MikroTik Firmware

Edit on GitHub

Last updated November 28, 2020 by Brian

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 follow the stable version of RouterOS (6.47.8), which is fairly well-tested, so there is little reason to wait to update after a new version comes out.

Below is a table of the latest firmwares for Mikrotik devices that are in the mesh:

Installing firmware

  • Login to your Mikrotik box Web UI ( CLI if you know how )
  • Go to WebFig > Files section, upload the firmware file
  • Reboot the router
  • The firmware version is visible at the top of the Web UI, watch for the new version

This is an unofficial copy of the NYC Mesh Docs website published and maintained by fabacab on GitHub. There are likely differences, possibly many, between this copy and the official Docs site, but the author prefers this version over the official version. This copy remains here so long as there are major differences between the two copies so that you can read the version that you prefer.
