v6.35rc [release candidate] is released, new wireless package!

RyperX · Mon Apr 04, 2016 6:12 pm

I also had the problem that the router couldnt reboot after the update (2011UiAS-2HnD)
Unplugged power and after replug the router startet.

I know it was my fault that i didnt checked the forum before installation but i dont understand why mikrotik still deliver this update when there are much more problems then normal.
It would be enough to disable the update and wait for next release.

Stop this debate and enjoy RC releases! Feel proud yourselves because you're helping Mikrotik in making best networking products ever seen! They let us be a part of the developement with the RC channel! As the others do?

That is true. If you install RC, you must think about risk and revert back to working versions in unusually issues. My SXTs are on top of the roofs - no such a big thing with it - 30 minutes per one, but I can tell people on this forum, that something wrong is with this version of ROS RC. Next RC will be installed on my home MT, then on SXTs. I don't know other marks that releases RC firmwares. Maybe MT should do RC for registered RC/beta testers?

vortex · Tue Apr 05, 2016 1:41 am

The problem is not that it is RC, but that it is NOT.

It is not even beta, because Current is beta-level, IMHO.

I need to echo macgaiver: go to the right topic (or create a new) and post your complains in there. No offenses, just to don't mess up this topic.

And to all who are experiencing bugs: send your reports to support@mikrotik.com because (repeating mikrotik staff) this forum is officially "from and to" mikrotik users only.

My latest bug report was:
From 6.34 changelog:
*) snmp - add oid from ucd mib for total cpu load OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0;
And this oid don't works anymore on the v6.35rc42 (CCR1009) and above. Untested in prior 6.35rc versions.

I had some lab gears bricked too on v6.35rc45, but I don't sent bug reports because it should be too obvious to mikrotik team.

vortex · Tue Apr 05, 2016 4:24 am

I already created a new topic, but people keep discussing the issue here instead.

paoloaga · Tue Apr 05, 2016 11:50 am

Nightly -> Beta -> RC -> Feature -> Bugfix

Too many branches encumber the devs. I think that actual situation is far better than before, we should just understand the naming convention used by MT or maybe they can just change it:

RC => Development
Current => Latest features
Bugfix => Long Term/Stable

I am very happy about the new management of software releases.

Tue Apr 05, 2016 1:27 pm

Everyone who is still experiencing issues with upgrade/downgrade. In version 6.35rc46 we introduced fix:
*) nand - fixed reboot loop after upgrade to >v6.35rc43;

This fixed reboot loop, but you have to remember that within upgrade you can not have rc43-rc45 version involved. For example, upgrade from rc45 to rc46 could still crash because you try to upgrade from problematic version which does not have this fix included.

Wed Apr 06, 2016 6:09 pm

Correction, use regular update, but keep netinstall nearby.

I re-upgraded my 40 devices to the latest build and all of them were fine. (first time around there were few that needed Neinstall, but they were running 6.7-6.9). So might be NAND memory issue, that that fix is designed to solve (it periodically reads and re-writes sectors, to ensure data integrity, so we can assume there were devices that lost integrity already)

Just broke my HAP AC after upgrade from previous rc version. I don't have much time, but I have no luck with net install. Also not discoverable over winbox. Please help...

Wed Apr 06, 2016 10:07 pm

When everyone who bricked a device by update would send it to mikrotik back for warranty repair, it would make mikrotik to think and test twice before releasing harmful versions to public.

Just manage to net install it somehow... And install 6.35rc48. It's working normall, but the wifi speed on the 5 ghz using intel 7260ac is just like on the current channel. With the previous rc the speed was really good ~ 400 mbps.

I hope that they pay no cent for sending in a device which is bricked because you installed a nightly build.
Just stay at the current version unless you are willing to learn how to use netinstall.

Thanks to all, that mikrotik made from 6.2 to 6.32 & 6.34.4 . There is some great impruvements of stability was made.

