While troubleshooting an issue this morning I went to upgrade the routerboard firmware on a CCR after bringing it up to 6.42. The upgrade-firmware now appears to match with the router-os version.
/system routerboard print
routerboard: yes
model: CCR1016-12S-1S+
firmware-type: tilegx
factory-firmware: 3.22
current-firmware: 3.41
upgrade-firmware: 6.42
Now, if Mikrotik would just provide release notes on the routerboard firmware in a handy place.

Mikrotik wAP first looks
The routerboard at the USA Mikrotik User Meeting (MUM) this year was the wAP. For the official specifications on this little gem visit here. Some highlights of this AP.
-802.11 b/g/n
-Weatherproof
-Secure mounting
-802.3at POE
-11-57volt
As you can see a great deal of thought was given into the included parts with this unit. Mount, screws, poe, and even a thick paper template for drilling the wall and ceiling mount.
Whomever is in charge of package and documentation design at Mikrotik gets high marks in my book for this setup. Included is a little instruction sheet which has topics for first use, powering, booting, connecting are all included on the first page in a concise manner. On the second page instructions on netinstall, bootloader, and even enabling CAPs mode are all explained.
At a street price of $45 for this model these have many uses. Outbuildings, work shops, patios, and many other places where an AP needs a little protection from the elements, are all good deployment choices.
