Click "Check for updates" in QuickSet or Packages menu to get the new version. This time, it should also work for v5 routers, please report if your device found the new release and how the update went.
in Terminal, '/interface print detail'Where can you see this interfaces report last link up/down time and link down count?
How can think dev build of when such, if from being out in the Stable release a major bug up here,This is crazy...
MT I would rather wait months for updates if you guys would test them properly!
If you need BETA testing, make a different BETA branch for the firmware!

Hey guys, let's have a simple reality check for a moment.
If you download/upgrade any new ROS and deploy it...You essentially become the "Beta" tester, eh?
So far, I don't believe that MikroTik is requiring anyone to upgrade to a newer version of the software. So if the current version is working, then probably you should leave it alone.
If you want to experiment with newer versions, that's ok but then you do it at your own risk.
Since MikroTik doesn't charge for the software, you might conclude that it is worth ever penny you paid for it.. But there are other opinions that might differ at bit.
Rule of thumb should be, to only test new ROS software on a non-essential network and give it enough time to reveal any problems. If someone deploys it on a active network, well then, you have to accept the risks.

This is an automated reply that will help you to get fastest
possible solution or reply from our support department.
Make sure you have:
1) attempted to re-set your configuration and started from the beginning, following steps in the documentation
2) the latest RouterOS version installed on the router
http://www.mikrotik.com/download.html
3) attached the supout.rif file from the router in question
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Su ... utput_File
4) included a precise description of the problem - use network diagrams, screenshots, videos if necessary
If something from above is incomplete in your current email, please, send all additional information as a reply to this email.

Great my ovpn remote access is working again. I don't know if it was related to it or not, but it solved my TLS error during connection.What's new in 6.21.1 (2014-Nov-03 15:20):
*) certificate - fix CRL handling in trust chain;
Would be very interested to hear if this actually resolves the problems we've been having with the AC's . Had to yank them all out of production due to random reboots and replace with the UBNT's again.What's new in 6.21.1 (2014-Nov-03 15:20):
What's new in 6.21 (2014-Oct-30 12:34):
*) wireless - fixed Nv2 kernel panic on 802.11ac interfaces
Please make a support output file and report to support@mikrotik.comSSTP and PPTP clients are not working! If I would update a remote router connected to my central router by VPN, I would lost it. Downgrade to 6.20 solved the problem.
Almost each update is causing some troubles. I agree - it is crazy.
If you are using one of these lte cardslte - changed device identification for devices which regenerate MAC address,
most likely this will loose device's configuration;
more detailes please
Please contact support@mikrotik.com and attach the support output file so we could analyze this problem.Warning!
I just upgrade two CCR1036 to 6.21.1 from v6.20 and lost access to routers. They keep rebooting at each couple of seconds and never go back.
Only netinstall could solve the problem (after hours with consumer complaints).
You guys do not testing before releasing to the public?
Email to support is on the way.
PS: No problem on ppc and mipsbe.
Edit: There is one bonding interface one each router.
We will fix this in the next RouterOS version.Hi Guys !
Bug the Netmetal922 AC Device on ros6.19 and 6.20 ! fw3.17
I change the wireless interface protocol mode to nv2 the device power led dont work anymore(interface settings change to default, and reboot the device, working fine the power led again). The power led work fine if boot the device, if booted the ros not work.
Regards
Krisztian
Same issue here on a 750GL, DNS maxes cpu , DNS tab shows no DNS servers defined. Everything was fine after reboot, DNS servers showed back again.Warning!
I just upgrade RB2011UAS-2HnD to 6.21.1 from v6.19 and my router CPU used 100%.
and I turn off all ether Port(ether3 Port is Console) but, Nothing had changed.
I sent a rif file to the mikrotik support email and I waiting for a reply.
Please do sufficient test, before the release.
Hi Chupaka,in Terminal, '/interface print detail'Where can you see this interfaces report last link up/down time and link down count?
The bios version from the affected CCR's was 3.18. After upgrade to 3.19 I did a reinstall to 6.21.1 at top from 6.20 using the same configuration and there are no problems right now. Looks like v6.21.1 don't play well with bios 3.18.These releases and more specifically, releases full of bugs are seriously becoming rather tiresome right about now...

