![]() ![]() Please make a habit of keeping your routers up to date, both for security patches as well as stability and features. Your mileage may vary, but in my experience smooth network operation starts with solid firmware and system packages. For me, that’s broken and particularly so in networks that include hundreds of MikroTik routers that I sometimes find have varying levels of system packages AND differing firmware levels for the router. I’ve seen everything from unexplained WiFi drops to weird traffic interruption to protocols that don’t behave like they should. ![]() So you might be wondering, will the router work if you forget to take this additional step? And the answer is: it depends on what you call “work”. Unfortunately, there’s also another location that needs to be updated when upgrading the router version, and that’s in System –> RouterBOARD –> Upgrade. Many people believe that there’s just one update needed on a MikroTik RouterBOARD, and that’s found by going to System –> Package –> Update –> Check For Updates. SYSTEM PACKAGE UPDATE vs SYSTEM ROUTERBOARD UPGRADE So, I’m making a blog about some of the things everyone who uses a MikroTik should be aware of, but might not be. ![]() Hey guys, so I do a lot of MikroTik network audits and troubleshooting and I found that there’s a few things about MikroTik that everyone should know, but all the time I’m finding someone who didn’t know that. ![]()