I also has problem with 6.35 rc44 or rc45 on my 951G with boot loop.
It was fixed with netinstall & some PXE server.
Now I am on 6.34.4 and do not shure to go back to RC.

Can be PXE server be integrated to netintall for easy recover? Or write some more in manual? For idiots.

Thu Apr 07, 2016 1:39 pm

I stay with bugfix only on productive devices considering the stable to be beta and rc to be alpha. Making tests in lab before any update and updating in vawes and only if really necessary. Using partitions on devices where it is possible to be able to boot the backup when whatever problem occurs after update. I don't remember any fatal accident due to update on productive devices I have ever made.

I'd really appreciate a working config that I can dig through to understand.

My other problem is finding a sequence of steps to get from the factory-default RBmAPL-n2D WISP AP configuration to one where the (only) Ethernet interface is on the LAN without losing Winbox connectability. (I can always use the magic button to restore the factory-default configuration, but then I'm right back where I started.) Once I'm controlling the router firmly through its Ethernet interface, I should be able to reconfigure the wlan interface without losing control.

Hi mccreigh. Sorry for the long wait, but I have finally completed the config and have it ready to share. Feel free to use and modify as-needed. Comments are written in the config that most should be able to understand with basic RouterOS and networking experience.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gdy ... YnDcLFv6aU

And here's the config for posterity's sake (but the Google Doc above allows Commenting and revisions, so check that if you would like to see if I've ever made any updates):

# RouterOS Hotel Setup
# Created 2016-04-10 by Jacob McDonald
# Revised n/a

# This config was built using a model RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT (“hAP ac”).
# This router has 1x 2.4 GHz radio and 1x 5 GHz radio, but this configuration does not depend on two radios.
# This config uses the 2.4 GHz radio base interface in Station-Pseudobridge mode to connect to another Wi-Fi AP,
# and creates a Virtual AP virtual interface on top to serve 2.4 GHz stations. A 5 GHz AP is also configured, and
# the 5 GHz AP would provide better performance since the 2.4 GHz radio wouldn’t have to share air-time serving
# stations in AP mode and forwarding the traffic to the other AP in station mode.

# The split-mode radio configuration only works with RouterOS 6.35 (rc and higher), using the testing radio
# package “wireless-rep”. This package is not included in the main software package, but can be extracted from
# the extras package and installed a la carte.
# RotuerOS Software: http://www.mikrotik.com/download

# 1. Install the base package from System -> Packages, or by uploading the .npk to the root filesystem and reboot.
# 2. Extract the wireless-rep.npk package from the extras .zip archive, upload to the root filesystem, and reboot.
# 3. Third, upgrade the RouterBOARD firmware: System -> RouterBOARD -> Upgrade, and reboot.

# Change the wireless security profiles in “/interface wireless security-profiles” below:
#   default: set for your desired AP password (LAN)
#   wlan-WAN: set to the AP password for the Wi-Fi network you wish to use as WAN
#   none: this is a profile for using a Wi-Fi network as WAN with no authentication, typical in hotels

# Change between “wlan-WAN” and “none” security-profile as-needed by changing the setting in the
# “/interface wireless wlan1-WAN” config.

# Using the WebUI, Winbox, or CLI, perform Scan on the wlan-WAN interface, and select Connect to the AP you wish
# to use as WAN. This will adopt the frequency, bandwidth, and protocol settings automatically.

# This config will use the DHCP-supplied DNS servers from the WAN interface, which will be necessary to pass
# through the captive portal.

Requests for CAPsMAN bug fixes and new features, based on my experience with the current RC version:

6. {Annoying} Stop CAPsMAN from creating virtual interfaces on CAPs with name "wlanXXX" where XXX is a number which is incremented every time the interface is disabled and re-enabled.

