dBm on 2.4GHz, 30dBm vs. 14dBm on 5735-5875 MHz … but not always: ETSI has 30dBm vs. 24dBm on 5490-5730 MHz.

According to reg-info from wAP ax running 7.17, US is the same as Brazil … but starting with 2025-01-20 I’ll like Brazil better than US (regardless nationality of the first lady to be)

Its strange! I using L2TPv2 tunnels, ip,ipv6,mpls over it. Using IGP protocol (RIP or OSPF doesn’t matter) to distribute Loopback addresses. MPLS LDP is active on it and using BGP to exchange VPNvX routes. On IPv4 BGP peers I echange VPNv4 routes, on IPv6 BGP peers I exchange VPNv6 routes.
Here comes the strange part. Until only IPv4 BGP peer is active nothing bad happens. When IPv6 BGP peer is comes up or it gets update(?) then it messing up the IPv4 routing table. For example it deleting the DHCP default route so L2TP tunnel goes down.

Due to a chip issue which reports board temperature MikroTik decided to remove this parameter from health.

The questions was “WHY?” What is the chip doing to cause this decision?

First they have to figure out what does this message actually mean…

Sometimes the reported board temperature is ridiculously high, I have seen that in one of our devices (while others are OK).

[]) ppp - add routes in matching VRF;

Still not all routes added to the correct VRF for PPP interfaces added to an interface list (through PPP profile) and interface list added to VRF.
I’ll eat a broom if this bug ever gets fixed.

[osc86]

I’ve sent supout files from two devices to support regarding the ‘upgrade failed, free XX kB of kernel disk space’ error.

[pe1chl]

upgrade failed, free 9 kB of kernel disk space

Maybe on some devices there is a separate partition for /boot ?
That used to be required/customary on some Linux filesystems or disk devices, to guarantee that the boot code was always within some area supported by the bootloader.
When for some reason the previous kernel version is not removed after upgrade, a next upgrade may be impossible.
(I know that issue from a server which was installed with a previous Debian version that by default created a “small” boot partition in certain circumstances)
