How do you update RouterOS to the latest stable version?

• A. System > Packages > Check for Updates, select stable channel, download and install, then reboot.
• B. System > Packages > Check for Updates, select beta channel, download and install, then reboot.
• C. System > Reboot, then check for updates.
• D. Packages > Update, then choose developer channel.

Answer: (A)

Updating RouterOS to the latest stable version uses the package updater and the stable channel. In RouterOS, you go to System > Packages > Check for Updates, select the stable channel, download and install the updates, and then reboot so the new software takes effect. The beta or developer channels contain preview or unstable builds, which is why they aren’t the right choice when you want a stable release. Simply rebooting won’t fetch new updates, so you need to go through the update process with the stable channel to get the official, tested version.
