In this How-To section we will show you how to upgrade your RouterBoard's BIOS firmware version. See also how to upgrade RouterOS version.

At first, check if you have a routerboard package installed:

[admin@MikroTik] system package> print
Flags: I - invalid
 #   NAME             VERSION      BUILD-TIME       UNINSTALL
 0   routerboard      2.8.14   aug/06/2004 15:30:32   no
 1   security         2.8.14   aug/06/2004 14:08:54   no
 2   system           2.8.14   aug/06/2004 14:03:02   no
 3   advanced-tools   2.8.14   aug/06/2004 14:04:55   no
 4   wireless         2.8.14   aug/06/2004 14:42:17   no
[admin@MikroTik] system package>

Check your RouterBoard BIOS version:

[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard> print
         routerboard: yes
               model: 230
       serial-number: 8387617
    current-firmware: 1.3.1 (Aug/06/2004 15:30:19)
    upgrade-firmware: 1.3.1 (Aug/06/2004 15:30:19)
[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard>

Check for the newest BIOS update in the all packages archive available from our download page. BIOS update file is called wlb-bios-[version_number].fwf where version_number is the version of BIOS firmware.

If this file contains a newer version than your router has, copy it to router via FTP using the binary file transfer mode. When done, you should see the file, containing BIOS firmware in the file list:

[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard> /file print
 # NAME                TYPE         SIZE     CREATION-TIME
 0 wlb-bios-1.3.2.fwf  routerbios   73079    sep/07/2004 00:12:05
[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard>

Check the RouterBoard's BIOS firmware version and you should see that you can upgrade it to a newer version (1.3.2):

  [admin@MikroTik] system routerboard> print
         routerboard: yes
               model: 230
       serial-number: 8387617
    current-firmware: 1.3.1 (Aug/06/2004 15:30:19)
    upgrade-firmware: 1.3.2 (Aug/22/2004 12:13:56)
[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard>

Now you can upgrade the BIOS version, using the upgrade command:

[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard> upgrade
Firmware upgrade requires reboot of the router. Continue? [y/n]

Choose y and the software will upgrade BIOS, don't restart the router manually - it will be done automatically! When router has rebooted, check the new BIOS version:

[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard> print
         routerboard: yes
               model: 230
       serial-number: 8387617
    current-firmware: 1.3.2 (Aug/22/2004 12:13:56)
    upgrade-firmware: 1.3.2 (Aug/22/2004 12:13:56)
[admin@MikroTik] system routerboard>