We have tested CCR routers in many combinations of RouterOS and firmware. We have not noticed any issues in this particular combination of OS/firmware. Please contact our support department with clear description of what the problem was and send supout files from your devices which were affected by this combination. We will gladly take a look if your specific configuration might cause some problems.The bios version from the affected CCR's was 3.18.

But the Mikrotik team should not have tested it? I have open tickets for another bugs too.
Looks like the best approach is maintain a lab to test the new versions, even the "stable" ones.
we are unable to reproduce your problem - the DHCP menu and its content is ther in v6.21.1After doing a download from the Web UI and upgrade and reboot, surprised to find no DHCP items on the IP menu in winbox UI or anywhere else as far as I can tell. Still working through the Terminal as AFAK, but I think I'll back down to 6.20 for now.

In older RouterOS version the the 6db tx-power offset was not taken into the account. This problem is now fixed in latest RouterOS releases where it uses the correct tx-power value. Since the offset is 6db you can't get lower as you can't specify in the cards eeprom lower value than 0.Still cannot go lower than 6dB TX Power on RB922UAGS-5HPacD so have to stay on 6.19 where it is possible to go to 0. Will you guys fix it? Or nobody else having the problem?
But I use an IP address?Because you can't use FQDN with main mode. You need aggressive mode.
Look at the ticket 2014110466000957. And just for your information, I bricked another CCR in the wild right now.We have tested CCR routers in many combinations of RouterOS and firmware.

Sorry, it is my mistake. I used just reboot item, not system -> pakeges -> downgradeand what's in Log? what exactly you do to downgrade?Also downgrading downgrading does not work. Device just reeboting but after still have ros 2.21.1
Not true, I'm affraid. This config (I'd say it's the most basic one) worked fine for years:*) fixed 6to4 tunnels having inactive routes;
/interface 6to4 add local-address=213.211.xx.xx mtu=1480 name=6to4 /ipv6 address add address=2002:d5d3:xxxx::1/16 advertise=no interface=6to4 add address=2002:d5d3:xxxx:80::1 interface=internal /ipv6 route add distance=1 dst-address=2000::/3 gateway=::192.88.99.1%6to4But after upgrade from 6.19 to 6.21.1, routes do not work, both 2000::/3 and 2002::/16 claim to be unreachable:
0 S dst-address=2000::/3 gateway=::192.88.99.1%6to4 gateway-status=::192.88.99.1%6to4 unreachable distance=1 scope=30 target-scope=10 1 ADC dst-address=2002::/16 gateway=6to4 gateway-status=6to4 unreachable distance=0 scope=10 2 ADC dst-address=2002:d5d3:xxxx:80::/64 gateway=internal gateway-status=internal reachable distance=0 scope=10So back to 6.19 and it works again.
So does that mean with 6dB tx power the real output is also 6dB? If yes the maximum antenna gain connected legally to this device could only be 24dB in my country where 1W EIRP (30dBm) is allowed? Or what does this offset really mean?In older RouterOS version the the 6db tx-power offset was not taken into the account. This problem is now fixed in latest RouterOS releases where it uses the correct tx-power value. Since the offset is 6db you can't get lower as you can't specify in the cards eeprom lower value than 0.Still cannot go lower than 6dB TX Power on RB922UAGS-5HPacD so have to stay on 6.19 where it is possible to go to 0. Will you guys fix it? Or nobody else having the problem?
Email support, seems like the same problem I linked inOn my RB1100AHx2 I got 40-60% unclassified CPU usage after upgrade (in idle).
Downgrade to 6.20 brings it down to 0 - 0.2%.
On other single core Atheros based boards, everything seems fine (750GL, 951G, Omnitik, CRS-125).
Same problem with same router, but with firmware 3.19. rebooted randomly after few minutes/hours after update. I just downgraded to 6.19 same day and reported to mikrotik support. waiting for an answer... Also I never could use microsd cards with this router, sometimes is recognized, sometimes nto, sometimes I can format it, sometimes not. latest firmware doesn't repair this problem and I don't have any valid response from support. is my ccr defective? usb disks can be used without any problemCCR1009-8G-1S-1S+
firmware 3.13
After uprade to 6.21.1 reboots several times during the day without any messeges in log`s
Great release guys. Are you even tried to test this befor releasing?
my measurement says that the real card output is about 2.0-2.5dBm on each connector when set to 6dBm (ROS 6.20). The offset is only for new wireless chipsets I think.So does that mean with 6dB tx power the real output is also 6dB? If yes the maximum antenna gain connected legally to this device could only be 24dB in my country where 1W EIRP (30dBm) is allowed? Or what does this offset really mean?
And is this valid only for AC boards or also older N boards?
Thanks
it is fixed in the new v6.22, please wait until we release itProfiler permanently shows 'DNS' CPU usage over 80% and DNS resolver stops resolving after few hours.
The offset isn't used on all the new chipset boards.my measurement says that the real card output is about 2.0-2.5dBm on each connector when set to 6dBm (ROS 6.20).

