Hello, I run routeros on many devices and locations and do not upgrade them with new version unless there is a fix, improvement or new feature that is relevant to my setup. Even when I do upgrade them I usually wait for a few days and read announcement forum thread to see what issues I may experienc...

Hello,

CRS328 does not support PTP over 10GB ports. Only on gigabit ports. CRS310 does not support PTP at all ... have a look at the bottom of the page for supported devices list:

Upgraded successfully the following: bunch of CCR1009 devices, chr, 4011 and 5009

Crashed horribly with reboot loop (needed to netinstall): wAP-AC-LTE6 kit. (arm). Works fine for now with fresh 7.14 install.

JF.

JanezFord

Upgraded CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC without problems. Running nat, few vlans, ipsec, ipip/gre tunnels, ospf, wireguard. So far everything works fine. Also successfully upgraded RB2011-UiAS-2HnD.

JF.

JanezFord

Upgraded rb2011-uias-2hnd from 7.1.5 to 7.2 with no issues. WiFi station pseudobridge, a few vlans, ospf. Working without issues. Winbox 3.32 with Wine on mac causes winbox to crash on login, Winbox 3.35 works fine.

by default the MAC address option is chosen but if the CAPsMAN was not accessible via MAC it switches to IP.
If you want you can force to use just the MAC or just the IP.

Upgrade your RouterOS too, the authentication process is different in new versions

I am running 6.45.1 ... I do not dare to upgrade to 6.45.2 due to SPF+ problems on 4011. I use SPF+ port for WAN.

It works OK now with todays release of Mikrotik IOS app 1.0.11. 1.0.10 was the problem.

JanezFord: Update your app to version 1.0.11 if you cannot connect to ROS >= 6.45:

MikroTik it can not?

I belive you aks too much of the cheapest and smallest of current mikrotiks ... choose more powerfull product if you intend to run l2tp server with 90mbit/s traffic. You ask too much of the little 751U.

RAM frequency is 400MHz, CPU is 500MHz, it was a mistake in the brochure. We will fix the online version.
