RouterOS updates/upgrades fails over v6-only networks

Sun May 21, 2023 11:37 am

Can someone explain to me on why MikroTik ROS upgrade/updates fails on v6-only networks? It always needs an IPv4 connectivity in order to be able to resolve the DNS and fetch the downloads.

Last time I checked, it's 2023. What's the problem with v6-only ROS upgrades?

Does your device resolve the ipv6 address for the upgrade server ?

Yes it's 2023. But time doesn't make an undesirable shitty invention any better unfortunately. Just ask Betamax

No. MikroTik RouterOS does not work with IPv6-only DNS servers, it needs v4 in order to resolve no matter what.

Simply disable IPv4 completely and test it yourself.

Can't test.
My ISP doesn't support IP6 (yes, in 2023 ...).
