Documentation updates - June 15, 2026

Summary of documentation changes made on June 15, 2026.

Authentication & AAA​

  • Certificates: Clarified certificate property descriptions — digest-algorithm is now described as the hash algorithm used to sign the certificate, and invalid-before/invalid-after as the validity start and expiration dates; also corrected key-usage value formatting. Part of broader wording fixes across the dot1x, PPP AAA, RADIUS, and User Manager pages.
  • HotSpot Customisation: Minor corrections to the HotSpot customization guide.

Bridging & Switching​

  • Cannot upgrade SwOS: Added a new troubleshooting guide covering SwOS upgrade failure recovery. Includes step-by-step procedures for SwOS-only devices (CSS106, CSS326, CSS610) using hardware reset to boot into backup firmware, and dual-boot devices (CRS3xx) with serial console recovery, RouterOS CLI upgrade via /system swos upgrade, and device-mode restrictions in RouterOS 7.17+.
  • CRS1xx/2xx series switches: Corrected the unicast FDB capacity wording (up to 16k MAC entries) and jumbo-frame figures. Related fixes on the L3 Hardware Offloading (default values, lpm-usage wording), MACsec example, and VLAN (disabled property description) pages.
  • Bridging & Switching Case Studies: Expanded the SDVoE acronym (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) and corrected VLAN priority values in the IGMP/MLD snooping and related case-study examples.

Containers​

  • Container Apps: Corrected several app descriptions in the available apps list (conduit, mediamanager, prowlarr, webtop) and clarified the network-outgoing-access parameter — when set to no, a mangle drop rule is created. Minor formatting fixes across the HAProxy, Home Assistant, Matrix Synapse, Mosquitto, ThingsBoard, and FreeRADIUS examples.
  • Mosquitto MQTT Server: Fixed a broken Firewall documentation link.

Internet of Things​

  • The Things Stack: Added gateway registration steps for both the legacy UDP scenario and the modern LNS/CUPS (LoRa Basics Station) scenario, including the matching RouterOS configuration and notes on using the built-in trust store for the lora service.

Wireless​

  • Wireless: Reorganized the Wireless section by product/technology family — separate Wi-Fi 6/6E (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and 802.11 a/b/g/n areas — with a device-routing guide on the overview page, consistent section intros, getting-started links, reciprocal CAPsMAN cross-references, and removal of outdated version notes.
  • Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac): Added a warning that wifi-qcom-ac drivers are resource-heavy, recommending the original lightweight wireless drivers for 802.11ac devices.
