When upgrading RouterOS, you can choose a release chain from which to install the new packages.
RouterOS versions are released in several "release chains": Long-term, Stable and Beta. Therefore v5.2 is older than v5.18, which is newer. An identifier of 2.5, for instance, is not "two and a half" or "half way to version three", it is the fifth second-level revision of the second first-level revision. RouterOS versions are numbered sequentially when a period is used to separate sequences, it does not represent a decimal point, and the sequences do not have positional significance. The upgrade procedure on already installed devices is straight forward. RouterOS will ask for upgrade confirmation, click on "yes".MikroTik devices are preinstalled with RouterOS, so installation is usually not needed, except in the case where installing RouterOS on an x86 PC.

New window "Routerboard" will pop up, where you can see current and latest available firmware. Open Winbox and go to "System/Routerboard" menu (step 1 and 2 from image below). Next step after the RouterOS upgrade is firmware (bootloader) upgrade. If you clicked on "Download" button then you will need to reboot router manually to complete installation, but if "download&Upgrade" was clicked then router will reboot automatically after files are downloaded. Click on "Download" or "Download&Upgrade" button.Īfter download is complete you will see in status bar message that Download was successful. New window "Check For Updates" will open, where you will be able to see currently installed version and latest available version as well as latest available Changelog. Click on "Check for Updates" button (step 3 in the image) go to "System/Packages" menu (Step 1 and 2 from image below). Simply click “Check for updates” in QuickSet, Webfig or Winbox packages menu.
