What changes in RouterOS 7.24.5?

The release introduces several targeted fixes. On the stability front, it resolves issues with the loss of PoE-out functionality on the CRS328-24P-4S+ model after a reboot and improves Ethernet stability on hAP be3 Media. Regarding regressions, it restores the correct behavior of the scheduler for scripts with a default date/time (an issue introduced in v7.24) and fixes the console output for the /system/identity/print command, which was being split across multiple lines (introduced in v7.24.3). Additionally, it disables the IP binding table for DHCP snooping on bridges (behavior introduced in v7.24) and enables hardware VLAN offloading on hAP be3 Media. It also includes fixes for OSPF, where unset parameters in templates were not being applied to interfaces, and improvements to the stability of the LTE modem in MBIM mode. Finally, the regulatory information for Wi-Fi radios has been updated.

Who should update (or not)?

All users utilizing the “stable” channel should plan to upgrade to 7.24.5 to benefit from the stability and security fixes. In particular, those owning hAP be3 Media or CRS328-24P-4S+ models have a specific reason to upgrade due to the dedicated hardware fixes. Users on “testing” or “development” channels should not consider this release as a reference for production, but should monitor the stable channel for any residual issues.

How to update (or remediate) safely?

Before proceeding with the upgrade to RouterOS 7.24.5, it is fundamental to create a backup or an export file and save it to an external storage device. Ensure that the device does not lose power during the update process and verify that there is sufficient free storage space to download all RouterOS packages. To update, access the System/Packages menu in the configuration interface, select the “stable” channel, and click “Check For Updates”. Alternatively, you can download the packages from the official MikroTik download page.
