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overview page, consistent section intros, getting-started links, reciprocal CAPsMAN cross-references, and removal of outdated version notes.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.

  • IPv6 Settings: Fixed the broken Fast Path link to point to the Packet Flow documentation. Simplified the reboot note to remove redundant wording.
  • IPv4 Firewall Filter: Fixed the ICMP reject-with parameter — it previously referenced ICMPv6 error types (ICMP type 1) and now correctly shows the IPv4 ICMP type 3 values with proper error descriptions. Added the tcp-reset description (sends a TCP segment with the RST flag set). Expanded connection-nat-state to document the ein-snat and ein-dnat values for endpoint-independent NAT.
  • IPv4 Firewall Mangle: Fixed fasttrack-connection description ("shows fasttrack counters" → "mark the connection for FastTrack"). Fixed "ets" → "Sets" typo in new-priority. Fixed trailing double period in mark-routing description. Consistently updated rst TCP flag description from "drop connection" to "reset connection" across all firewall tables.
  • IPv6 Firewall Filter: Expanded the reject-with parameter with detailed descriptions of each ICMPv6 error type and their corresponding ICMP type/code values, along with a link to the IANA ICMPv6 parameters registry.
  • Disk: Fixed self-encryption flag descriptions — removed the redundant "tcg-opal-" prefix from the displayed flag names.
  • IP Settings: Added a security warning to accept-source-route noting that accepting source-routed packets is a spoofing risk. Reformatted the rp-filter options into a proper bullet list and clarified that strict mode causes problems with asymmetric/VPN routing. Fixed the broken Fast Path link.

Fixed "NPLRI" → "NLRI" in the output.no-early-cut description. Corrected "RDs form" → "RDs from" in the EVPN rd parameter.
  • OSPF: Corrected the default network type descriptions for ptp interfaces from "point-to-point" to the proper "ptp" value, and added missing periods in action descriptions.
  • RIP: Fixed swapped descriptions between route-timeout and update-interval — the timeout description was incorrectly assigned to the update-interval parameter. Added a missing period in originate-default.
  • Routing Filter: Removed unhelpful "ask Google" note from the communities parameter description.
  • Router ID: Added the missing only-static option to the Router ID selection documentation, which picks only statically configured addresses.
  • Fantasy Routing: Fixed "refix length" typo → "Prefix length" in the prefix-length parameter description.
  • PIM-SM: Integrated the previously out-of-place spt-bit flag description into the proper ArgTableRow, so it renders correctly alongside other flags instead of floating as plain text.

Developer Guides

  • Scripting: Fixed the form feed escape character hex value (\f was incorrectly listed as 0xFF, corrected to 0x0C). Fixed the :resolve command example (port=server-port=). Cleaned up trailing whitespace and inconsistent indentation across code examples.

  • REST API: Fixed the GET filter example description filter ("valid addresses" → "dynamic addresses"). Corrected the POST documentation to state that command words are encoded in the URL (not the header). Fixed .proplist example (was incorrectly using _proplist). Fixed several example calls to use HTTPS and corrected the numbernumbers parameter typo in the LTE firmware upgrade example. Fixed the REST API index description to remove the redundant "Developer guides cover" prefix.
  • Python3 API Example: Fixed "Becasue" → "Because" typo and "pasword" → "password" typo. Fixed indentation of argument parsing code that was broken.

Containers

  • Available Apps: New page added listing over 100 available container applications deployable from the RouterOS App menu, covering categories such as home automation, media servers, file sharing, network monitoring, and development tools.
