MikroTik has certified ROS v7 for a select few devices as "stable", one of those being the CCR2004-16G-2S+. I'm not sure why they consider it "stable" for some platforms and not others, but that's the current state of play. If you're ultra-concerned about stability (and I wouldn't blame you if you were) you could always try labbing it up with a couple of other MT units with Traffic Generators going to see how the new unit handles pushing packets over a period of time.

Hi all,
Last week I picked up a CCR2004-16G-2S+ for a new build (it ticked basically every box for what we need, dual PSU, >8 ports, appealing price point, etc), and powered it up today to realise it is running ROSv7 out of the box, and doesn't have a downgrade path to v6 (my mistake for not reading the description closely enough!).
On one side, the Mikrotik website still lists v7 as beta which makes me uncomfortable pushing this into a prod environment, but on the other side it looks like all of the new models are coming out v7 only so presumably it is considered production ready?
Before I make the trip down to the DC to rack it up, how are others finding v7 stability? Or should I order a CCR1036 (our usual model for this type of work) and chuck the CCR2004 in the cupboard until v7 is a bit further along?
Any input appreciated!
