Summary of documentation changes made on 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​

• L3 Hardware Offloading: Removed a duplicate 98DX8525 row from the Marvell switch-chip capabilities table.

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.

Summary of documentation changes made on May 29, 2026.

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.

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.

Summary of documentation changes made on 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.

Summary of documentation changes made on May 26, 2026.

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 documented — add-dns-entries and add-dns-entries-suffix added to the DHCP and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery pages.

Mobile Networking​

• LTE: two parameters documented — esim-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.

Summary of documentation changes made on May 25, 2026.

Routing​

• OSPF documentation split into separate pages — reorganized from one large page into focused sections: Understanding OSPF, Neighbour Relationship, Routing Calculation, and Areas & Virtual Links.
• 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.
• Moving from ROSv6 to ROSv7 guide updated — small corrections to the migration guide.

Bridging & Switching​

• Basic VLAN switching guide expanded — more detail and improved formatting in the basic VLAN switching case study.
• CRS1xx/2xx switch examples enhanced — additional content in the CRS series switch configuration examples.
• Spanning Tree Protocol case study improved — more explanation and better formatting.
• WMM and VLAN priority page updated — small corrections and formatting improvements.
• Wireless VLAN trunk case study enhanced — improvements to the wireless VLAN trunk example.

Wireless​

• Wireless interface page improved — general review and cleanup of the legacy wireless interface documentation.

Summary of documentation changes made on May 22, 2026.

Authentication & AAA​

• RADIUS: Clarified the RadSec note — with RadSec enabled, RouterOS forces both the shared secret to radsec and the port to 2083, regardless of what was configured manually.

Getting Started​

• CHR installation: Moved the CHR installation guides (VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V, Vultr, and the other platform walkthroughs) out of the licensing section and into Installation and Upgrade, where the rest of the installation documentation lives.
• RouterOS licensing: Continued the licensing restructure — reworked the overview and MikroTik hardware pages now that installation content has moved out.

Site​

• Sidebar: Curated the documentation sidebar — section ordering and grouping were reworked, and the Wireless case studies page became a proper category with its own landing page.

Summary of documentation changes made on May 21, 2026.

Bridging & Switching​

• Bridging & Switching: Restored the illustrations across the whole Bridge topic — diagrams on the switch chip features, VLAN, QoS, CRS1xx/2xx examples, layer 2 misconfiguration, spanning tree, and wireless VLAN trunk pages now render again.
• Switch chip features: Fixed the feature comparison table footnotes, which previously did not render. The notes on bandwidth limiting in RouterOS v7, Shared VLAN Learning on the 2048-entry host table, and limited Switch menu VLAN support now appear below the table. Several inline "Caution"/"Important" paragraphs were converted into proper admonition blocks.
• Quality of Service: Fixed the broken footnote markers in the switch chip QoS table covering max-fill statistics, current-value reporting, and unavailable statistics on 98CX8410.
• Marvell Prestera switch chip features: Corrected several malformed admonition blocks so the L3 hardware offloading note, the egress-rate/storm-rate hardware limitation on 10Gbps ports, and the switch ACL modification warning display correctly. Also reworded the inter-VLAN routing and DHCP server notes.

Containers​

• Containers: Expanded the stop-signal description to explain that different Linux signals allow graceful shutdown, immediate termination, or application-specific actions, and tidied the memory-max entry.

Summary of documentation changes made on May 20, 2026.

Getting Started​

• RouterOS licensing: Restructured the licensing documentation. The x86 licensing content was merged into a single x86 licensing page instead of a separate sub-page, and the accompanying screenshots were reorganized.

Containers​

• Containers: Documented passing the serial terminal through to a container with devices=serial0:"", including a note that the RouterOS serial console under /system/console must be freed first.

Wireless​

• Nv2: Reorganized the protocol overview into continuous prose by removing redundant sub-headings, and tidied the synchronization and configuration example sections.
• Spectral scan: Corrected the formatting of the range option list and downgraded the unsupported-chipset callout from a danger to a warning admonition.
