Hi

I was trying to install ROS 7.5 beta on a hap ac2 using package manager..

Download of packaged started telling some packages are not found - then device rebooted. After I was not able to access the device any more.

I tried netinstall many times on several ports (no virus scan firewall etc) even tried with stable and beta Netinstall.

Is the device dead?

What can I do beside sending it to RMA?

Do a google search for "netinstall mikrotik tutorial"

I did I know how to netinstall

I too wanted to install the beta5 on that hAP ac^2 device, but after seeing this posting I of course stopped that plan
(btw, @markwien thanks for sharing your negative experience as it warns other users to be careful).
Anybody else having that same problem?
Can a MikroTik developer / tester please give a statement on this issue? Thx.

I made it now work to install the beta.
My netinstall issue was that I had to disable all other network interfaces on my pc ...

To install beta web update doesn’t work! It gets package not found...

I had to Web Update to the latest testing ros6 and upgrade router os Firmware. After I uploaded ros 7.5 beta via netinstall.

I hope this helps others

@markwien, thx for documenting the solution. I'll soon upgrade too.

So, you updated both RouterOS and the firmware to the latest regular version, and then did a netinstall?
Is a direct update from the latest regular version to 7.0beta5 not possible? Did you try this variant too?

direct update via package manager or netinstall didn’t worked at my side. I had to bring router board Firmware to latest testing version using packet installer. But upgrade from there to ros 7 only worked via netinstall. On packet manager packes where not found on mkt download server