Although I have not tried any of the RC versions, I have been tracking the release notes and do want to echo this request. I opened a ticket about it on 3/2/15 (#2016030266001122) and was eventually told "We have though about it. We will see if not changing name/id is possible solution and if everything will run smoothly then soon enough we will release changes." on 3/7/15 - I am hoping this makes it into 6.35rc and then current. Specifically my request was to re-use the same wlanID # (and SNMP interface index #) every time the CAP reconnects to the manager.

had weird issues with UPnP since 6.29 or later ~ in few online games, like BF4, Planetside 2(less frequent) and UT4.
without UPnP its works flawless.
not hard to reproduce, but time of issue after round - are vary/different/unpredictible.
(other customers report other games, especially PunkBuster-aware/supported, but i cannot reproduce their issues in same games. but few ones(like enumerated above) - had Very persistent disconnections in result)

fix:
conntrack issue, reported before - my error. impact of static ARP whitelisting/binding to netflow on mobile assets. resolved.

The Microtik is in a car, and I know several Wifi along the road (while stopping the car!).
The Idea was: Scan for known ssid's (or MAC..) and if found one, set wlan2 to the known credentials.

Why not use the existing wireless "connect list" feature ?

Simply set up a Connect List entry for each known ssid and associated security profile and leave the station SSID blank in the main screen. No scripting needed ?

Mikrotik will then try and connect to any AP that matches a Connect List entry.

If so this is a great improvement and I will look to people for testing on these larger concentrators (CCR's are particularly good for this).

If not, can you please advise what types of performance slowdown this does target?

Regards
Alexander

It is unrelated to ppp.
Problem appeared for example on GRE tunnels. Performance of one tunnel decreased after other gre tunnels were disabled/enabled.

Version 6.35rc49 has been released.

Changes since previous version:

*) dhcpv6 client - fix ia expiration and lifetime validation;
*) dhcpv6 server - acquire binding on renew if it does not exist;

I see a lot of works on dhcpv6 in recents RCs, which is a good thing.

Any timeline about adding options on the dhcpv6 client ? (like asked here : http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 81#p517695 ) ?

Thx.

Hi,

how do i enable Fast Path on my PPPOE-client? I think it will give my RB2011 more throughput.

Rc49 should contain correction for the [Ticket#2016031666000222] but nothing similar is mentioned in the release notes. Is it so or not?

I'm also interested in this new feature.

in wireless-rep package,capsman could you add “bridge-mode” config support？

Wed Apr 13, 2016 11:01 am

When installed 6.35rc49 on RB941-2nd (nonTC), got this blue error in the log:

09:52:49 script,warning DefConf: Unable to find wireless interface(s)

There are no scripts at all. What does it mean? Why there should be running any default config script while the default config was long time ago fully wiped and everything was set manually?

Wed Apr 13, 2016 12:16 pm

Each time you upgrade, new defautl configuration file is generated, it doesn't matter if you wipe defconf or not.

This problem is already fixed in the latest rc wireless-rep package.

Are you still seeing some problems with it?

ka4opi4a · Wed Apr 13, 2016 1:51 pm

Can I use latest current release and latest rc wireless rep package ?

Wed Apr 13, 2016 2:22 pm

No, you need to switch the RouterOS to Release Candidate channel and upgrade to the latest RC which currently is rc49. And then install the wireless-rep package.

Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:07 pm

Each time you upgrade, new defautl configuration file is generated, it doesn't matter if you wipe defconf or not.

So it means there is an error in the script that expects some wlan adapter but it is not present... You should correct the default script then.

Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:30 pm

RB941 has one wireless interface, if during load it cannot find one there will be an error.

Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:54 pm

How it cannot find one when there is such adapter present?

docmarius · Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:58 pm

Do you have the latest ROS update and the latest firmware installed?

Did you do a reset to defaults?

Did you try netinstall

Aren't these the ultimate answers for everything? 42.

Wed Apr 13, 2016 4:06 pm

Yes. This error line appears when latest rc is installed over the 6.34.4. I saw it repetitively on 4 devices. It's either the wrong defconf script or the script runs too early when drivers are not properly loaded yet. It was just to inform that it could signalised some other maybe more important problem. Otherwise I don't see any significant impact in my case so far.

