MikroTik PoE output functionality upgrade RouterOS v5.20



Compatible Routers:
RB750UP & RBOMNITIKUPA5HnD

Upgrade your RouterBoard to RouterOS v5.20 or above:

1. Download the latest stable release for your router here http://www.mikrotik.com/download
2. Drag and drop the RouterOS .npk file into winbox.
3. Reboot router using Winbox (System -> Reboot)




Upgrade RouterBoot (firmware):


[admin@MikroTik] > system routerboard upgrade

[admin@MikroTik] > system reboot



You can see the RouterBoot has been upgraded by issuing the following command in New Terminal:

[admin@MikroTik] > system routerboard print


Once the router has rebooted and the RouterBoot has successfully upgraded you can proceed to upgrade the PoE firmware (This cannot be done in the New Terminal window - as of writing this):

Navigate to System -> Routerboard -> PoE Settings -> Upgrade



Once you have selected yes to upgrade the PoE firmware you need to reboot the system to apply the new firmware:

[admin@MikroTik] > system reboot

    1. If the device has not come back after a reboot and or power cycle and is not visible at all in winbox you may need to perform a netinstall which can be found here:
