RB1036 ROS6.48.3 485 days so far for a "big boy" at main office
hAP ac lite 6.47.10 477 days ... not bad for such "little one" installed on a construction site.
Who can answer for everyone?do always everyone upgrade crucial devices?
I still keep same version of RouterOS on all devices, at the moment the 6.48.6 long-term, after months of testing and reading on forum.What about ... "if it's not broken, DO NOT REPAIR!!"?
I do not understand this questionWhat newer version of ROS has common to manually crafted firewall's rules?
i agree with you, only exception is 6.48.6 for those who still do not want to go to v7 until long term v7 arrives and is proven/tested"Show your old, unmaintained RouterOS here".
I do not understand this questionWhat newer version of ROS has common to manually crafted firewall's rules?
You implied that firewall configuration depends on ROS version. And yes ... exploits are always possible despite installed version. If you have properly closed ecosystem then you have to assume that you are safe. Otherwise you will be eaten by the "safety neurosis".Leaving an old version of RouterOS only makes you hope that the firewall is always well configured and that there are no exploits around...
It's not a good thing to boast a high uptime
Noone can answer in the name of everyone but you stated in the name of everyone that "high time is bad". I could argue that switchong on/off is the worst moment for any electronic device as voltage spikes could blow up elements despite their age.Who can answer for everyone?do always everyone upgrade crucial devices?
I keep replace devices on regular basis, check the removed device, and after clean, check, repair (if needed) and netinstall, I use it to replace another device and so on...(Obviously the devices are identical...)
"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" argument I would say "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well."I still keep same version of RouterOS on all devices, at the moment the 6.48.6 long-term, after months of testing and reading on forum. Just exactly two exception because I'm forced to use 7.6 on that devices.What about ... "if it's not broken, DO NOT REPAIR!!"?
I never use the last version, there must really be something critical and unblockable by the classic users and firewall security rules to force me to put a version that hasn't been known for semesters already...
Absolutely .. so is it time for pizza and good drink? Let our routers do more traffic...
Obviously there is a difference between an access point inside the house and a Core Router that serves 2000 users...
About the device that won't restart... Better to find out in a planned way than by surprise... again this time it can apply to everyone...
Agree with you. But came across this one today - 285d using v7.1.5. At least one datapoint on V7 stability...For be precise: «It's not a good thing to boast a high uptime»