Wed Apr 13, 2016 4:13 pm

Works perfectly fine on out of the box router. Generator has limited time of execution. Unless there is no heavy load on CPU during boot up that could cause drivers not to load in time you will be fine.

Hi,
how to open then "bridge-mode" for capsman mode? thanks.

Hi,

currently it is not possible and it will not be added in the near future as it isn't just simple settings, there are lot of things needed for supporting that feature. And for the regular indoor APs you don't need this function.

6.35rc49
NV2 qos works very good, ping in low, ap control capacity of the client well. Could u add a second Wieless Protocol nv2 (ex nv2-ptp, old named nv2-ptmp) for ptp only, with some special features to improove it? Ex lower the ping and more overhead control to stable the links? It could be the option in wireless-rep, we will test it.

"nv2-ptp", "nv2-ptmp"? I never heard of that. Only "NV2" then parameters are set for different type of link?

How did you measure the NV2 qos? Examples?

Nv2 gives time space, and other things, it is in the code, for ptmp it is working now very well as i wrote (in auto period size one station overhead ap much before, now it isn`t). I think for ptp the code could be rewrite and aded as a second choise in menu. In lte no matter what rate and speed u have, ping is always the same, this is for me good qos. It is work for a coders, i am a customer, they must do the job to beat airmax, not me

For me i rather be pleased to have 90mb and ping 0-1-2 ms on 240/240 802.11N than 130-140mb and ping 2-7-20ms, this is example. When noise apears radio should do the job and lower the speed to do 0-1-2ms, now u understand?

v6.35rc49,

pppoe-client interface always up-down if it's doesn't get ipv6 dhcp-pd.
can it make not re-dial the pppoe if the ipv6 dhcp-pd not obtained ?

janisk · Thu Apr 14, 2016 11:04 am

regarding options for DHCPv6-client, DHCP-PD client (and also DHCP--PD server) as it currently stands - options will be available only with RouterOS 7.x release due to technical limitations for backporting the feature.

No, not a lot. Your english is a bit hard to understand.
Basically you mention that the 'auto' setting of NV2 time delay should be in two versions? One for PtMP and one for PtP?
I found 'auto' setting not always give best result anyway. We have AP with 30 clients and in changing 'auto' in 6ms we more than doubled the total throughput from AP (30 =>55Mb. Netbox5) while the ping time to client hardly changed.

I think 'auto' setting is always a compromise. If you really need to fine tune a link you have to do it manually.
But I can see your point in having 2 different default 'auto' scenarios. One for PtMP and one for PtP. That would make sense and give a better start for many of us...

To bring down a ping time by QoS is not very senseful. Your ping would be nice stable and fast, since QoS will take care of it, but your end goal is a good service level for your client's traffic. That is not ping but ordinary internet, voip, streaming TV etc. etc. If your ping is good due QoS that doesn't mean your network traffic is as good.

When using the wireless_rep- package and adding the wan1-Device to a bridge called "bridge-wan" *and* using "connect-list",
bridge-wan does not get an ip adress from dhcp. (as station)
Removing it from the bridge it recives the ip immediately.

Connection it to station without using "connect-list" works, even as bridge.

Can this be a configuration error or is this a bug?

e.g. user name being used, auto-translation of vendor part of MAC (well it´s a gimmick)

If your were to create access lists based on the OUI info in this table http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui.txt then each registration would have manufacturer listed next to it.

It is not, perhaps, supposed to work. My understanding is CAPsMAN currently mainly targets indoors setups with only the standard 802.11 features supported.

We have released 6.35 (current) discussion topic here http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=107307 Thanks to your feedback we have found the issue randomly causing boards to fail on upgrade during the rc testing,m this fix is included in 6.35 (current),

to successfully upgrade to 6.35 from 6.35rc29-rc49, please do a /system reboot, and then on bootup make an upgrade straight away.
