The don't downgrade applies to ROS version and firmware. There may not be an issue with a given product and two versions, but it's a good habit to get into.
Mikrotik's changelog is like cheating on your spouse. Everyone sees you behaving differently now, but there's no official paperwork showing it. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, July 10, 2015 8:06:13 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Netflix app on iPad keeps asking to reconnect This particular router has Routerboard FW 3.18 so I think it was upgraded to 6.19 not downgraded. Also, I don’t see any wireless related changes in the changelog from 6.19 to 6.29. I’m thinking of changing the group key update interval from 5m to 1h which I think is the max. I’m not sure if the group key exchange timeouts are due to the client being in sleep mode, or a problem I should be worrying about. The fact that the Mikrotik sends deauth to disconnect the client which then immediately connects doesn’t seem like a good think. Without the deauth and disconnect, I would not expect unicast traffic to be affected. I’m thinking the iPad knows the WiFi disconnected and tells the app which then pops up the annoying error which requires the user to tap OK and then Play. If I change the timeout to 1h and the frequency of the problem stays the same, I think that will eliminate this as the possible cause. Reading the logs can be confusing, it’s amazing how many iPhones and iPads one family can have. Hard to sort out the problems from normal events.

I've even been downgrading the latest shipment of 951G's that came in with 6.23. Usually switching to Mikrotik from store bought routers solves a lot of iPad/iPhone problems for us. He said this is the latest iPad, would that be the iPad Air 2? I remember the iPad Air being new 2 Christmases ago. -----Original Message----- From: Justin Wilson - MTIN Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2015 9:20 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Netflix app on iPad keeps asking to reconnect Apple devices are picky on their wifi stuff when it comes to mikrotik. I assume you have upgraded to the latest version of RouterOS. This is one of the few times running the latest helps. I was running 6.21 on one of my APs in the house and anytime I roamed to it things became very slow. OS upgrade helped. Is this an iPad, Ipad2, iPad Air?
