MikroTik introduces the next generation CPE device, the RouterBOARD 411. It’s the successor to the RouterBOARD 133c, using the same form factor but it is much more powerful. Initial tests indicate that the throughput is up to 3 times of the old RB133c. This is the first RouterBOARD to use the new line of Atheros CPU’s, the Atheros AR7130 running at 300MHz.
MikroTik RouterOS 3.0 rc12 is released today, what’s new:
*) added support for MPLS & VPLS;
*) added ability to specify & disable winbox port under “/ip services”;
*) fixed bug - DFS was not taking into account channel usage when
selecting channel;
*) fixed bug - simultaneously monitoring wireless interface and changing
settings could cause crash;
*) improved memory usage under RB133C;
*) fixed bug - MAC Winbox connection was not very stable;
*) fixed bug in graphing;
*) fixed problem - routerboard sometimes did not upgrade & reboot
if serial cable was not plugged in;
*) interface routing now works with PPPoE ‘dial-on-demand’ interfaces;
*) fixed dial-on-demand;
*) routing - fixed ’set-in-nexthop’ filter (broken in 3.0rc7);
*) implemented more registered client flushing on access-list and
connect-list changes - now connect-list changes disconnect
affected APs, wildcard mac address entry changes disconnect all
clients;
*) fixed bug - Windows could not synchronize to NTP server if local
clock was used as time source (changed stratum from 6 to 4);

*) updated WinBox Loader to v2.2.12 - clicking on IP address in
router discovery list selects ip address not mac address;
*) added ‘/tool sms send’ in advanced-tools package;
*) fixed problem - PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP could restart if user disconnected
at wrong time;
*) fixed problem - PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP static server interfaces

*) fixed problem - L2TP sometimes could not establish connections through
firewall or with Windows;
*) bgp - fixed TCP MD5 authentication on RB300;
*) fixed bug - route did not work with Level 1 license and routing package enabled;
*) api - ‘/quit’ command now immediately terminates session;
*) console:
‘and’ operator in expressions that follow ‘find’ and ‘print where’
now is optional, pre-rc9 syntax ‘find mtu=1480 type=ether’ works
as it used to;
added back filters to firewall print commands, filtering by chain
now is ‘print chain=input’ instead of ‘print input’;
fixed ‘print count-only’, it was ignoring any additional ‘print’ arguments
that selected only part of items;

*) fixed problem - RouterOS did not boot on some routers
(reported disk not found);
*) fixed dns resolver - sometimes could not parse packets with AAAA records;
*) hide ppp interface & wireless passwords and keys in WinBox as well;
*) fixed traffic-flow - could hang multi cpu router and ignore targets sometimes;
*) fixed rb100 - ethernets could be set at random bandwidth limit after reboot;
*) console:
repaint whole screen after terminal size change while in editor
(same as pressing F5 or Ctrl-L). this solves numerous issues with
terminal resizing;
added more workarounds for the case when terminal is too narrow
(<4 characters);
now logical operators ‘&&’ and ‘||’ can also be written as ‘and’ and ‘or’;
removed ‘where’ and ‘from’ arguments of find command. now find command
can be followed by arbitrary expression that can use item properties,
e.g. “find dst-address in 192.168.0.0/16 and interface=wlan1″;
added ‘where’ argument to print command. “print where <expr>” and
“print from=[find <expr>]” are equal;
removed filters from firewall print commands, now write, e.g.,
“/ip firewall filter print where !dynamic” instead of
“/ip firewall filter print static”;
*) web proxy: fixed crash on stopping proxy;