I have same problem with 6.21.1 and RB2011UAS-2HnD.On my RB1100AHx2 I got 40-60% unclassified CPU usage after upgrade (in idle).
Downgrade to 6.20 brings it down to 0 - 0.2%.

Please do sufficient test, before the release.
Could you please write to out support email with description of this problem? Simple upgrade seems to be working fine. Maybe problem is caused by your specific configuration or version from which you did upgrade these devices. Please send supout file together with configuration of wireless interface. Also mention versions from which you did upgrade these devices.I upgraded our routers (all either 6.19 or 6.20).. worked fine but 3/4 of our omnitiks lost their wireless card configuration. When booting the wlan1 is gone and wlan2 now apears (there's only 1 wireless card in an omnitik) but is disabled and set to defaults. I restored from backup's but this is the only glitch I've had in 5 years of upgrading routerboards. My advice is if you are upgrading an omnitik, backup your wireless config and check anywhere (routing, IP's, etc) where the interface is listed.
I have the same on on Omnitik with 6.21.1.I have same problem with 6.21.1 and RB2011UAS-2HnD.On my RB1100AHx2 I got 40-60% unclassified CPU usage after upgrade (in idle).
Downgrade to 6.20 brings it down to 0 - 0.2%.
After reboot all is ok, but after few hours unclassified CPU usage increases to 100% and performance of the router decreasing with packet loss.
Well, that's all nicely said and basically true. But when you have automated update script or developed a habit to update directly from the MT servers you do get at times nasty surprises. I have been updating new client units (to prepare them, or just was thinking them to upgrade from an older version to what I considered to be the latest stable) and found to my surprise the version number was already higher again that what I'd expected. So far never had big problems because of that since usually I perform such act first on new to be configured CPE's only. But its sod's law, when a probably disaster is lurking around the corner, one day it will hit you.....Hey guys, let's have a simple reality check for a moment.
If you download/upgrade any new ROS and deploy it...You essentially become the "Beta" tester, eh?
So far, I don't believe that MikroTik is requiring anyone to upgrade to a newer version of the software. So if the current version is working, then probably you should leave it alone.

The separate 'Beta Program' speaking differently.Actually MT should only allow new releases with permanent version number ready in their download (for auto upgrade) section when they are approved by many clients and at least are around for a month or so. Any other version, no matter how good they think it is, should be not considered to be 'definite and final stable version' before its really proven in 99% of the cases it works.....
Same here. Mikrotik staff must be surprised again.Since version 6.21.1 I get random reboots with my RB1100AHx2. Had to downgrade to 6.20 again.
Please send us supout.rif file from both these routers, keema and bramfmSame here. Mikrotik staff must be surprised again.Since version 6.21.1 I get random reboots with my RB1100AHx2. Had to downgrade to 6.20 again.

