Hi, Mikrotik fixed something in 6.47.10, so they can be upgraded normally from that version. There was an issue with 6.47.9 which could under some circumstances cause it to use more flash than it should have, so it was not upgradeable normally. They issued a special fix for that issue. Only really needed if you have some that are remote, which makes netinstall non viable. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=175735&sid=fb04b93373103d206fcb6695c0b3e1cd#p861577 Regards Roger Forwarded by: <rplant@melbpc.org.au> From: Andrew Radke <andrew@deepport.net> Date sent: Wed, 11 Aug 2021 09:03:48 +1000 To: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] hAP Lite not hAP-pening... Send reply to: MikroTik Australia Public List <public@talk.mikrotik.com.au> [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] The Mikrotik download page only lists hAP mini and hAP lite under SMIPS so I´m guessing they both have this limitation. Maybe they will both be marked as obsolete? Or maybe Mikrotik will just make a release of RouterOS for these that´s short a couple of base packages to save space. Regards, Andrew

Surely that would apply to all SMIPS devices?! I wonder how they will squeeze ROS7 in given no packages can be uninstalled (yet).

While that would normally be true it won´t work for hAP lites from some versions of RouterOS (particularly 6.47.9). Somewhere in the 6.47s the OS started using too much RAM to be able to leave enough space for the upgrade image.
The official response from Mikrotik is to NetInstall and with luck from 6.47.10 it will again fit.
As far as I saw the hAP lite was the only affected device so it must be a combination of CPU arch and memory size being just a little too small.
