ROS6 vs ROS7 compatibility
Compatibility guide for RouterOS 6 and RouterOS 7 — how to check your version, what works on each, and known limitations.
Check your RouterOS version
In WinBox, go to System → Routerboard and look at the Current Firmware field. Alternatively, open a terminal and run:
MikroTik Terminal
:put [/system resource get version]
If the version starts with 6. you're on ROS6. If it starts with 7. you're on ROS7.
Select the matching version when you add the router in Jasiyo (Routers → Add Router → ROS Version). Getting this wrong is the most common reason setup fails.
Feature comparison
| Feature | ROS6 | ROS7 |
|---|---|---|
| Connecting to Jasiyo | ✅ Supported | ✅ Supported |
| PPPoE customers | ✅ Full support | ✅ Full support |
| Hotspot & captive portal | ✅ Full support | ✅ Full support |
| Vouchers | ✅ Full support | ✅ Full support |
| Speed limits & plan profiles | ✅ Full support | ✅ Full support |
| Guided router setup | ✅ Supported | ✅ Supported |
| HTTPS on older hardware | ⚠️ Occasionally needs attention | ✅ Reliable |
Why the version matters
RouterOS 6 and 7 differ in ways that change how Jasiyo has to talk to your router, so the setup script it gives you is built for the version you selected. Everything after that is automatic.
Pick the wrong version and the script will simply fail on the router — it will not half-work or cause damage. If your router never comes online after setup, check the version you selected before anything else.
ROS6 specific notes
- ⚠Certificate trouble — some older RouterOS 6 devices struggle to validate HTTPS certificates, which stops them reaching Jasiyo at all. If setup times out on an old board, this is the usual cause. Update the router's certificate store, or contact support and we will talk you through it.
- ℹRB951 confirmed working — Jasiyo has been tested and verified on MikroTik RB951 running ROS6. If you're on similar hardware, the standard setup guide applies.
