MikroTik FAQ & Best Practices
How to safely update RouterOS without losing configurations?
Always generate a binary backup (/system backup save) and export an unencrypted script (/export file=myconfig) before updating. Use the Stable release channel in WinBox via System -> Packages -> Check for Updates.
What is the difference between RouterOS v6 and v7?
RouterOS v7 uses a modern Linux 5.6 kernel, introducing WireGuard VPN support, rewritten BGP routing engine (faster convergence and multi-threading), OpenVPN UDP, dynamic routing improvements, and enhanced hardware offloading.
How to perform initial RouterBOARD hardening?
Disable unused IP services (Telnet, FTP, WWW, API), restrict Winbox and SSH access to management subnets in IP -> Services, disable MAC-Server on WAN interfaces, and enforce strong admin passwords.