Agreed 100%. Regarding supouts Normis. I cannot send it anymore as I have already downgraded my 1100AH2 to 6.20. Don't you have a piece on stock where your testers can try? They should have done it before. I have no special config of this router.I realize this is off topic... But Normis, please hear my thoughts.
This is crazy with the bugs being introduced. I too am experiencing random reboots on 1100 hardware, as well as CCR. No "custom" scripting or complicated configurations. No userman, no hotspot, etc.
I don't have the time/ability to make supout files and send them and track progress etc.
-- I AM NOT A BETA TESTER --
There is a serious problem with your release methods for new firmware, and it needs to be addressed/organized better.
Right now it feels like your developers are guessing trying to patch bugs and release firmware in a hurry, and thus introducing more/bigger bugs. There needs to be a proper Alpha, Beta, Stable firmware flow, and right now there isn't.
My advice
====================
1) Introduce a PROPER firmware flow. ALPHA = v7 BETA = v6 STABLE =v5
2) Make ALPHA/BETA the same as Ubnt does. Only certain people who have accepted/approved can access the BETA files. Everyone else only sees STABLE.
3) NOTHING gets released to STABLE until completely cleared for at least a couple months.
This is a normal flow for any software company (That knows what they are doing anyway).
However Mikrotik has introduced one BIG FATAL mistake that breaks this...
-- You have produced hardware, that depends on BETA firmware!! -- (CCR, CRS, some 2011, etc that NEED v6)
THIS IS A BIG BIG BIG NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't want CCR in my hands when it can only run BETA firmware!
I don't want CRS in my hands when it can only run BETA firmware!
I want you to MARK your new firmware as BETA, so people understand the most recent is NOT THE BEST!
I want you to STOP producing new hardware that requires BETA firmware to operate! Make it work on the STABLE firmware first, or don't produce/release it!
This was your absolute biggest mistake. v5 was stable, and is stable, and works nearly flawlessly for what it promises, but I can't run it on everything, otherwise I WOULD!
This is very frustrating Normis, Mikrotik is the only company that does software development that I have ever seen work in such a backwards fashion. Again, even Ubnt can get this right. (And that is not a nice thing to say, because they can't get a lot of things right)
when you have such a situation, make supout.rif, then downgrade. shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to make the file.
I would like to. I tried several times but it had never finished.when you have such a situation, make supout.rif, then downgrade. shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to make the file.
Normis,please, has at least one of you contacted support about this? we can't fix it, if we can't see the problem

Don't apologize m8. It's Mikrotik who should be apologizing... but you wont live to see that. You didn't just say what was already said in this thread. The same thing has been posted in almost every thread announcing a new RoS release since v.5x. Nothing has changed and I doubt anything will.Normis?
Clearly you can see I'm not the only one who thinks this.
There is a real problem that needs to be solved with MT's methods of releasing firmware.
MT also needs to absolutely STOP releasing hardware that is dependent on BETA level firmware (v6 is BETA, don't even try calling it stable). This really screwed a lot of users! If I could run my CCR on v5, I would gladly do it.
People in our market need our products to WORK without stopping. Performance is "nice" but not the major issue. When the routers are rebooting and jamming etc... They are one thing = GARBAGE!
I have worked with many vendors, as well as software developers. I have *NEVER* seen such an unorganized disaster as Mikrotik's firmware methods. You guys need to clean up your procedures, and have proper ALPHA/BETA/STABLE groups. This way the people who want to play with BETA can do it and are aware of it, and the ones who want to use stable can stick with stable and not worry.
Right now you don't even have stable (6 is not stable, please never never call it stable, it is not stable. It is untested guessing.).
6 needs to be frozen feature-wise, and stabilized. Nothing else added or changed. Make your NV2 changes and improvements etc on v7 or something else.
Sorry I am just echoing the same thing I said before, but it is simple common sense, and I don't understand why Mikrotik can't see the current system is unacceptable.
With due respect, Mikrotik must implement the appropiate test suites to see the problem before clients face it. Full stop.please, has at least one of you contacted support about this? we can't fix it, if we can't see the problem
