The above method was how to upgrade router firmware through automatic winbox. Finally, the router will take a reboot and after 4-5 minutes it will restart again. The automatic installation will be done when the download is finished. To upgrade the router package first go to System>Packages>Check For Updates>Download & Install. Then the router package should be upgraded. So first you need to log in to your Mikrotik router with a username & password. I would recommend you use the Winbox method for a router upgrade. Today I will show you how to update Mikrotik RouterOS in the easiest way. The 3 ways through which you can upgrade Mikrotik RouterOS are given below. Generally, the Mikrotik router can be upgraded to 3-way.

If your router's OS is OLD, then when you log in to your router with mobile, your router will notify you to update RouterOS. Also, if there are any bugs in the previous version, they will be filled in the new version. The original file on the device was routeros-mipsbe-6.42.3.npk.If you do Router Upgradation then you will get many new features. The file I grabbed was routeros-mipsbe-6.42.5.npk. All others do not appear to contain a package file in their files list so I am assuming the primary wlc pushes the upgrade to the others? Haven't been able to find any documentation which confirms this. I also tried the upgrade through system/packages to the new version 6.42.7 and it downloaded but again, the system is not upgraded.Īm I missing something here? The only device with the package file is the primary wlc. I tried upgrading the routerboard as well with no luck. It did not come up on the new version but stayed on 6.42.3. Then, as per the instructions, I rebooted the box. Last night I downloaded the version from the MikroTik website and, using winbox, transferred it to the files area. This based on some reading I did on forums where the newer version corrected some issues we seem to be having. Using instructions I found on a couple of internet sites including the MikroTik site, I am trying to upgrade these from their current 6.42.3 to 6.42.5. I am able to connect to all devices either via https/http, ssh and winbox. All are attached via ethernet cables to cisco core switches.

I have 2 RouterBOARD 3011UiAS acting as WLC's and 12 AP's hap ac RouterBOARD 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT.
