MikroTik Firmware Upgrade Manager
Safe RouterOS Upgrades Across Your Fleet

Upgrade RouterOS and RouterBOOT on one router or thousands from MikroWizard. The v2.1.0 engine verifies packages against MikroTik’s official SHA256 hashes, checks free storage first and keeps track of every device through restarts. Pro adds a multi-step path for upgrading older routers from v6 to v7.

RouterOS v6 to v7 Upgrades, Planned Step by Step

In Pro, older routers follow a safe path: latest v6, then 7.12.1, then 7.13 or newer. In both editions MikroWizard checks package names for each architecture and confirms the result after the reboot.

  • ✓ Pro: multi-step path latest v6 → 7.12.1 → 7.13+.
  • ✓ Packages verified against MikroTik’s official SHA256 hashes.
  • ✓ Free storage checked before upload; RouterBOOT upgraded after the OS.

Pick the update mode and the version source for each run, from a single router, a device group or a scheduled task.

  • ✓ Modes: full (RouterOS + RouterBOOT), OS only, packages only, or bootloader only.
  • ✓ Sources: your local repository (no router internet access needed), MikroTik’s servers directly, a specific version, or Auto-Pilot latest.
  • ✓ Device group upgrades have the same options as single devices.
Built to never leave a router halfway

Restart-Safe and Retry-Aware

Upgrade progress is tracked per device, so you always know where every router stands.

Restart-safe progress

Progress is stored per device. A service restart never loses track of an upgrade or leaves a router halfway.

Maximum Update Retries

Set 1 to 5 retries (default 2) to prevent reboot loops.

Live status

Updating, Rebooting, Updated and Failed badges, inline Retry and Clear, and a Failed quick filter.

WAN-friendly uploads

Upload concurrency scales from 8 to 35 parallel transfers with fleet size.

Local firmware repository

Download packages once to the MikroWizard repository, with an architecture filter, and push them to routers.

Scheduled upgrades

Run firmware upgrades from the task planner on a schedule.

Pro safety rules

Extra Protection for Wireless and Large Networks

Pro adds rules for the cases that cause the most outages.

Latest Cloud channel

Upgrade to the newest release on the stable, long-term, testing or development channel from devices, groups and scheduled tasks.

PtP safe ordering

On point-to-point wireless links, stations are upgraded before their access points so the remote end keeps its link.

v6 to v7 package checks

Automatic v6 to v7 upgrades are refused when packages that do not migrate, such as multicast or user-manager, are installed.

Wireless packages across 7.13

The right wireless packages (wifi-qcom, wifi-qcom-ac) are installed across the 7.13 package split.
