I use a MikroTik Hap ac3 as my router (with a separate AP) and run Winbox on top of WINE on Linux to manage it. The router's operating system, RouterOS, is regularly updated by MikroTik. In this article, I describe how I use MikroTik's RSS feed for RouterOS updates to keep my Hap ac3 up to date (along with a cautionary story from 2018 about why it is important).

I just use the web gui and the mobile app to access. One can set RouterOS to automatically update also?

I'll have to look at the auto update option, never noticed it. I like seeing what changed so RSS works for me, but may be useful for some cases where I won't have a chance to check in.

I've used the web UI before, including when I first set up. Works well but I prefer Winbox and it runs well on WINE. I do use web UI to manage my AP (just a cheap TP-Link device for that).
