V7.20.4 [stable] is released!

You will never know if not try. Even if the containers had not been taken away from MIPSBE, I would still try to combine Mikrotik's functionality with the power of OpenVRT packages...

Yesterday we had an internet outage for about one hour. During that time, a lot of half-open IPsec associations were created. Today, ISAKMP-SA deleted messages started showing up as those timed out after a day.

I have deleted the expired Active Peers and that list is now clean, but in the Installed SA tab a lot of old entries are displayed and the list (and the count in the lower left in Winbox4) is changing all the time. When using the command line (“/ip/ipsec/installed-sa/print”), only a single entry is displayed and then “no such item (4)”.

I sent a supout.rif from a router running 7.19.4 that also experienced this (and was a simple config) as ticket SUP-204589 but unfortunately it was closed with the generic “try to reproduce it with the latest stable”…

Fortunately I have also routers running 7.20.4 where this happened, but they are much much more complicated. Made a new supout.rif (1.1MB…), hopefully they can use that.

Hi all, it’s unbelievable that Mikrotik has NOT yet EITHER release an updated 7.20.x version of the software correcting the serious bugs of 7.20.4 OR REMOVE the 7.20.4 from the stable series so to protect and respect other users.

They are pretend and extend the 7.21.x beta like no problem exists rather than redirect their developers attention to fix the hilarious 7.20.4 release.

Customer support and respect : 0

Iam waiting since 24 days since the frist time release 7.20 to fix alot of pppoe problem but !! nothing
i already tested all releases 7.20.xx 7.21.xxx beta nothing new but alot of lines about fixing problems without an effective thing.

If possible, go back to 7.19.6. If fixed my problems with pppoe. Both OS and firmware.

Logical approach but for one reason or the other most people keep insisting to move forward instead of going backwards to the situation where it worked.

I think it is time to make an official nomination of the 7.20.4 version for the "2025 worst Mikrotik stable release award".

Its worst that still MTK dont have resolution, and release updated version. Or remove this version from "stable" release tree.

We have found that BGP VPLS does not work in ROS 7.20.4. Downgrading to 7.19 solves the problem.

Only load the packages which are present.
Nothing more, nothing less.

PS it's not nice to delete a post when someone already answered ...

On RBD52G-5HacD2HnD, rev. r3, FT ipq4000L, Current Firm 7.20.4 after update,

Free HDD Space = 0 KiB. I had to uninstall the wifi module. After that i have FreeHDD Space = 2160 KiB

Of course. Old devices are not suitable for new wi-fi drivers. You may do netinstall and limit quantity of certificates (if you use them) and maybe get more free space. But I won’t recommend anyway.

install was for OLD wifi module.

It’s interesting. Then this is, probably, one more bug of 7.20 branch.

We cannot know, it may also be the result of too much configuration or something that writes large files.

This device has only the absolute minimal storage, you should not use the storage for anything else.

Interestingly you have now more free space than the wireless package size. Maybe try again to reinstall wireless package and see what happens.

Try also:

console/clear-history

8 Byte)))

Without any extra packages, you should have nearly 2.9MB free storage. Here on my RBD52G-5HacD2HnD with the container package installed:

As other have said, check the file list and the certificate list. With recent RouterOS versions you no longer need the external root CA for example (previously the CA cert bundle took nearly 1MB of my flash storage).
