MikroTik Gateway Update

This guide walks you through updating RouterOS packages and the RouterBOARD (firmware/“BIOS”) using the WebFig interface.

Prerequisites​

  • Admin access (username & password)
  • The gateway’s IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.1)

1. Update RouterOS Software​

  1. Open your browser and enter the gateway’s IP address.
  2. Log in with your administrator credentials.

  1. Go to WebFig → in the left menu open System → Packages.

  1. Click Check For Updates (top-left).
  2. When a new version is available, click Download & Install.

2. Update RouterBOARD (Firmware/“BIOS”)​

  1. In the left menu, open System → RouterBOARD.
  2. Check whether a new firmware version is available — you can compare Current Firmware with Upgrade Firmware.

  1. If an upgrade is available, click Upgrade.

3. Reboot to Apply Firmware​

  1. In the left menu, open System → Reboot.
  2. Confirm the reboot to apply the RouterBOARD firmware upgrade.
  3. Wait for the device to come back online, then log in again.

4. Verify the Update​

  1. System → Packages:
    • Click Check For Updates — it should now report up to date (both versions should match).
  2. System → RouterBOARD:
    • Confirm that Current Firmware now matches Upgrade Firmware — meaning the firmware is successfully updated.

✅ The gateway is now fully updated and running the latest RouterOS and firmware versions.
