What changes in RouterOS 7.23.7?
The main change concerns the LTE interface: this version prevents the system from erroneously deleting the modem firmware. This issue was introduced in release 7.23.6 and affected the RBSXTLTE3-7, EC25-EU&KNe, EG25-G&KNe, EC25-EU&SXTsq, and EG25-G&SXTsq models. MikroTik’s forum announcement specifies that this is the only significant change in this update, focused exclusively on the stability of the mentioned LTE hardware.
Who should update (or not)?
All administrators using the router models listed above who are currently on RouterOS 7.23.6 or 7.24.3 must update urgently. For those using versions prior to 7.23.6, updating is recommended to maintain the stability of the long-term channel, but it is not an emergency. If your device is not among the models mentioned, the impact of this specific fix is nil, but updating to the long-term branch remains the safest choice for production.
How to update (or remediate) safely?
Before proceeding, create a full backup and save it to an external device, ensuring that the router does not lose power during the operation and that there is sufficient space for the packages. If you have already installed 7.23.6 or 7.24.3, follow this exact procedure:
- Update RouterOS to version 7.23.7 (or 7.24.4).
- Run the command to update the modem firmware:
/interface/lte/firmware-upgrade [find] upgrade=yes - Reboot the router.
If you have not experienced the issue, you can simply select the “long-term” channel in the System/Packages menu and click “Check For Updates”.
