How to update MikroTik?

Updating the RouterOS system on MikroTik routers is usually easy and quick to do.

The option to use DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) servers was introduced in version 6.47 of RouterOS. You can see the changes made in each version on the MikroTik changelogs page.

To perform the update, the router will be restarted.

How to update the RouterOS system of the MikroTik router

Access the web management interface of your MikroTik router, for example 'http://192.168.88.1', and log in.

At the top of the page, click the WebFig button.

In the left menu, access New Terminal. A new window with terminal access will open, where you can use the commands below. The router will restart automatically.

/system package update set channel=long-term;

/system package update install;

If the error "input does not match any value of channel" or the error "syntax error" occurs, replace "long-term" with "bugfix". The term "bugfix" was used in older versions of RouterOS.
