If you experience version related issues, then please send supout file from your router to support@mikrotik.com. File must be generated while router is not working as suspected or after some problem has appeared on deviceAfter upgrade my Hex S. No firewall rules, no CAP access list, etc Connention via VPN very slow.
I will check more if I return to home.
In my case, something like this happened for the first time.
What I should do now?
I have backup from 6.43.4
What's new in 6.43.6 (2018-Nov-07 10:40):
(factory only release)
What's new in 6.43.5 (2018-Oct-25 12:37):
(factory only release)
It has become a rather common situation lately.Just wondering why two versions have been skipped? Never seen that before
Maybe an easier implementation would be to have a "previous" channel in addition to the "current" or change the "development" channel into that.pe1chl - Thank you for an idea. However, at the moment you can only use fetch command in order to download necessary packages for your router.
Have done that already.raymondr15, E1uSiV3 - Please send supout file from your router to support@mikrotik.com
Any simple way to get URLs of necessary packages? There's only ZIP link on Downloads pageYou can always use "Fetch" and download packages from our download servers
I was planning to do a script that does /system package print to list the installed packages and then download the required packages.Any simple way to get URLs of necessary packages? There's only ZIP link on Downloads pageYou can always use "Fetch" and download packages from our download servers
http://upgrade.mikrotik.com/routeros/[VERSION]/[PACKAGE]-[VERSION]-[ARCH].npk
/tool fetch url="(like above)"
That you can upgrade to a different version than the newest one in each channel from inside RouterOS, i.e. without using an external PC to download the package from Mikrotik's web and upload it to the device.what is the benefit of doing it manual by script /fetch in contrast to /system/package/upgrade ?
That is why you have a LTS version. LTS is the latest production ready stable release.Today I wanted to upgrade some production routers to 6.43.4 after having tested it at some less critical sites and
found that the stable version has just been updated to 6.43.7
Normally I do not want to upgrade production routers to a version released an hour ago.
I know it is possible to upload an arbitrary version manually, but still it would be great when the "Check for Updates" screen
had the option to select a particular version within the selected channel, so in this case I could select 6.43.4 and
do the "download and install" to that version.
The lts channel is a safe bet, but I don't think that's entirely accurate. The stable releases have a lot more features and fixes that may not make it to lts, so in some cases it makes sense to go with it over lts. For example, I had issues with 6.40 lts with my config, whereas the 6.42+ stable releases work perfectly...That is why you have a LTS version.

The Mikrotik "Stable" version is not always stable. Staying a few versions behind in the "Stable" track is also not done as even that version can have many issues, security or otherwise.
LTS should be used for a production network as "Stable" is not nowhere stable enough for a production network
I understand what you are saying, but if you're using Mikrotik for your business critical systems or core, then imo you stay with LTS and the feature set it provides. If you go to the "stable" version, you accept that you can (and will imho) have issues.The lts channel is a safe bet, but I don't think that's entirely accurate.

If you don't have any major issues that are specifically getting address by a particular release, it's not a bad idea to wait a couple weeks to see what the feedback is and decide from there - this goes for any software, from any company(not just mikrotik).
Judging from the responses of this thread, I think I'll stick with 6.43.4 for now..
That is not the point. Even with the LTS version there are issues that become apparent when it is released. The point isThat is why you have a LTS version.

Since upgrading from 6.43.4 to 6.43.7 on all of my MikroTik devices, API-SSL does not work. my management system keeps telling me my devices are down as It cannot login to any of the devices via API-SSL, I haven't tested plain API as I don't use it due to security reasons. I don't see any logs of failed logins on the devices either but every now and then a login does succeed.
No, I was already reluctantly trying 6.43.7pe1chl - We have had major changes regarding IPsec in v6.44. Have you tried this version where problem might be fixed already?
I tried to reproduce it at home but it does not happen here. Now I notice that here I am using winbox 3.18 but at work I still have winbox 3.15...pe1chl - Can you provide screen shot? I do not see such problem when I try to do the same thing on my router
I have two RB750gr3 devices both on PPPoE WAN connection (on eth1 of course) and both survived 6.43.4 -> 6.43.7 without this issue. Do you have anything selected on Interfaces -> Detect Internet -> Detect Interface List? I have this option set to none. I have some vague memory of "detect internet" feature doing its' job by means of dhcp client in some cases...After updating a RB3011 to 6.43.7 we lost connection, went to the site and after debugging and checking I discovered that there was a new dhcp-client at the config pointing to eth1 that wasn't there before update.
In our case on eth1 we have our internet-provider router bridged connected via PPPoE, with PPPoEclient at our mikrotik, but this router also serves IP, so with this new DHCP-client it got also IP and the updates mkt was sending traffic to this gw instead of the PPPoE client gw.
I updated a RB750gr3 with the same issue, it has a new dhcp-client activated on eth1.
I don't undersantd why there is a new dhcp-client added!
