MikroTik Firmware

MikroTik routerOS 6 firmware is generally stable. We are currently using 6.49.11 (some run 6.49.12)

Do not use version 7 (not yet supported) or version 6.47/6.48/6.49.2 (occasional hangs)

Download 6.49.611 OmniTik (mipsbe) here and SXTsq (arm) here

Remember that OmniTiks use the "mipsbe" firmware and SXT's use the "arm" firmware due to different processors.

We have documented issues with 6.47/6.48/6.49.2 so don't use them.

We have many omnitiks running 6.49.611 without any problem.

Note: with some OmniTik in some case it seems the memory get used up and not released. When we encounter such device we add a script that reboot the OmniTik between 2 - 3am when the used memory reached 75%
Connect to your Omni via ssh and copy past those lines. This will add a script and schedule the script to run every 15m.

routerOS 7

Don't use it yet - it won't work!

This has finally been released but it doesn't work with our configuration yet. We keep testing it as we are eager to deploy the newly added WireGuard. If you are interested in beta-testing the WG setup, post in the #software-firmware channel on Slack.

If you need to downgrade, read the instructions here

Mikrotik devices come in a variety of architectures and form-factors. Fortunately the firmware versioning and built levels are the same across all platforms. The main variant is the architecture, which might be a different chip for each device model.

We currently use the stable version of RouterOS 6 (6.49.611)
