Documentation updates - June 3, 2026

Summary of documentation changes made on June 3, 2026.

Authentication & AAA

  • Certificates: Updated ACME examples so Let's Encrypt certificate generation uses the default directory URL when directory-url is omitted.
  • Certificates: Added wiliot and logging as supported values for trust-store and builtin-trust-store certificate settings.

Developer Guides

  • REST API: Clarified HTTP and HTTPS access through the www and www-ssl services and added links to the IP Service and Certificate documentation.

Mobile Networking

  • LTE/5G: Added offline FOTA/DFOTA modem firmware upgrade guidance, including firmware-file examples for local files and HTTP URLs, modem compatibility tables, and safety warnings.

Network Management

  • DNS: Added DNS over HTTPS notes for using the built-in certificate authority store and HTTP/2 negotiation on ARM64, x86, and CHR devices.

System

  • Fetch: Added the ip-type parameter, which specifies whether to prefer IPv4 or IPv6 when resolving domain names (any, ipv4, or ipv6).

Introduction

  • Introduction: Expanded with sections on how the documentation is organized, how to find information, the CLI Reference, release notes, reporting mistakes, and machine-readable endpoints for AI tools (/llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, per-page Markdown, /sitemap.xml).

Documentation updates - June 1, 2026

Network Management

  • Reverse Proxy: Added the vrf parameter for selecting the Virtual Routing and Forwarding instance used by a reverse-proxy record. Updated the ip-address property to note that both IPv4 and IPv6 server addresses are now supported (previously IPv4 only).
  • Renamed the IP Services sidebar category to Network Services.

Bridging & Switching

CLI Reference

  • CLI Reference: Added an argument-type reference to the start page. It documents every parameter type the reference uses, including address, enum, num, time, iface_enum, and ipPrefix, so you can interpret the type shown for each command property.
  • CLI Reference: Fixed broken cross-reference links across the section after its folder restructuring, including the bridge links on the BGP page.

Getting Started

  • Netinstall: Consolidated the Netinstall documentation into a single complete guide by removing a duplicate unfinished stub page. Added a clarification to the Linux quick start that the [VERSION] placeholder in the download commands must be replaced with the actual RouterOS version number.

Documentation updates - May 28, 2026

Summary of documentation changes made on May 28, 2026.

Getting Started

  • Getting Started: Added a Quickstart block to the landing page with the four steps to reach a new router's admin interface (browser at 192.168.88.1, WinBox, or the MikroTik mobile app). Notes that the admin password is now printed on the sticker on the router, not blank. First Time Configuration is now pinned to the top of the section.

Storage

  • Storage: Storage is now a dedicated top-level documentation section. Content previously scattered under Extended Features is reorganized into individual pages: iSCSI, NFS, NVMe over TCP, SMB (server and client), RAID, encrypted storage, rsync, ramdisk, tmpfs, self-encrypting drives, and DLNA. Old URLs are preserved via redirects so existing links continue to work.
  • Btrfs: The 860-line Btrfs monolith has been split into four focused pages: overview (intro, features, quickstart), RAID (RAID1, RAID10, device replacement, health-check script), Snapshots (subvolumes, snapshots, transfer), and Maintenance (periodic scrubbing, balance, snapshot rotation, free-space management).

Containers

  • Containers: Containers is now a top-level section (previously nested under Extended Features). Per-app example guides — FreeRADIUS, HAProxy, Home Assistant, Matrix Synapse, Mosquitto, Postgres, Thingsboard — are grouped under a new Examples subsection, keeping the top-level menu to Apps, VETH, and Examples.

Hardware

  • S.M.A.R.T.: S.M.A.R.T. disk health monitoring documentation moved from Storage to Hardware/Disks, where it sits alongside other disk-related content.

Documentation updates - May 27, 2026

Extended Features

  • Container Apps: Added the network-outgoing-access parameter, which controls whether a container app has outbound network access. When set to no, a mangle drop rule is automatically created to block outgoing traffic for that specific container.

Getting Started

  • Backup: Clarified the introductory description — the backup feature saves the router configuration to a binary file (previously described as "cloning"), making the wording more accurate.

Wireless

  • WiFi: Wi-Fi 7 MLO parameters documented — new mld-interface and mld-name parameters enable Multi-Link Operation on Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) hardware. CAPsMAN provisioning gains multi-link-mode and supported-hw-caps. supported-bands extended with 6ghz-ax, 6ghz-be, 2ghz-be.
  • IS-IS documentation updated — corrections, additions, and improved grammar throughout the IS-IS routing protocol page.

Authentication & AAA

  • RADIUS: RadSec behavior clarified — RADIUS server must use radsec as shared secret; RouterOS overrides both the shared secret and port to TCP 2083 when RadSec is enabled, regardless of manual settings.

Network Management

  • SOCKS: user authentication documented/socks/users menu is now fully documented (previously "Work in Progress"). Covers enabling password-based auth (auth-method=password) and managing credentials.
  • VRF documentation updated — VRF page significantly revised with improved structure and cross-reference links.

IP Services

  • DNS: new parameters documentedadd-dns-entries and add-dns-entries-suffix added to the DHCP and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery pages.

Mobile Networking

  • LTE: two parameters documentedesim-channel (auto/AT control channel for eSIM) and link-recovery-timer (seconds before LTE interface reconfigures if not running). Placeholder entries for unreleased features removed.

Getting Started

  • Getting Started section reorganized — images moved, broken links fixed, and cross-references added throughout the Getting Started section.

CLI Reference

  • IPv4/IPv6 address and neighbor parameters added/ip/address, /ipv6/address, /ipv6/nd, and /ipv6/pool now have full parameter descriptions in the CLI Reference.
  • Routing articles: CLI cross-reference links added — all routing documentation pages now link to corresponding CLI Reference entries.

  • Policy routing guide rewritten — cleaner language and better examples throughout. A warning about routing table resolution was corrected to a tip.
  • BGP FAQ updated — additions and corrections to the BGP frequently asked questions page.
  • IS-IS page updated — small fixes and additions.
