requirements
In this article we assume the following:
- that you have some sort of PC which has internet access
- that on this PC you have installed some archive utility that can extract *.zip files
- that you have installed an FTP program that can transfer files to your router
- that your license allows upgrading
- Upgrade means changing majour versions (adds new features), Update means chaning minor versions (patches issues). This article applies to both
upgrade process
- First step - visit www.mikrotik.com and head to the download page, there choose the latest version for your system. If you have a RouterBOARD 500 or 100 series device, choose the file from the first column (RB icon), if not, choose the second column (PC icon):
- Download the Single Package for Upgrade, it will include all the functionality of RouterOS:
- In this image we use the program WinRAR, but your extraction process may be a little different:
- Open your favourite FTP program (in this case it is Filezilla), select the package and upload it to your router (demo2.mt.lv is the address of my router in this example).
- if you wish, you can check if the file are successfully transfered onto the router (optional):

- and reboot your router for the upgrade process to begin:
[normis@Demo_v2.9] > system reboot Reboot, yes? [y/N]: y
- after the reboot, your router will be up to date, you can check it in this menu:
/system package print
- if your router did not upgrade correctly, make sure you check the log
/log print without-paging
