They changed the hardware so they, in not ALL cases, are not v6 compatible anymore.
This is mostly due to parts shortages.

I think even some of the v6 compatible routers are now shipping on v7 only hw On Wed, Jun 22, 2022, 9:35 AM Colin Stanners <cstann...@gmail.com<mailto:cstann...@gmail.com>> wrote: I feel like RouterOS V7 is the crux of the "ship first test later" attitude that MikroTik sometimes shows. The RB4011 semi-freezes were a rare problem (bad for people who riskily used them at tower sites, hopefully no one did that...). Forum posts suggest that those issues were fixed through software updates. The CCR2004 random reboots were a bigger issue due to their more core place in infrastructure. Forum posts suggest that those problems have been reduced through software updates but still exist. Given that CCR2116 and CCR2216 share similar Annapurna Labs CPUs, their stability is in question. But those cases pale in comparison to the many V7 issues "OSPF is just decoration" "BGP? Who needs that working?" etc. These would be somewhat acceptable on non-shipping software, but V7 is required on most of the newer routers.

I'd rather stick with older stuff/v6 than have customers complaining about mid day reboots.

We just need a small form factor for some of our towers. Pretty sure my guy checked a few models that were all not in stock. I'll keep that model in mind though!

We have quite a few people who used to buy 4011s now buying 2116s etc, just cause we have stock.

There’s quite a bit of Cambium in stock in the channel. Lots of some UBNT stock and none of a lot of SKUs. Tik is mostly backordered on the most popular switches and routers. Some manufacturers like Adtran and Tarana work allocation to try and keep people moving. If you plan ahead, it’s not that bad mostly.

Like we'll go fairly long stretches with few sales, then a blast of orders will come through. On average we're doing pretty much as expected but on the short term it swings from "how are we ever going to make all of this stuff" to "I hope the orders pick back up since we don't have any more room to store stock". Like I said, we're doing fine on average, it's just that I'm curious what is driving this odd ordering pattern I have talked to a couple of customers and it seems like this might be a side effect of the way WISPs order stuff nowadays, and also shortages from other (radio) vendors. For instance, I would expect that if a WISP can't get radios for their towers they also aren't going to be ordering PoE injectors for the nonexistent radios. I also know that a lot of people have moved to "order several months at once" instead of "order as you go". So I'm curious what everyone is seeing or doing from the WISP viewpoint. -- - Forrest -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY This communication, including any attachments, is intended only for the use of the addressee(s) to this email and is confidential.
